This makes me so sick...

I guess it comes down to freedom of speech for all. People express their feelings in many different ways. Some have marches, some decorate vehicles like this one, some stand on street corners waving signs as passing cars, some scream and harass those who don't feel the same way, some constantly write petitions and letters to their congressional representatives or the President, some write flaming editorials in magazines and newspapers, and some, like us, speak our minds through writing on boards like this where we are allowed to state our opinion, regardless of what it is, and then there are those who choose to stay out of the fray (that would be me :o ). Thank goodness that in the US and many other countries, we are allowed to speak our minds and if we so choose, to demostrate our feelings in a public forum.

Just because what you see "makes you sick" doesn't mean that the people who are expressing it are wrong. They're just expressing an opinion much different than yours.

We said, Logan. :)

Freedom for all.

It also makes me sick...

The truck color is all wrong.
The front end needs some body work too!


Also there is too much of the basic colors used...the red and white clash with the black color scheme at the back.

I would have gone for a softer pastel color scheme and
the use of a different font for the lettering...

Straight people have no sense of color......;)

worse yet.....


How would you like to LIVE next to that???????

"Honey, come look at this.......I think our property value just dropped....."

OK, I just have to jump in here. This type of thing does not offend me at all. There is a similar van like this that runs around my neighbourhood with a big sign on the front saying "Praise Jesus". As far as I'm concerned they are only expressing their opinion. True, I wouldn't want to live next door to it, but it would make me smile seeing it roll down Main Street.

Now, before you jump down my back, what would really get my goat is if "said van" did indeed protest at funerals of gays and lesbians. It shows great disrespect for the deceased and the friends and family.

Yes, Gini, I love cows too.

And that's all I got to say about that.

I agree with Slick and gini, I love cows! And everybody has a right to speak and have their own opinion! That is what America is all about!

Besides when I was a kid, we had cows, and the calves were so adorable, look into those big eyes with the beautiful long eyelashes for awhile and see if they don't steal your heart away.

Well, I agree they have a right to it. And I am all for Freedom of speech.
But, it makes me angry that anyone would presume they are able to be so very hurtful to people. What do they think is going to happen? A gay person will see their white trash car and think "oh man, I'd better get straight so I can have a life like those people" ? Give me a break. It's just cruel and judgemental and I hate that any person feels they have a right to be that way toward another human being.

Yes, they have a right to do this, thanks to our free country. But in my mind, they need a good ass kicking for being just plain mean. Didn't their mothers teach them any manners? Or maybe God came over their car radio and asked them to fill in for him this week as judge, jury and executioner. These people are no better than KKK in my book.

psssttt....

Slick, it's a truck....an older Toyota....

Actually, you could say it's a....
A 'queer' van for the straight man...

One thing that I have noticed about all the 'social problems' we have here in the US....
The most 'vocal-est' people are the people who have either guilt, are closet _________, or have had some kind of traumatic happening in their lives concerning the subject at hand.

The guy driving that vehicle has a huge chip on his shoulder and is probably a closet homosexual.
I relate these guy to the Jim Baker type of men...
they call down the fire and brimstone on all the sinners, but conviniently refuse to take out a mirror and look at who they are..Then they find that a protest at a funeral is quite Christian....those are the worst kind of zealots out there...hypocrites!

And to answer the question about my previous post about color coordination......

no. I have no sense of color.


:confused:

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true


-The girl with faraway eyes, The rolling stones;)

These are the same type of people that would have voted against women and African Americans right to suffrage. Ridiculous! :mad:

I NEVER said that it made everyone else sick. I NEVER said that he wasn't able to express his own opinion. I NEVER said he was wrong for expressing his opinion.

I think it's sick that he, or she(can't quite see the driver) took their time and effort to make such things and put it on their vehicle. I'd be sickened if it said something else either - such as against god, Against a certain race and so on.


What if I had a strong opinion against heterosexual marriages. Would you all agree with me 'fancying' my vehicle to say ''Shame on America, No woman + man marriages.'' It'd probably make you sick. Just as this person has made me sick. Would you find it humorous and giggle. Probably not.

I don't understand what some people's issues are. :rolleyes:

This guy used to park his cars up the street from work......very interesting.....

I noticed that the truck/van does have a CA plate and a reference to the CA legislature/assembly bill numbers on the side......


I apologize on behalf of all Cah lee fuh nee uns
to everyone that was even remotely offended ...and to those who were remotely amused.........you see this all the time out here so you learn to roll your eyes and laugh out loud.:cool:

Richard, those cars are horrid! I just don't understand people. Who would want to be seen in something like that?

You EXPECT ME TO KNOW??? ;)

I just bring you the news....I let others write, edit and produce it.:)

Take the stupid signs off, and I might be tempted to drive it! But without the signs pleeease!
