Okay....in the interest of objectivity. I guess I could see how that would be a little offensive.

That was my license plate. A bunch of us girls at First Methodist University decided to lose weight together and when we reached that goal weight I celebrated us “slims” and bought that plate. FMU SLMS. I was really mad when they made me give it up.

I like the “coexist” bumper stickers — whenever a moron self-identifies, it makes my life just a little bit easier...

If a Christian finds a license plate offensive, what will the state of Minnesota do?

They would do nothing, maybe even cheer. How did Muslims ever become our sacred cows?
