I agree, but it's also the incongruity of the whole thing that bothers me. It's like Colonel Kurtz stated in Apocalypse Now, "We train young men to drop fire on people, but we won't let them write F#*k on their airplanes, because it's obscene." Yes I know Kurtz was insane but he made a solid as hell point there. Riddle a guy with bullets, ok! Urinate on his corpse, prison time!
For the record I understand why that kind of conduct is not allowed, but, again, the incongruity of the whole thing really bothers me.
