Rank the Bumper Stickers
So, imagine this: based solely on the presence of a bumper sticker (or similar adornment) on a car, you are asked to rank the following people in order of "I'm likely to get along with this person." You don't have any other information to go on -- not even information about the car.
Re-rank the following list in order of "most likely" (top) to "least likely' (bottom). - - - - - One Day At a Time I Brake For Garage Sales Visualize World Peace Think Globally, Act Locally Calvin pissing on something 3 If You Don't Like My Driving, Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT In-N-Out Burger fish with "Jesus" inside fish with feet, and "Darwin" inside Practice Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty Practice Random Senseless Acts I'm the NRA, and I Vote NIN Don't Laugh, It's Paid For I'd Rather Be Sailing I'd Rather Be Fishing "Diver Down" flag/symbol My Child is an Honor Roll Student AAA Support Our Troops Bring Our Troops Home Abortion Stops a Beating Heart World's Greatest Dad My Other Car is a Harley - - - - - Intended as a harmless, entertaining exercise - not looking to inspire yet another redstatebluestate fight here, believe me. I only included the rather political ones because, well, politics is a pretty big part of the universe of bumper stickers, and to ignore them would leave the discussion incomplete, I think. I might be proven wrong -- maybe it wasn't worth it. |

I'm with you. The fact that someone would ruin their car with a bumper sticker greatly bothers me. In fact, when I purchased my car, I made them give me a different one because they had already glued that stupid free advertisement onto the one I had picked out.

I'll play the game, but this in no way condones the use of bumper stickers:

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. When my truck got rear-ended a few years back, I told the dealership not to re-apply the "Dodge" decal on the tailgate. I like my vehicles clean. If I could, I'd buy them without any logos or insignia whatsoever. |

Bumper Stickers are REALLY popular here in Shreveport. While I am glad many have to do with Support Our Troops, the rest have to do with the Earnhardt family and Jesus.
However, the only bumber sticker I have is a small US flag like on the NFL Football helmets....anyway.... Here's my list, I hope I win!

Again, QuikSand tries to get information out of us that can be used to categorize each of us (remember the "What are your TiVo season passes?" thread?). He's definitely going to do something to us someday. I just haven't figured out what he's going to do yet.
 I'm not going to provide a list of bumper stickers here because I don't really have time at the moment, but I will say that I have three stickers on my back windshield. One in the lower left corner says "UNO Alumni." One in the lower right corner says "New Jersey Devils." One in the very center of the windshield says "Alumni: University of New Orleans." Personally, I tend to like bumper stickers that show pride in personal achievement, support of sports teams, and funny sayings. I don't like bumper stickers with polarizing or political statements at all, but that's just me. Then again, I guess being a Devils fan sort of polarizes me from the few Rangers fans that are out there.

I have the following stickers:
"I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass." "Bad Cop. No Donut" *picture of Confederate Flag* "You Lost. Get Over It." "If you can read this, I can hit my brakes and sue you." "Tell Your Girlfriend I Said Thanks."

Every car I've bought I made it part of the deal that they had to take off that dealer sticker they always put on it. My list would look almost identical to VPI's except the NRA sticker would be a lot closer to the bottom. Other than that we're in sync. |

Dola- I can honestly say I would have none of those. The two on my van are; an oval with VGN inside, and a native american with the words "Who's the illegal alien pilgrim?"
On my Blazer are; "Keep your politics out of my music" and a couple for bands/record labels.

By the way... I, too, abhor bumper stickers, and wouldn't have any of them on my car... but the phenomenon fascinates me.

I've had one:
"National Atheist's Day," "April 1st." "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God' " (Ps. 53:1a). Unfortunately, I ran into too many people that thought the sticker meant I was an atheist. Being a Christian, this made for interesting conversations. One person in particular was very angry about the whole ordeal.

I bought that particular sticker because I was living in Lower Alabama (i.e. Florida panhandle), and I had the enjoyment of seeing pissed off rednecks staring at me after passing my truck.

Hmm...I probably wouldn't agree with very many of these (most of them are stupid, if you ask me...even things I agree with, if it's on a sticker on your car you're probably too fanatical about it for me), but what the heck. I'm not really sure what Diver Down or In-N-Out Burger stand for...
