Yep.

This country is full of them, those who think 9/11 was an inside job, those who think Iraq posed a threat to us, those who think Bush is doing a good job, etc.

While I don't believe that Iraq was an inside job, I'm not surprised by the amount of people who think might have been. Just look how the administration moved right in to profit on EVERYTHING. They more or less abandoned the search for Osama to invade Iraq for profit. They've given Osama everything he could have possibly imagined and more. Great strategic planning to call this the "War on Terror" with no defined objectectives, each new profit venture can be a new branch of the "War". (War has never been officially declared, BTW)

You'd think that the administration could have shown SOME restraint on the war-profiteering to dispel some of the accusations of war-profiteering. But, the American populace doesn't seem to mind. Ironic, because that's what caused the whole mess...

That said, since I've graduated from college, and work at a bank in Indiana, I am scared to put anything that isn't pro-white/conservative/Christian on my car... Sad, really.

Wow, you should have proposed to that woman on the spot. Then you could raise an entire fleet of vandlising, delusional children.

I just went to Wal-Mart to get an extra ethernet card, and was in there for no longer than 2 minutes. When I came out, there was two women by my car, and when I got closer, one of the women was using a marker to cover up one of my bumper stickers!

The bumper sticker says, "9/11 was an inside job." And has three websites to go to. I'm sure you guys are familiar with them. Now, I put that sticker on there because I fully stand behind the evidence.

When I got closer, I asked, "What gives you the right to deface my car?" She then started to yell at me for my views and how I hate my country, said that I must be muslim and that I should move to Canada if I hate my country.

To note, I absolutely love my country and what it was built on, but our country has changed, thanks to our government, so therefore, I love my country, but fear my government. I know that's a quote from somebody.

Anywho, I tried to get a word in or ask her to look at some evidence rather than ridicule me, but she wouldn't let me speak, or anybody else, for that matter.

She had a POW-MIA shirt on, and was screaming that her son was protecting my freedom of speech. Maybe he is, but she ignored the fact that she was criticizing me for having something to say in this supposed free country.

Ah well, I stood up for what I believed, which is what matters. Hopefully she isn't so close-minded in everything she comes across.

Comments?:)
First, you are a tard for putting any bumper sticker on your vehicle
Second, conspiracy theorists should be shot on sight.
Third, she shouldn't have touched your property, but she had every right to tell you how much of a tard you really are.
Fourth, Wal-Mart had nothing to do with this experience. It could have happened anywhere as I am sure you touch a lot of nerves with that retarded bumper sticker.

If that was a permanent marker and she marked the paint I'd have stayed and filed a police report, but I don't like bumper stickers on my car.

Someone used a key or something to scrape off my wifes Bush sticker at safeway. That one pissed me off.

though i think bush is an idiot like many people but i'm not going to stoop to the level to scrape some stranger's bumper sticker off their car...

Your views are idiotic but you're still right in that she should respect your idiocy and leave your car alone.

Edit: PLEASE DON'T MOVE TO CANADA.

Well, with a bumper sticker like that you're no doubt going to attract attention from the ultra-patriotics we have in this country. I would've went with something along the lines of "Question the Controversy: Study 9/11" instead of taking the inside job approach, but that obviously gets YOUR feelings across. Of course people will rag on you around here for even LOOKING INTO a 9/11 conspiracy, so it goes to show you how ultra-sensitive some of these CT-Yahoos are (the ones calling CT'ers crazy just because they believe in or study ANY non-official theory) in this society. It makes me happy that I see more and more cars in Philly with 9/11 controversy stickers too, hopefully that means more people are getting the message that something like this happening was HIGHLY possible.

Props to you for standing up for what you believe in regardless, but considering she did something as unconscionable as deface your car with ink, I would've taken that marker to her face and ALL OVER her car depending on the mood I was in for doing something like that.

Reminds me of the quote that's along the lines of "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to death your right to say it". Forget who said it though.

I would have gotten her plates and pressed charges for vandalism.

Not because I would really care what happened to the car, but because cvnt's like that need to be SAT THE FVCK DOWN.

I had a NIN sticker torn off my car once.

i had a cop tell me he gave me all the tickets he could give me because he didnt like the "wasted youth - ****** authority" and the "how do you call the cops on a cop?" stickers on my car back in high school. i got all of them thrown out when the judge asked him if it was true. he said yes.


and this chick was about as much a nutjob as you were seeming to be.

She shouldn't have done that to your car, some people can't handle people with opinions that are different from their own. Then again, I find all those political bumper stickers dumb anyway.

No. Sorry but not all opinions are valid. I will respect your right to hold an obviously incorrect belief, but I will never respect that belief.

we don't rag on you for looking into it, we rag on you because you stand on faulty evidence.
