Re: Stupid bumperstickers

The Willamette Valley anyway. The rest of the state is a different story. Plenty o' "shut up hippy" stickers out there

It's hard for my closet conservative views here!!
A gal was asking me about my hair asking me if I went to the "Country Fairs" and what not...I told her I was a closet republican...I think she fell off her chair!!

shhhh.....

Oh and to the bumper sticker thread.....Vegetarian in Indian means Poor Hunter...I see alot of those, how offensive and stupid are those!! (offensive to the Indian I mean)...

Re: Stupid bumperstickers

What gives somebody the right to offend my sensibilities and those of my kids -- or ANYBODY'S kids?

Oh yeah, the first amendment. Right.

Next thing you know, Erika will be telling people what kind of clothes they can wear (because God forbid some punk kid has a T-shirt on with verbiage she doesn't agree with), or a bookstore what kind of books they can and cannot sell, because she won't have her kids exposed to whatever she terms offensive.

I know, I know... you wouldn't really do that, would you?

Harping on the First Amendment is a mighty slippery slope.

I must live in redneck land because I honestly see at least 5 of those per week!

I'm not harping on the first amendment -- I'm just complaining about some people's insensitive applications of it on bumper stickers and other displays that are visible to the public.
I've seen LOTS of punk kids with T-shirts I find offensive. I can't stand it, but I don't yell at them or scowl at them or anything.
I know full well that those people, punk kids, punk grownups, whoever, have a right to express whatever objectionable thing they want.
I don't have the right to control other people's freedom of expression -- but I DO have the SAME RIGHT to say that I don't like it. I can even express that I think it's shameful and reflects badly on them.
Rights often come with responsibilities -- and I think the First Amendment is a prime example.

Absolutely. That's why I've always admired you Erika... not only are you a pretty lady, but you're an incredibly intelligent and eloquent woman as well.

Re: Stupid bumperstickers

Personally I find it offensive that language is offensive. And the same with sex, a natural act. Just sayin' perhaps we all need to lighten up...

Of course at the time of my authoring this I'm a young guy and my tune may very well change when I have kids of my own, hehe.

If and when it does, you can laugh about the statements you made when you were younger, and it will help you to be more tolerant of the next generation. It'll make you a fun ol' fut.
