Thread: taking a stand...

Not really constructive to the topic but I'm finding it interesting that the majority of the moral outrage is centred around sexist comments.

I've seen one van that said "It's better to be black than gay because you don't have to tell your parents".

Black people, the same sex attracted, is that beyond the radar of the white cisgender male's moral outrage? "Just having a laugh mate"

No but they are forcing vulgar and offensive garbage.
You know- kids look at cars and anything else on the road or street.
It isn't advertising, it isn't a logo, it's not funny even.
It is immaturity at its best sprouting diatribe "because we can"
As said before, there are plenty of vans with out the vulgarity.
Why do kids have to be exposed to this just by the fact there parents have the unfortunate timing to drive on any road?

Disrespect with a defense of free speech made by those with neither understanding or capability of respecting themselves or others.
The very concept of respect is lost on many.

and yet, its not illegal.
and if it is, the authorites dont care.


all this moral outrage. better wrap the kids in more cotton wool.

Eevo. Some of the graphics in question depict sexual acts. If I was to show such images to my kids, I would be committing a criminal act. Why should Wicked and or their customers, be allowed to do it.
While you're at it could you also tell us if there is a line which, in your opinion, should not be crossed?

i cant comment on the graphics as i dont recall seeing any inappropriate ones.
im not saying they are not out there.

im not sure if there is a line or if it can be defined.
as the old saying goes, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.

they are just words. getting upset or outraged at them is pretty thin skinned imho.

No way.
That rhyme is completely false and should be rejected. It represents wishful thinking rather than reality.

You can harm someone for life with words, you can cut a man down, you can warp peoples' development with words.

Words matter.

Some of the things my mother said to me and my sister and told me and my sis, when we were kids, still haunt me to this day. Nasty woman my mother😈. Glad shes gone😠.
Yes words can hurt you and affect you for the rest of ur life.
