True. Stupid is also a self-correcting problem. [JRope][JRope]
Okay I am home at a computer now not my phone so i can explain this a little better. So i went and saw a movie and wanted to get a drink, so i headed to the sation and some punk a$$ kid and his friends cut me off then began to tell me how to drive when they drove by. So i was already pissed. I pull up to get my drink walk in buy and as i head out my GF and I see this tailgate I told her how pisssed that made me so I said i am going to say something. I waited till he came out. When he did i asked if that was his truck he said yes. So i asked do you really believe that he said absolutly so i said why dont you act like an American. Oh i DO. i said no not with that crap. I told him i bet you voted for Obama he said yeah you got a problem with that. Yes I do. Then he called me some stuff so i said piss off and think about famlies who lost loved one on 9/11. And Then I drove off.
Man I feel better

Good thing things didn't escalate. I tend to just go on about my own these days as I prefer to be left alone and I know how fast things can go to the next level over petty shit.

Not in this society. There are so many government programs that reward stupid it's getting institutionalized.
What was the movie about that? Idiocracy?
I just shake my head when I see stuff like that on peoples cars.
Stupid will be permanent until stupidity stops receiving awards.
I'm not trying to troll you, but picking fights in public is not smart, especially if you're carrying concealed.
That said, I have been fortunate in my life to have never been witness to an American flag being burned in protest. That is something I do not think I can abide.
this reminds me ... when I was a kid my Dad and I were in DC sightseeing, and some protesters were outside the supreme court showing their displeasure with the death penalty. As we passed by a scruffy hippie type asked my Dad what he thought of the death penalty. Dad said if someone is found guilty of murder, fry him. The hippie's face contorted and he said "You know you're going to burn in hell, right?" Dad just shrugged and replied "You asked" and we kept walking to the capitol.
see what I did there with the elipsis?

+1 please, when carrying a concealed firearm, please, take the high road and avoid confrontation with someone who's obviously a future candidate for the puzzle farm.

Just try to remember to be thankful that we live in a country where this idiot CAN put those kinds of stickers on his car. You may not agree with him, but he has the right to say what he wants.
You couldn't get away with that in China.

If you left him a note instead of the verbal confrontation I'm thinking he wouldn't be able to decipher what the hell your point was anyway. My head hurts after reading your post.
Sorry but I had to give you shit about it. Maybe when you posted this you were still heated and your fingers and brain weren't interacting well together?

yeah I never tend to say anything either myself as I wouldn't want it to escalate. I know a few words from a random person are not going to change them, their way or thinking, or make them believe anything I have to say. I have no problem giving people the bird though while staring right at them. no words, just a simple finger and move on.
that usually gets people pissed, makes them wonder why they were flipped off and ruins their day[Tooth]
This is a free country from government prevention of free speech, as it should be, but there is no reason that people can not verbalize their distaste with each other from civilian to civilian. Social pressure is much more effective than any law ever could be.

Agreed, but in today's society there is no guarantee, that a little social pressure wont blow up into some sort of physical ordeal or worse. Fortunately in this case it didn't.

Yes... ... ... ... lol [Beer]

Don't transfer emotion.
Just keep repeating to yourself: An armed society is a polite society.

Eventually, but (sadly) the rest of us have to put up with them in the mean time. Ugh!

I've got a dear friend (and co-worker) who had to surrender her CCW permit this Spring and is going to court soon over multiple felony counts for something that didn't happen at all like the case against her implies - all at a gas station. The "victim" at the time was the husband of a supposedly) off-duty female officer - afterwards, in the police report, it was the father of this woman (the father was never seen at the scene by the suspect (my friend). The whole deal is fishy but my friend is facing some serious stuff (10+ years in prison) because the official victim" is an "at risk adult".
Things can excalate very quickly - even AFTER you've left the story can change enough to get you landed in jail.
