Maryland is banning explicit vehicle decorations.

Or you could just not go into the detail. If they ask what it is, just say it's 'a car decoration'. There is no requirement to explain in intricate detail that the owner of the truck has a ballsack hanging from his truck, that it is integral to human reproduction and the owner of said psudo cahonies is probably a twat.

But whatever, you must be explicit with your four year old, right?

Wow... all those times I've tried not explaining things in detail to my son and he just asks more and more questions even while I ask him to stop asking... that should all cease now that you've stepped in, right?

Thank you, gentle stranger.

Good to see the do gooders are saving us from ourselves again.
MN has an equally as ridiculous law being considered. No glass bottles or glasses on beaches, boats, or other watercraft.

No glass bottles is enforced on lots of beaches. Most beach goers don't like steeping on broken beer bottles.

This violates the 1st amendment in my opinion. Perhaps we should also ban all of those Christian fish symbols, the darwin symbols, any other religious symbols stuck to or hanging from vehicles as well. Also ban all symbols on clothing we wear in public while we're at it.

The 1st amendment is not carte blanche to do or say whatever the hell you please in public. You don't live on a deserted island. You don't get to just do whatever you want with no consequences. It's called a society. Some people know that just because yes you can do something doesn't mean you should. Most people don't.

Trucknuts do not represent freedom of expression.


I hope it passes.

No, these things play a necessary evolutionary purpose. They scream "Flawed DNA, select a different mate". Banning them simply masks the problem.

:laugh:

Though sarcastic, you do have a point. Generally stupid crap goes away if it's only looked down on and ignored (though not only if it's just ignored), it's when it's looked down on and banned that it takes root because then you're sticking it to the man etc etc.

The fact that they are wasting time with this is sad.

Damn it... I've figured it out now:

A while back, license driver renewal was $20.. I recieved my notice the other day for my upcoming renewal. It is now $30. This is where the extra $10 is going.. to fund the time wasted to pass stupid laws like this.

I've only lived in Maryland since 1999. During this short time, I've noticed:

License Plate registration almost doubled
License renewal up $10
County tax rate increase slightly..
Housing on the rise.. even up in rural counties, such as where I live..

Roads deteriorating year by year, with no new repairs

School system sucks; when it gets hot, they have to let the kids out of school, since alot of the schools don't have air conditioning.. or the air conditioning has failed..
Schools were not built to accomodate for increased student levels.. Now they just waste time and $$ on those stupid portable buildings.. Stop wasting time and $$ and just build a bigger fvcking school.

So.. where the fvck are Maryland taxpayer's dollars going?

Pockets of the people the voted into office

Yep like the one that brought this junk up. LeRoy E. Myers Junior, a Republican
