WHat i would like to know is how your car accumulated that much rust being as far south as you are. Im about 100 miles north of the great lakes and they dump tens of thousands of tons of salt in winter here. While we have a few rust buckets up here i would not expect to see that so far south. I have been across the states and the rust on my vehicle has turned many a head when i go south.

You were fired because the lack of care for your automobile and poor choice of decals. How you present yourself projects an image to others as to what your lifestyle is, this includes your car. If i were to just look at your car and not meet you i would assume the worst. Your back seat has a bunch of junk in it, the seats are stained, the car is pretty rusty and you can tell its hardly been washed, many of your stickers are faded and adds tot he ugliness factor, and while im all for free speech and while i think bumper stickers are ok, too many of them just scream weirdo. I would have instantly have thought by just the look of your car that it might be from a trailer park or a ghetto.

Not saying its bad to be from those kinds of places but consider this, people who bring their kids to daycare pay a lot of money to do so and are usually inthe upper middle class range. These people, especially the women, are very snobby. They only usually associate with those from their social class, their suburban neighborhoods, or their places of employment. Alot of daycares kjnow this and they will do anything to keep their clients. Ask any upper middle class folk who bring their kids in to that daycare what they think of your car and instantly they would question the daycare as to what kind of people they hire. This is all without having met you but just seen your car. You are judged on more than just on how you act or dress. Instantly someone would think that a poor, gay, pro pedophile person that has anti establishment ideas will be spending all day with their child. This would scare most suburbanites to death.

Society is teaching people to be afraid of the wind.

I do not believe its a conspiracy against you, simply arrogant people who couldn't understand your political joke. So they just took your child rapping bumpersticker a bit to seriously. In addition what is your sexual orientation anyway?

I'm kinda amazed in this thread the amount of people implying that they know it is a joke, but they still would not send their kids to the day care...Pure hypocrisy of the highest order that.

It comes coupled with that time honoured phrase '...as a parent.'

As a parent what?

As a parent you lose your sense of humour? As a parent you distrust anyone who appears to not be part of the status quo?

It drives me nuts...

The amount of people who say to me that they can't believe I'm a teacher based on how I dress out of work, the music I listen to and the clubs I go to amazes me, and it's usually followed by '...I don't think i'd be happy if you were teaching my kids...'

What the hell do they know? They have these fancy notions of knowing best when more than often they not NOT know best. The THINK they know best, but all they really know is that they want to be seen to be doing what they percieve is the right thing for their kids.

I would be happy for a child of mine to go to day care where someone has that bumper sticker on. It shows they are human. It shows they have a sense of humour. It shows they are not part of the damned machine that we all claim to hate so much on here.

Judging by this thread we are not as against the system as we thought and I am bittery bitterly disappointed.

If some of you spent one day with me at work you probably have a heart attack because of some of the jokes we tell one another.

I'm saddened by some of the attitudes and double standards by people here.

I once wore the T Shirt Hell 'School Shootings Tour' T shirt for a work night out. No-one was offended! We have brains, we understand humour.

Rant over.
