It’s also properly pedantic. My kids are grown, but back in the day, if I’d seen them noticing such a sticker, I’d have pointed out the inaccuracy.
Now they’re old enough that I can tell them that polyamory is wrong.

It implies that liberals are easily offended and want to control the behavior of others. In response you got offended and tried to control his behavior. You proved his bumper sticker true. If you find truth insulting then the problem is with you and not the bumper sticker.
Why? I can honestly say, that there are times when I am not horny and honk and, by that same token, there are times where I am horny and don’t honk. I do not feel the need to point out the inaccuracy of the bumper sticker to my children. “Ya know kids, not everyone who honks is horny.”
I thought it was kind of awesome. Be the change you want to see.
I haven’t made it through the thread, but the one I hate is “My kid beat up your honor roll student”. Because way to set high standards for your child.
Also, “It’s a child, not a choice”. No, it’s a choice.
The devil on my shoulder keeps telling me to plaster stickers alongside this one reading, “MY kid got an Uzi for Christmas - who’s the bitch NOW?”
Fully agreed… if you see the change you want to be as that of a total dick
And you know those stick figures on the rear window which show members of the family? I saw one that showed a mom and dad and four kids, but one of the kids had a halo above her head!
Yeah, when your kid dies you should just remove their sticker completely.
I had a neighbor in the 1980s who had a bumper sticker: “In Case of Rapture, This Car will be Unmanned.”
Yes, please watch out…God may hurl my driverless Chevrolet Celebrity at you unsaved heathens.

That one gets my vote for “**Most **Straight Dope T-Shirt. Ever.”
The bumper sticker violated the rules of the workplace, for being contentious, aggressive, offensive, divisive, insulting, and for using a vulgar word. I was right to report it, and they were right to ask it not appear in their parking lot, given that it is their own private property.
Lame.
Do you coworkers realize you rat them out to HR over basically nothing?

You must be thinking of a different bumper sticker.

Any Og worth believing in should have loftier goals than castrating a dick that small.
“Piss off a liberal” isn’t insulting? That’s total bullshit.
Speaking as a liberal, no. Not remotely insulted by that one. A little bemused, in that most of the liberals I know are armed.
Disagreeing with someone else’s point of view does not make that person’s message offensive.
I may or may not like Hillary, but a sticker supporting or opposing her is not offensive.
The “don’t renig” bumper sticker? THAT is offensive.
“It takes a village to raise a savage.”
I don’t get this one. What is it referring to?

In 1996, Hillary Clinton published a book called “It Takes a Village and Other Lessons That Children Teach Us.”
Part of the premise was that the raising and education of children is the responsibility and obligation of the community as a whole, that the nuclear family is not enough.
WOW is short for Whip Them Out Wednesday, which was a promotion by the radio hosts Opie and Anthony. The idea was that you put a WOW sticker on your car, and on Wednesdays women were encouraged to show you their breasts.
I would be offended if that actually worked.
Erm. Well. I didn’t put it in on my car, but I did have a bumper sticker held onto my fridge with a magnet that said, “Republicans for Voldemort.” One day my daughter’s friend’s mom came into my kitchen, saw it, and got absolutely furious with me: “That is SO UNBELIEVABLY OFFENSIVE!!!” Mind you, she worked (and still does) for a Republican senator, so that may have been a slight contributing factor.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should add that the same bumper sticker is STILL on my fridge; it may be dick-ish but at least I keep it mostly to myself.

I am offended by that poster/pic. Implying that I am weak because of words that hurt me hurts my feelings and that is wrong and there should be a law against words that hurt me. Maybe Trinopus can get started on that legislation.
