Can We Lose This Now? (Coexist)

From time to time I see a bumper sicker going by this design, and using this one word called COEXIST. The reason this is brought up is that, the very ironic thing of what has been going on in Boston this week, with the recent horrible bombing attack towards the end of the 117th Boston Marathon and that it turned out the two suspects are from Chechnya and are Muslim as well. One of the sad things about what has taken place is that, one of the people killed, the little 8-year-old, attended a school which had up to people of up to 83 different backgrounds. Or another one of the victims killed came from of all places, China. Or that the third victim killed managed a restraunt in a city that had persons of all different backgrounds calling it home. What is needed is not a bumper sicker by that one word, “coexist”, but the need to deal with the fact that each human heart can not only do great acts of evil, but also great acts of kindness. The answer is not doing a bumper with the word coexist, but to come to terms with the reality that we humans can very well do both.

Isn’t the Christian cross on the bumper sticker upside down?

Yes we can all live together: “Former Republican U.S. presidential nominee Mitt Romney gave President Obama high marks for his remarks on the Boston Marathon bombings victims.”

There you have it!!

No.

Though I’ve always thought it would be fun to produce a version incorporating a swastika to see how people reacted.

Reminds me of I once went to a zoo that had chickens and a fox within the same cage and the sign outside said “Coexist”.

I asked the worker how they managed to keep the two species together in peace.

“Well, we have to put in a couple new chickens every couple of days”

Nortex, that post is magnificent...and entirely correct.

Islam is a cancer on humanity and sooner or later it will have to be dealt with. If only we could convince these ill functioning folks to just sit there and die of their own inability to create anything quietly...but now, they insist on metastasizing.

I like the bumper sticker with the ‘C’ wrapped in a bomb vest & all the other symbols trying to run away. Very funny!

The “ironic” thing is that there is a REAL organization by the name:

Where`d you get that? It`d make a nice bumper sticker.
