Inspired by Wilgrove's thread, I want you to react to THESE bumper stickers, as in what is the first thing you think. Don't censor for political correctness or anything else:

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride"

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"

A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride"

A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride"

A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride"

A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride"

I'm unoffended by all of them.

My response to one and all of those:

*shrug*

For some reason the only one that gets any real response from me is "Gay Pride". The response though is that I really feel like partying when I see it. Interesting.

I demand "White Pride" bumper sticker. For normal people.

Meh


A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"


Stupid name


A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride"


meh


A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride"


Thats a new one


A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride"


Good luck with that cause chum :rolleyes:


A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride"


Again, seems like a pointless cause, but meh anyway.

Eh, it's a bloody bumper sticker. If you need to express your feelings about something that badly, go to a message board or something.

Conversely, if you're offended by a bumper sticker, get a life.

"THe hell? since when did I drive? Hmm...gay guy...Isn't that a bit long and unweildy for a bumper sticker?...Muslim...What's to be proud of inactivity?...Wiccans drive?...Isn't driving a sin for them?

I think they are all stupid. You have one involving pride in your chance (Gay), and the rest in your choices. None are really accomplishments. All are quite stupid. If you save someone's life, then MAYBE. What I don't get is why any religious person would want to broadcast a transgression of one of the seven deadly sins...

I'm not offended by any of them, but I am put off by things ending in "Pride". Maybe it just seems attention-whorish, I dunno.

I don't know. I think it's probably the best sounding word.

As for the Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride sticker, I really couldn't think of a better way to put it.

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride": rainbow

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride": people are proud of having abortions?

A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride": boring

A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride": what? we have group identity now?

A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride": silly

A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride": boring

1) awesome
2) ...surely safe sex is more fun:confused:
3) you go girl
4) more than likely Richard Dawkins penis
5) grow up
6) dusty old catholic who doesn't put out

1) awesome

Is it just me, or did half of those involve sex?

I mirror this!

If I saw any of those I'd think: "Oh dear God, another fucking asshole covering the back end of his car with political statements. I hope he drives off a cliff and dies in a fiery inferno, preferably soon."

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"
This one bugs me.

This one bugs me.

In what way? Are you offended that they are proud, rather then simply offering solidarity to other woman who have had abortions, or are you a pro-lifer?

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride": No real reaction, I am exposed to LGBT groups at uni rather much.

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride": I smirked thinking back of a newspaper feature showed a hhhuge number of women who had an abortion and campaigned for it to be legal

A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride": I'd remember to work on my Turkish

A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride": Yeah! We are proud not to believe in higher powers!

A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride": Something as Wiccans? here?

A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride": I'd rofl, I guess. Catholics in my town are hardly a persecuted minority.

I'm unoffended by all of them.

1. Not bothered.
2. Somewhat annoyed since it's so controversial and they're flaunting their view, almost as though bragging.
3. Not bothered.
4. Very annoyed; most atheists I know are intolerant scum who think that even the most easily refuted objection to the existence of God is proof enough. I'm sorry, it's not. (For the record, I'm an agnostic tending towards atheist at times.)
5. Vaguely annoyed; I've had bad experiences with so-called Wiccans too.
6. Not bothered.

I demand a personality test based on these! :D

That they are proud. I'm mean, it would be like being proud of sideswiping a school bus while driving to the hospital.

Is it just me, or did half of those involve sex?

"if this vans rocking don't come knocking" I rest my case :)

If I saw any of those I'd think: "Oh dear God, another fucking asshole covering the back end of his car with political statements. I hope he drives off a cliff and dies in a fiery inferno, preferably soon."

can I get that in bumper sticker?

Abortian pride? Women who had abortians are proud of it? Proud that they wanted to avoid a pregnancy, but didn't want to practice safe sex? The other ones are fine. But abortian pride? Anyone proud of killing off what could have been a person because they didn't practice safe sex can't possibly be one of the saner (or safer) people. Yikes. Plus, you can't abort AIDS or herpes or whathaveyou. I can understand pride in safe sex. Although it doesn't require anywhere near the willpower of absainance, it is still something to ba proud of.

Really only the unavoidable ones kind of irk me, though I still shrug it off.

I mean honestly, what's so pride-deserving about having a high, or conversely low, melanin count?

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride"
good for you.
A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"
That phrase made no sense. *read again* AHH, now it makes more sense.
A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride"
I wonder how long before his car will get vandalized by idiots?
A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride"
Huh?
A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride"
*starts laughing*
A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride"
Bah, bible humpers.

You wanted first thoughts, right?

while this relates more to the other thread, it is important to note, that the specific phrase "white pride" goes beyond simply "oh it's not ok to be proud of being white".

The expression "white pride" has specific historical connotations that suggest something far, FAR more than simply being proud. It is a phrase of subjugation, racism, klan histories, and as such carries a significant amount of baggage. It has a meaning that transcends its literal words.

None of these do.

I'm unoffended by all of them....so "meh" to every one

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride"

"Eh, that's nice."

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"

"...what an odd thing to be proud of. I wonder if there are stickers for other medical procedures, like 'People With No Tonsils Pride' or 'People Who Had a Boil on Their Butt Lanced' Pride?"

A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride"

"Eh, that's nice."

A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride"

"Sheesh, people should really learn to spell before sticking something permanent on their car."

A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride"

"Eh, that's nice."

A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride"

"Eh, that's nice."

Um. Many women who seek abortions were having safe sex. Contraception is not 100% effective.

Contrary to your implications, a woman who has had an abortion does not have anything to be ashamed about.

Given the attitude of people like you that try to make women ashamed of abortions, it actually makes some sense to show Abortion Pride.

I hate bumper stickers. That is my reaction to any bumper stickers I see.

Melanin...that's the stuff that colors your skin and hair, right?

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride"

Is it Pride Weekend?

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"

What a strange thing to be proud of. Probably a bit of disgust.

A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride"

Allah Ackbar! It's a trap!

A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride"

How can you be proud of it if you can't even spell it. Seriously.

A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride"

I can't think of any specific reaction to this one.

A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride"

This one either.

I'm unoffended by all of them.

I'm unoffended, but I always wonder why people have the bumper stickers they do.

gay pride- meh
women...- meh
muslim pride- meh
atheist pride- mehish yea
wiccan pride- meh
catholic Pride- 4HHHHH r0n 40r3 J00 1143

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"

"...what an odd thing to be proud of. I wonder if there are stickers for other medical procedures, like 'People With No Tonsils Pride' or 'People Who Had a Boil on Their Butt Lanced' Pride?"
"Prophylactic Appendectomy Pride, brutha!"
Finally, a bumper sticker I can get behind.

...and again....

Why would anyone depreciate the value of their car and raise the tacky factor by affixing something that will invariably fade and peel?

Go for some permanence -- have a custom airbrush job instead. ;)

I'm really offended by all of them!...because I don't have a car :(

None of them offend me. Not even Catholic Pride.

...a bumper sticker that says Pro-Bush Pride, however...

I'm really offended by all of them!...because I don't have a car :(

For all the bumper stickers, I was sort of Meh... except the "Athiest Pride" one... how can you be proud of soemthign you can't spell? :p

Anyway, I don't have a car either. Though I am about to get my permit :D

None of them offend me. Not even Catholic Pride.

...a bumper sticker that says Pro-Bush Pride, however...

A Pro-Bush or Pro-Kerry Pride sticker is just retarded. Of course, they probably can't get the things off their cars....

What would you do if you saw an "NSG Pride!" bumper sticker?

What would you do if you saw an "NSG Pride!" bumper sticker?
Go stalk down that person and demand his/her nation name. :p

...a bumper sticker that says Pro-Bush Pride, however...

Actually, they might mean something totally different by that.

[/doubleentrende]

A bumper sticker reading "Gay Pride"

Be gay or the terrorists won! Actually, I saw a pack of "Gay bumper stickers" and one of them said, "I can't even drive strait!" and it had rainbows on it and it made me laugh.

A bumper sticker reading "Woman Who Have Had Abortions Pride"

Yeah! You're making America safer one dead baby at a time!

A bumper sticker reading "Muslim Pride"

Woot! I'm not Muslim but I've got plenty of Muslim friends!

A bumper sticker reading "Athiest Pride"

Yeah! Tell that God he doesn't exist! Oh wait, you can't! haha.

A bumper sticker reading "Wiccan Pride"

Yeah... You're cool.

A bumper sticker reading "Catholic Pride"

Stay away from my 6 year old brother and keep being sexist! Yeah!

For all the bumper stickers, I was sort of Meh... except the "Athiest Pride" one... how can you be proud of something you can't spell? :p

It's obvious he was referring to the pride of those who are the most athy (athey?). Duh. :p

...and again....

I'm giving serious consideration to getting one of those metal Darwin Fish plaques for the back of my car.

Melanin...that's the stuff that colors your skin and hair, right?

That's correct. So basically both of those Prides are "Yay skin pigmenting." and "Yay no skin pigmenting."
