BRIGHTON, Mich. – Ticking someone off could get you a ticket in one Michigan city. The Brighton City Council on Thursday approved an ordinance allowing police in the Livingston County community to ticket and fine anyone who is annoying in public "by word of mouth, sign or motions."

The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports the measure is modeled on a similar ordinance in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak.

A city attorney says there could be situations where the measure would violate freedom of speech, but that those cases will be reviewed by the city.

The ban takes effect Jan. 2.

The Constitution is so out of touch with the world today, it needs to be changed.

Good thing we have Obama now, I'm sick of these old white men threatened by change.

The new constitution should reflect Political Correctness. We all have the right to never be offended. It's right there with the freedom of the press, the only important article or amendment in the old document.

I think the constitution as we know it lost the last election. :idiot:

BTW The childish use of the word "retarded" does offend me. I have a daughter with Downs Syndrome. I am very proud of her, as she work very hard to do the best she can. Most of us can't say that.

Yes, the constant use of that word to describe something stupid offends me, but I would fight to the my death your right (as childish and inappropriate as it is) to say it.

figures, it's just slowly degrading. more cities will adopt it in the coming years if they feel it is effective. it's when they strip the 2nd amendment that you really have to start worrying, and start to fight it, in a non-politically correct way of course.

for the last 3 months I've seen the newborn baby of a girl I've been "seeing" go cross eyed and not develop like a normal baby should. probably because he was 3 months premie. he is probably gonna have mental disabilities. that's not gonna stop me from calling something retarded. retarded is not even used very often for people with mental handicaps anymore. I'm offended that you got offended, seriously.
