C'mon Kit, there's nothing wrong with a tastefully applied flag on the trunk lid.

It makes the car look like a massive, rolling coffin. Creepy.

I caught a yellow ribbon yesterday that, at first, I almost wrote off as being normal until I noticed that part of it was black. I finally caught up to the vehicle to see that while it look identical, written in the same script-like font were the words "Support Pittsburgh".

For what?

Steelers, I guess?

Oh, Lance, what have you started?

I'm rather fond of the little fetus logo on them. It kinda looks like Beavis.

I live in a city with lots of military personnel, so these magnet ribbon things are all over the place. Hey, whatever floats your boat, but I REALLY hate the ones that say "God Bless the USA." I read that as saying "God, we don't give a shit about anyone else. Just help those of us who happen to be Americans." Stupid.

it's kind of funny how intolerant some can be regarding those that they view as intolerant.

And I think it's kinda funny how intolerant some can be about those they think are being intolerant regarding those they view as intolerant.

God is always on "our" side.

Doesn't matter which side you are, or which god you mean.

In WWII there were posters throughout Britain assuring "God is on our side."

There were posters throughout Germany that proclaimed "Gott mit Uns."

I really think those metrospy people are a bunch of liberal weenies that are just trying to make fun of and financially exploit conservatives ... who typically have more disposable income, so it's a reasonably good marketing ploy.

I thought this was clever. I have a pin somewhere that says 'My goddess can beat up your god."

And that goes to show how silly that concept really is.

Because they lost the war, or because they had faith?

warch · 01-26-2005, 10:08 AM

Or because "faith" can be used to justify any cruelty or inhumane act?

I can "tolerate" righteous junk fashions, I'm not ripping off someones arm or ramming their SUV, but I have trouble respecting it.
