Bumper stickers are silly. From ages 28 to 68 a man shouldn't have bumper stickers on his ride. College kids and old farts doing the RV thing, it's ok for them.
Are you saying if I put a bumper sticker on my SUV that says: You SOB. You're Behind Me Where You Belong Eat My SH*T, MotherF****r That I'm probably going to be in a fight every day? Did this study you refer to spend any of my tax dollars?
That was always my suspicion. It doesn't even matter how "harmless" the bumper sticker is...For instance, what do you think would happen if you put on an Ohio State University sticker and parked it in Ann Arbor?? Some drunk idiot after the bars closed would probably key your car or puncture the tires. It's just not worth the hassle of "offending" the mouthbreathers of the world. They've got nothing better to do than trash your property to defend their allegiance.
My bumper sticker reads: "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others." (props to groucho marx - he's da man)
Currently, being "uncivil" works. probably civil discourse works in academia, that's about it. Nothing is on the line. Just a bunch of psychological babbling nonsenseical educators using terms and phrases, nodding and harummpping. Harumph... harumph...
Symbolically Spiker, you enter P&R each day walking backwards with your naked pink ass leading the way making it difficult for you to use your senses or your brain. I see you constantly making sniping little comments from the sidelines particularly towards Lucrum and also towards just about everyone else. I suspect you are Dutch and posting from Holland because of that particular nasty commenting habit and your proclivity to enter the room ass first.
In case you hadn't noticed, the thread went off the rails within one post when a longstanding member's sockpuppet alias accidentally posted on his laptop. I don't think there was much hope of the thread living up to its title after that faux pas.
