IVB – in vitro broccoli
Yes, but where do you stand on the troops?
Right, I’m saying!
Oh…
You might want to relax a little. It’s called kidding around.
ETA: But in all fairness, I’m only asking that all Christians be sent to heaven, whereas most Christians think all atheists shoudl be sent to hell. So, I’m not sure how I would be the bad guy even if I were serious…
I saw this on a general contractor’s truck: “Annoy a liberal: work hard and be happy.”
It *did *annoy me, but probably not for the reasons the truck owner thought it should.
One I see around here a lot (Florida):
“Stand up for America! BE an American!”
Is this supposed to be a condescending dig at immigrants, illegal or elsewise? Oddly I could only find one blurry pic on Google Images, but several parodies…
SOME Christians thing athiests are going to hell (it’s not that they want them to go there).*
PP (who is christian and figures that athiests have the same shot I do)
*unless you really are an asshole. Then regardless of your religion (or lack thereof) I want you to go to hell.
Yep, you’re an asshole. “It was just a joke!”, has always been used by bigots to cover up their hateful comments and stereotyping.
But I’m done. I’m not going to help some douchebag hijack a thread about bumper stickers because he wants to talk about how all Christians are evil. I’m just going to call you an asshole again and drop it from here on out.
Reminds me of the commercial for the orange juice made from “Real Florida oranges.” What if I like the Troyer variety from California better?
Well, let me tell you why it was actually a joke.
-
It isn’t even possible. There’s no scenario by which what I said could actually happen (the different beta version gods and such).
-
A lot of people in my family are Christians, and I would miss them if they were gone. So, no, I don’t wish they would all leave the planet.
Beyond that, I don’t - by any stretch - think all Christians are evil. Not even close. Maybe like 1%. There are more than that with some crappy ideas, and a lot of them support some things I disagree with, but that’s a long cry from evil. Of course, the really loud, fundamental ones are annoying, but big deal so are a lot of other people.
But if you really, really can’t comprehend the joke that “hey - the rapture is meant to save the righteous, but us sinners are glad to see you go” then that’s your business. Go ahead and think I’m an asshole if it makes you happy.
I was hoping this thread was about that idiotic (or idiotically reported, many times you can’t tell) study released earlier this week that “proves” that watching TV for an hour takes 22 minutes off your life because of the sedentary nature of the activity.
Uh, I’ll remember that when I curl up with a book. Or go to sleep. Or work on a spreadsheet. :rolleyes:
I saw that very one today on a minivan in front of me at a red light. There was also one that said “Unlike Obama, I LOVE America,” as well as two with Obama caricatures and derogatory comments (one about terrorism) I can’t cite from memory. Matter of fact, this person’s vehicle was a testament to his/her whole belief system–I know the owner was a member of the NRA, a vet, a supporter of the local (Florida) sheriff, and unhappy with “Change.”
It was a long light. Maybe I should have taken notes.
That fucking yellow ribbon, I’ve been tempted to put one on my car and cover the words with ‘Jingoism’.
at least this one makes sense, but the longer I thought about it the more it bothered me: “WE ARE the proud parents of an honor student at XXXX CHRISTIAN SCHOOL”
Is it just me or is this a self righteous slap in the face to single/gay/atheist parents?
I feel the same way whenever I see a sticker for a muslim school. Is it just me or is this a jihadist slap in the face to women who would dare to drive?
This kind of thing, here in Australia WHERE IT’S COMPULSORY TO VOTE!
Of course you vote, moron, pretty much everyone here does.
I saw one a couple of weeks ago that I almost started a thread about - I’m still not totally sure I get it. It read “I don’t dial 911” with a picture of a bullet hole. After some googling, it appears that the owner of the bumper sticker doesn’t dial 911 because (s)he is too busy shooting intruders. But how does that help as a bumper sticker? If it were on your door, or a little sign in your yard, I could understand, but do you think putting this sticker on your car prevents people from following you home to rob you? Or does it mean that, rather than calling for help when you witness a roadway accident, you’ll just be “putting the injured out of their misery”?
“God bless {whoever}”
I always want to cross out the {whoever} and write “us, everyone!”

Slap in the face to the parents of dumb and lazy kids, maybe. I don’t really see why it’s a slap in the face to single/gay/atheist parents in particular? It’s just bragging that your kid is smart.
You apparently missed all the ones about the proud parents of honor students at public schools. They’re out there, but apparently not ro-enducing enough for you to notice. 
I think the rub for tenacious j was the emphasis on the words WE, thereby drawing attention to the concept of two parents. But it doesn’t particularly strike me as a slap in the face to anyone.
