    I don’t know about the states, but here in Canada the government takes the position “ignorance of the law is not a defence”.

      You’re not being ignorant of the law - you’re being ignorant of the weird computer square printed on the shirt you thrifted

        Claiming you didn’t know it could cause harm isn’t a defense in court in Canada.

        Anymore bullshit?

          Christ you’re a cordial fellow

          I was, I thought quite clearly, having a joking poke. Obviously “didn’t know lol” isn’t a defense.
