Poll question: I committed vandalism |
|
I saw a Bush Cheney 2004 bumper sticker on a big ass gas guzzling SUV the other night, and tore it off when no one was looking. The poll is: WAS THIS WRONG?

It was in the hospital parking lot while I was spending time with my mom. I didnt want her to have to view it when she left the hospital. She is doing well btw.

I'm glad your mom's doing well.
I still don't think destroying other people's property because you disagree with their politics is a decent thing to do. I know I wouldn't want people to do it to me.

6. How do you know their politics differ? |

The owner may have been planning on taking it off anyway. Maybe they couldn't because of their arthritis. Maybe they didn't even put it on their bumper in the first place - maybe the sweet-old-Roosevelt-voting-lady's freeper neighbor put it on her bumper and her freeper grandson who mows her lawn refused to rip it off for her! You can't go making all these prejudicial assumptions!

21. well maybe somebody could break into your house |
|
and decide that maybe you don't really want your television, that somebody else had broken in recently and put it there, and they'd be doing you a service by taking it away for you.
Are you for real?

I am not sure how her seeing a bumpersticker will send her over the edge.

Bumper stickers are free speech. We should not suppress speech even if we disagree with it.

Bumperstickers don't belong on cars, I think it's just me. For some strange reason I think cars should stay naked.

9. Vandalism is against the law |
|
that's the bottom line. Whether you agree with a persons politics or not, vandalism is wrong and what you did makes all Dems look bad.

12. THEY do that kind of shit unto US all the time... |

Fight fire with fire I say. You can't bring a pillow to a gun fight. Our side loses too often because we aren't prepared to be just as underhanded and low as the other side.
One of my favorite quotes on this topic: Dark Helmet: So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

20. Yep it was done to me |
|
Someone added a bumper sticker to my car, and it was for a Democratic candidate that I didn't support. And I didn't like it one bit. So I wouldn't dream of doing that to someone else.
If it's not yours, don't touch it.

Quite frankly, I think suppressing the free speech of another is a very Freeper-ish thing to do.

13. I'm not sure it was vandalism |
|
But it was definitely wrong. I'd be way pissed if someone did that to my Kerry sticker.

14. I think it was wrong. |

It's legally wrong, and morally wrong as well in my opinion. Be the better person. :hi:

Frankly, a Bush/Cheney sticker on a huge SUV rather proves our point better than we ever could, eh? :D
