What is wrong with people?!?!?

Is it just me, or does everyone with the little yellow ribbon sticker on their car drive like a dumbass? Everyone around here has the stupid "Support Our Troops" sticker, and none of them can drive properly. They either go too damn slow or weave or cut people off all the time. And I don't care about you people that say "oh I have that sticker and I can drive fine", because you can't. And don't support our troops because they have no reason to be over there anyway. Please just remove the sticker and drive like a normal person.

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

I have that sticker and i can drive fine.

AND shut the fuck up; Just becasue the U.S. has no business in iraq doesnt mean we shouldn't support our troops. Now, go get a girlfriend and a life, cause you're obviously digging at the bottom of the barrel for something to bitch about.

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

actually, he has a point, I have no problem supporting our troops, but every car with those stickers on their cars do drive like an ass, no offense, but they do. I've seen them drive in and out faster than some mustangs and camaros! It's insane. They drive worse than I do! And I drive like a bat out of hell!

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

its the whole "every mustang driver sucks!" or "every civic driver sucks" mentality. You only noticed their bad driving because you associated the yellow bow with bad driving.

You may not like them over, but dont be a dickhead and say dont support your friends and family members. Dont tell us to tell friends and family we dont give a fuck about them. This is the lamest excuse for a thread, not everyone that has a yellow sticker on their car drives bad and its ignorant to think so. i do not agree with them being over there either, but i still support them

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

No, I've seen some bad driving in my day, and believe me, I've even seen better CAB drivers than some of these people. But there again, I've seen some Old Grannys drive Camaros like they had nothin left to live for, literally!

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

Around here about 75% of cars and trucks have those so I can say that some people that have them suck at driving but most drive just fine in my opinion. Also why would you not want to support our troops over there?!?!

I don't support them. You can if you want, but if you really want to support them, bring them home. They have no business over there in Iraq, except kill people. You know, with as many suicide bombers as they have, we should just clear out and let them kill each other off. We serve no purpose in Iraq.

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

You're right we should get out of there, BUT to not support the soldiers is wrong, especially if you're in the US.

If there's someone you'd not like to support, it should be the politicians that sent the soldiers there, NOT the hardworking people that are risking their lives for your ungrateful behind.

Put blame where blame is due. I have to blame you killswitch, for not thinking this through before you commented.

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

Steeel's right, you can single out ANY group and say they suck driving. Hummers, minivans, delivery trucks, Camaros, or whatever. If enough of them drive like idiots, you'll be bitching about that category.

To make this a positive post, use the bad drivers around you to increase your awareness of what is around you and therefore your skill.

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

this is stupid, like it's said above, when you see someone driving like shit you try to associate them with something, categorizing them. In your case, yellow ribbons if you notice it. In others, asian people driving it. When a white person with no ribbon drives bad, you don't think twice, but if it's something not normal, you immediately associate bad driving with it

Re: What is wrong with people?!?!?

I think killswitch is an ignorant fool.

What if one of your family members was over in iraq fighting for YOUR country. You wouldnt be sayin shit about not supporting them. I totally agree with Fred, you should support the troops, not the people who sent them there.
