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.
Again, that's public (shared), not yours.

Not sure how (or why) you've gone from "we shouldn't be judging other people's taste" to "I get to defecate wherever I want."

It is a subject of taste is it not?
