Sign of road rage may be on bumper

Three horrors await Americans who get behind the wheel of a car for a family road trip this summer: the spiraling price of gas, choruses of "Are we there yet?"—and the road rage of fellow drivers.

Divine intervention might be needed for the first two problems, but science has discovered a solution for the third:

Watch out for cars with bumper stickers.

That's the surprising conclusion of a recent study by Colorado State University social psychologist William Szlemko.

Question Gender.

What does that even MEAN?

I once saw a "Gender is Binary" t-shirt that I thought was pretty clever.

Just like all early 70s VWs (both Bugs and vans) came with the obligatory “McGovern ‘72” sticker.

I’ve always wanted a gold ‘65 Pontiac GTO with a black and gold “Au H2O” sticker. One day...

"The more markers a car has, the more aggressively the person tends to drive when provoked," he said.

That seems rather broad a brush to me..

[real saxophonist]

In seven years of delivery driving, it's been my experience that the majority of aggressive/asshole/road rage drivers in this area have this license plate:

Not ALWAYS, of course, but enough of the time for me to have noticed it through the years.

I told a couple of other drivers about it, and sure enough, they've told me later they now notice the same thing.

I LOVE IT.

OMG that is perfect.

[MeanWestTexan]

LOL at 40 and 29.

I, too, did not get 40 for a while. I don’t think liberals would get it. Too slow.

My two favorites along with assorted ribbons and military emblems...all made into magnets.

It took me a few seconds...LOL!!

That was asked earlier and this was my initial thought:

I do recall reading that some felt it was discriminatory to limit choices to male or female on applications such as a driver’s licenses. Perhaps it was that group.

Question Gender.

What does that even MEAN?

It's referencing the common liberal belief that male and female gender roles are learned behavior, rather than instinctive and driven by biology.

Of course, in the circles in which that driver moves, it's probably necessary to question every individual's gender. ;)

[PA Engineer]

Love it. Fantastic.

[MrB]

Men and women are created equal, but not the SAME.

That’s where Satan comes in - trying to make them the same.

That would be like trying to walk with two left shoes.

[Gabz]

I saw a great one yesterday:

If the Flag Offend You
Dial 1-800-LEAVE-AMERICA

[Positive]

I like the old one that goes something like:

"If You Don't Like My Driving, Get Off The Sidewalk."

[samtheman]

That driver’s probably gender insane.

(I just made it up. I have not idea what it means either. I think the game is you can just use the word gender in any sentence in anyway you want.)

[I see my hands]

"I LOVE IT"

There nothing you can sing that can't be sung, lol.

Thanks for this HTML primer. I wasn't the one asking but I did learn some more about the images. Another day, another brain cell or two filled.
