    Let me see

    We don’t know if they put that on the car.

    Or if they agree with it

    And even if they did

    They have absolutely every right to put a sticker there

    So I actually fail to see a problem

    Do you want real life to be every form of expression to be censored and controlled by a central authority?

    It’s kinda like having the lady full of lip filler and botox injections telling us that we shouldn’t inject vaccines because we don’t know what toxins are in them.

    What value do George and u/parking_war add here?

    Sorry for being snippy. I do appreciate the post, it’s just funny to me how lately, a lot of memes are three levels of quotes deep.

    Yeah.

    I mean, people aren’t perfect, they’re hypocritical, but I draw the line at loudly preaching hypocriticism, and would want a chewing out if I was this person.

      I remember a guy I used to work with, when I was drinking cold water he said “cold water is bad for you”. I said “you’re holding a cigarette right now”.

        I had a friend who wouldn’t drink tap water because she claimed it contained parasites, but was addicted to Adderall and nicotine and insisted that American Spirits were “healthy” because they are “all natural”.

    Conspiracy theory people pride themselves on “knowing” something that others don’t. It gives them a sense of superiority to everyone else because of that “knowledge”

    An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All (2009):

    Curt Linderman Sr., the host of “Linderman Live!” on AutismOne Radio and the editor of a blog called the Autism File, recently wrote online that it would “be nice” if [rotavirus vaccine co-inventor] Offit “was dead.”

    I’d met Linderman at Autism One. He’d given his card to me as we stood outside the Westin O’Hare talking about his autistic son. “We live in a very toxic world,” he’d told me, puffing on a cigarette.

    It was hard to argue with that.

    We used to shun people like this. No one would dare spew crap like this, let alone advertise it. Now they have their own little groups to tell them they’re sane, they’re right. People need to step it up and show them their shit is socially unacceptable.

    Break that fucking sticker out with a fucking tire iron.

    “Oh my goodness! That’s going too far!”

    No, it is not. People like this are poison to society, they are hurting us. Their bullshit has to be shoved back in the shadows. Make them afraid.
