You don't have to sell me on it, I was already convinced.

I will shit on your porch and you will have to respect my cultural decisions as you step over it.
See, the "your" in there is what we call a possessive pronoun. It indicates that something (in this case, my porch) is owned by someone (in this case, me). That makes what you are proposing doing a property rights issue, not cultural criticism.

Shit on your own porch all you want.

Fine, I will shit on the public sidewalk easement.
Huh
If you want to shit on your own porch, and while you're at it, redesign your porch to look like shit, more power to you.
