Offensive bumper stickers
http://tuffybudgeorge@yahoo.com ^ | Dec 8, 2005 | Tuffy

Posted on 12/08/2005 5:42:45 AM PST by tuffydoodle

Yesterday my husband and I were doing some errands. We were stopped at a red light and woman in a truck pulled up beside us, but just a little ahead. On her back window was a sticker that said, "I f#$%ed your boyfriend." (it was written out, no symbols like I just did) She also had several other offensive stickers, but that one was by far the worst. When the light turned green we got up beside her, my husband honked several times to get her attention but she wouldn't look at us. She finally did and I mouthed "you pig" at her. I'm just glad I didn't have my 5 kids with me, included my 6 year old who likes to read everything she sees, out loud.

Uh, that wasn't the one addressed on my original post.

Your condescension and sarcasm are palpable, no need for sarcasm tags.

Your arguments are really starting to reach. I didn't say anything about a bra and panties, I said if it was obscene. Pubic hair, genitals, anus are all obscene and yes, I would call the cops.

You could have said, "I see by the bumper sticker that you are driving your father's car."

For the hundredth time, my eyes can take it. I'm trying to protect my children from obscene material, as most responsible parents do. That's why God gave children parents, to protect them.

To some, Helen Keller jeans would be obscene, you know the ones, so tight you can read her lips. Now tell me, is this an obscene joke.

DON'T REACT! That is what the swine is looking for, hoping for. Just ignore 'em and, chastise your son, gently, if tries to read it aloud. "We don't say things like that."

I say if you see the vehicle again, follow, wait until they get out and leave the vehicle and paste pro-BUSH bumper stickers over the offensive ones.

Why should your opinion be the only one that matters.

Why should their (where "They" are the folks who use what for more than a century has been considered obscene language in public) opinion be the only one that matters? I'm not trying to be contentious or glib. I'm just (hypothetically -- mine has also grown and left home) wondering why those people get to say when I introduce my kid to the concept of bad language.

Well said Becky. I agree with your points. In today's society, there is no getting away from foul language, and "shocking" things. It's getting worse every day and we can't change the world, unfortunately, with people like this driver.

So, the best thing is to teach your children proper morals and values and hope they grow up learning to adjust and ignore the wrongs in this world, versus reacting to everything. Two wrongs never make a right.

I'm trying to figure this out, are you asking me if that's a joke I would tell a roomful of 6 year olds?

Do you remember classygreeneyedblond that use to post here? The pic posted on her home page was of a fully clothed individual woman whom many thought was obscene. It was sexy yes but not obscene IMO but others here did. Just whos morals do we instill on everyone, just yours?

I guess some people on this thread in tiny towns where 911 is used to order pizza, get football scores, and whine about petty stuff.

So I can't say the F word in public? Again, its a word. BFD.

If it's just a word, then why the euphemism? Is it cause even Free Republic has community standards over the use of vulgarities?

Would you continue a cascade of vulgarities in the presence of toddlers? Would you swear like a sailor in line at McDonald's with grade school children right in front of you?

Then one shouldn't have a printed vulgarity on one's car where all can read it. Sometimes it is OK. Sometimes it isn't.

Some in our office were referring calls to the PD. They finally called us and complained and made sure we told everyone that such calls went to 911. We cover an area of over 130,000 souls

No, if the woman wearing the jeans was in the checkout line right ahead of you and you with your six year old right behind her. Some may find it obscene others may not.

There's a verb missing there. I guess in big cities they not only have inadequate 911 services, but they don't use verbs.

Come on, you over-reacted to my post. Big deal. Some places have 911 of the kind you (and I, as it happens) prefer, other places route all dispatch issues through 911. Here we deal with 5 different Law Enforcement operations, several fire departments, and a Rescue Service. Our Dispatch center is new and impressive and can handle a LOT of stuff and provides a central record keeping function (for things like when calls were made and responded to and so forth) that is also very useful. It's not the way I would have done it, but it's not bad.

It's not our ADULT skin than we are worried about. We are trying to protect our children from public obscene material

EXACTLY!!! Hello???? Has anyone noticed how our world has become? It's because the children of yesterday are now out there doing the things THEIR parents should have taught them NOT to do.

I hate to quote Whitney Houston here, but she said it right....Our children are OUR future, all of us. And if WE don't take responsibility and stand up to teach them what's right and wrong and take away the filth and obsene material that SHOULD NOT be out in public, and create standards for which to live by, our world is going to hell in a hand basket faster than we'll realize.

Don't blame the kids, blame the parents. It's OUR responsibility as parents to do our jobs. Ignoring it and "growing a thicker skin" is NOT an answer. Period!!! Have a look around you and see exactly why...
