Okay, I'm all about a good blast of well-aimed sarcasm, but I'm getting almost alarmed at most of the bumper stickers I've seen. They're getting down-right hateful and mean-spirited. Political ones - both liberal and conservative - are just angy and confrontational. Environmental ones all imply that if I'm not driving a hybrid and wearing organic hemp clothing - I am single-handedly killing the planet. And religious ones - well, for a supposedly Christian driver, these people are NOT showing Christ-like love.

Before I get blasted, Free Speech and expression is something I believe in very strongly, but I just don't get why people think is cool or funny to be mean or degrading or condescending to people, especially people they've never met. :poke:

I agree...and I'm not a fan of some items now "dangling" from the backs of trucks and SUVs...

There's something to be said for just respecting that everyone else might not agree with you, so why be so loud about it?! :poke:

I know what you mean, Di.

I'd like to think it's the TV's fault.

I'm really blaming all of society's ills on television lately. It's kind of ringing true in a lot of cases.

:laugh: Those started out on livestock haulers trucks.. (have no idea what they are for either)... guess they jumped the "truck stop" barrier huh?

I think people do a lot of stuff now days just for the "shock" factor..

is it empowering? i dunno..... maybe trying to emulate Howard Stern? :laugh: a new class of society? "Howies" ? :)

Self horn tooting chest beaters all trying prove that their idea/humor/political/religious point of view is best or the only one.
I believe Respect and Civility still reigns in our society and will always shine through the dark cloud.

What's really funny is when you see a car (mini van~?~) that has the entire rear end littered with bumper stickers...some might even be funny, but how can you possibly read more than 2 out of hundreds~?~

Maybe they are holding the car together... :whistle:

If one feels the need to dangle an artificial, cartoon-ishly large scrotum from one's vehicle, there's obviously other compensation issues. Just sayin' :whistle:

i think this situation is just like most of the rest of them in life- the vocal minority seems to be the norm until you realize they are just louder and more obnoxious, the majority of people are still good, caring, normal folks who feel the same way as you
