Dumbest Freeper truck I saw today. |
|
I was going down Division Ave to a meeting today and right in front of me was this blue and white Dodge truck with two American flag Ram logos on the back windows. On the back bed door were the words "Terrorist Terminator" in red lettering with white bordering. :wtf:
Then as fate would have it, after I left the meeting I happened to be following the SAME truck until I had to turn on 44th street.
It is one of those times I wish I had my camera with me. I mean who would have something like that on their vehicle?
Worst truck ever.

1. Terrorist Terminator, my ass. |
|
My question would be, why in the fuck isn't the driver over in Iraq right now?
Wars aren't fought and won by bumperstickers.

What really pisses me off is the excuses they make for why they aren't volunteering. "Someone has to stay here to make sure we're safe", and yada yada yada.
Pisses me off big time! :nuke:

7. My mom was just asking me if the National Guard would take me in... |
|
I am hearing impaired BTW and she said I should call them and ask. Apparently she thinks it would be a good thing for me.
She obviously doesn't know that I could have a chance of going to Iraq.

10. No, and I should have... |
|
I think she is thinking since I have turned 27 and have no direction in life (I am on SSDI and SSI due to mental and developmental disorders) that I should try to get in there to have a job. She has been bugging me and my sister about our lives.

13. Blue, I work with people with disabilities. |
|
I get mad when the non-disabled look at those with problems and say, in essence, "Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Oy. Your mom may have good intentions, but sometimes, boots don't come with straps. And sometimes, even if they do, the wearer just doesn't have the wherewithall to use them.

17. Hey thanks for your support SeattleGirl |
|
My mom is disabled too (kidney failure, well she has a kidney transplant, heart failure) She's on SSI for the heart failure but she also has the benefits from her husband.
I mean I am 27 years olds and I am living with my FATHER. Housing is difficult here in GR at this time.
Then my mom is mad at Granholm because apparently she isn't getting the jobs in here :eyes:

19. Believe me, Blue, I deal with many employers who are convinced |
|
that one of their employees are faking their injury/disability, just as a way to "get them". And they continue to feel that way despite x-rays, MRI's, CAT Scans, and other objective medical info.
I have had some clients who indeed DID fake their injuries, but overall, they are injured.
And I also find that there is a bit of reverse age discrimination going on. "What? You're disabled? But you're only twenty-something! You CAN'T be disabled." Oy. :eyes:
It's amazing to me how many people in high positions in companies are so freakin' stupid!

9. Your mom asked you that? |
|
Holy shiite! I'd smuggle my daughter out of the country before I'd encourage her to enter the military right now. I don't hate the military; not at all. But right now, signing up can definitely be dangerous to your health and your life.
As far as being hearing impaired, I wonder if that would even be a barrier right now, given that the military is stretched so thin.

12. Just on a lark I actually went and visited the armed forces recruiting center |
|
here in town. They said they wouldn't take me and that in fact in the Marines (Or was it Navy) they actually discharged someone because he was hearing-impaired. I guess they were slow to find out :shrug:

18. My vote would be for desperate. |
|
On one hand, I feel bad for the kid, being kicked out, as he signed up on a voluntary basis. On the other hand, I am glad he's out, as his impairment could put him in a very dangerous situation by not being able to fully hear what is going on around him.

My brother-in-law Floyd made it all the way through the fourth week of Basic before they figured out that if he closes one eye the other shuts down too. Just covering it for an eye test doesn't affect his vision, but if he closes one eye he's totally blind.
Being able to see with one eye closed is definitely a job requirement in the Army, so they gave him a medical discharge.

24. Doesn't that fly in the face of one of their primary arguments? "We're fighting |
|
them over there so that we don't have to fight them here."
So, what, we're not safe here now? Better bring them home so they can fight them here I guess.

but he might as well have that on that.
Damn now I really wish I could have taken a pic of that. I am going to start carrying my camera with me when I am out driving so that I could catch things like this.

4. It wasn't a bumpersticker... |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-08-07 01:47 AM by BlueStorm
It was a decal, lettering about 2 inches tall on the whole left side of his rear bed door.
Blue
On edit: While passing him to get in the left turn lane on 44th street I caught a glimpse of him. He looked like a tiny turtleman. At least that is what I saw in the split second that I saw of him, then again it was dark so I couldn't see him very well.

22. Freeper Bumperstickers in Texas are a little more subtle. They say things like... |
|
"Houston Police" or "Dallas Police" or "Travis County Sheriff's Department"

21. Near my town there is a guy who has a "License to Hunt Democrats" on his truck |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-08-07 03:47 AM by marzipanni
I parked next to him at the grocery store with my Democratic Underground and 'War will not create Peace and Security' bumperstickers. I kept my eye out for him in the store, but didn't see him... I thought if I saw him I'd say something, and he'd probably spit tobacco juice on my shoe, so it's just as well. :eyes:

29. I wish I had the cord to be able to hook up my cellphone |

but alas it costs too much and I'll have to wait until next month.
Meanwhile my camera should suffice. Who knows, he might be driving around today.
