1. Hey what's up?

I thought these pugs were terrified of Liberals and Exit Poll workers!

Darn another myth bites the dust.

2. yes...

is the hunting time of year...

You see the ACLU is getting involved...Good for her..I know its bad especially for a women driver...I bet if that old man saw some big Tyrone he would have not said nothing to him...

3. If it actually spelled out the word, that's against the law in

many places and in fact, I would consider it to be in extremely bad taste and not too good for children to see. However, if it merely
was printed "F---, that's different. Then the issue becomes political.

5. Bad taste, but not illegal:

"Colorado ACLU Legal Director Mark Silverstein said that the alleged threat of arrest clearly violates First Amendment protection. "

6. If there are no profanity laws prohibiting the use of the word

you are correct. In many places in the U.S. it's illegal to use that level of profanity in the spoken word, let alone a bumper sticker.

4. Wouldn't happen in Madison - In a red state, probably yes

[unpossibles]

7. yes, because everyone knows a dirty word

is so much more offensive than killing at least as equal number of Iraqi citizens as Hussein, and much worse than training and selling arms to terrorists so they can fight the Soviets, then being surprised when they turn on us.

Shame on that woman's dirty word. :eyes:

8. This is pure crap.

A job for the ACLU.
Sick em!
