Aqua Kitty Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Help me! These are driving me crazy. They're EVERYWHERE, and I can’t believe they’ve even been issued. How can the state get away with this? Separation of church & state my ass. Now these are not the “official†license plate – they’re specialty plates – but there is no additional charge like there is for most of the other specialty plates. I think that’s what irritates me the most about them is that people think they’re getting a specialty plate (being ‘unique’ and all that) and the other specialty plates that you have to make a $40 donation to an specific organization (such as the Dept. of Natural Resources, Riley Children’s Hospital, Breast Cancer research, etc.) are losing some donations that they might have gotten had these plates never been made. I don’t know. Maybe no one would be that dumb as to not donate to their favorite cause/charity just so they can have one of these plates. Anyway, I’m just really sick of seeing them. Thanks for listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstarter Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Wow, those are really horrible. Here in British Columbia we have the scourge of the 2010 Olympics coming. And we are now confronted daily with the new Olympic license plates. I thought those were bad... but yours are worse! Thanks for making me feel better.

GraphicsGuy Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 "In God We Trust" yet they didn't have a damn problem taking the matter into their own hands and rebelling against the Brits for the Revolutionary War... Sorry...I can imagine your frustration. That would annoy me too. I'm starting to be more and more thankful that Canada is pretty liberal and tolerant.

Deva Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Yeah, that's bad, Aqua Kitty. Here in Florida we have to view the yellow "Choose Life" plates depicting children's drawing stick figures of kids. Anti-abortion fundies got enough signatures to push that one through as a "specialty plate". Well, at least we can identify the fundies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbobrob Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Ha,ha,ha, Jedi Tree Rats....May the Nuts be with you. I liken the license plate thing to the sports team license plates we have here in Mass. You can't drive down the street without seeing Patriots plates, or Red Sox plates. (and to a much lesser extent, Bruins plates). Let them root for their team, and at least we'll know the ones most likely to think they are being Raptured, and steer away from them.

Aqua Kitty Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 They could at least make it a something cool, like... LMAO!! Great idea - Jedi specialty plates! Then Flying Spaghetti Monster plates can't be far away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandora Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm a fellow Hoosier that would like to see those plates burned in a bonfire too. Ugh. I hate them... and my instinct now is to look at the driver of the car to see who they are and what they are like. They're so common now though that that isn't even fun. (nearly) EVERYONE has them because they are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhia Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Truth be told speaking of the plates in Mass, I think if I was going to keep my residency in Mass after I graduate (woo-hoo! Only a week to go!) I would probably get a Red Sox plate; even if it was only to get it and then come back down to Philly and see how many people flip me off. The IGWT plate? Sick. I forsee an increase in plate destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWIM Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah, that's bad, Aqua Kitty.

Well, at least we can identify the fundies Fellow floridian here, yeah I see those damned plates everywhere too, they are ussually together with that damned "fish" or some corny bumper sticker. LOL It does help to identify them. Aqua Kitty, sorry to see this sort of nonsense has spread that far north, they ussually reserve that sort of stupidity for us "lucky" ones in the deep south buybull belt...
