OK, then how about rap music and the song "Cop Killer". Many people called for a boycott (and even tried to get laws passed against rap music in general) due to the content of that one song.
I was just trying to point out that you were making this some kind of huge cultural rift, and it doesn't seem that way to me. There are a lot of issues where I do think we differ (the general worth of human life as a good example, religious tolerence, freedom of the press, woman's rights), but getting their knickers in a bunch due to a percieved injustice seems like a uniter, not a divider.
