Parked by a Hummer today with this phrase keyed on the door:
SUV = WWIII

Also had a line keyed down the side that looked like it had been done with a nine-penny nail.

The H2 was black, so this stood out like a sore thumb.

I live in Houston. I'm amazed that we have some revolutionaries (can I say Jacobins without offending anyone?) making their presence felt.

4. cannot agree with keying
while I can appreciate the message, keying is cowardly and criminal.

28. you are so right....
that's why when there's a tie at a parking space (two people vying for the same space) I always defer to the other car...


I don't want some clown keying my car because I took their parking space.....


One time this older woman took "my" space and laughed about it... I'll bet her idiocy came back to bite her in the ass....

20. Keying is not right, but I would love to see a bumpersticker that said
"I suck on the tit of Sadi Arabia"

6. BWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And before any of you mamby-pamby anti-vandalizing holier-than-thous flame me for laughing my ass off, let me say that I don't agree with vandalism at all, either, and never condone it being done.

But that doesn't keep me from appreciating the beauty of this bit of vandalism.

So :P - you can be against something, and still find it funny. If your mind is open enough.

7. Too bad Bush supporters don't understand basic math
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 07:04 PM by Ezlivin
The owner was probably flummoxed at the equals sign.

Quick: What's the reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties of equality?

:)

School daze. eh?

{On edit: I was flummoxed at the spelling of flummoxed.}

11. here goes:
a=a (not sure if this is the reflexive property or not...)

if a=b then b=a

if a=b and b=c then a=c

12. fly with the crows, get shot with the crows
SUV's are only needed in the sort of terrain I live in - the boondocks. Otherwise, they are the ultimate accessory for people who don't give a shit about burning waaay more fuel than is necessary. Difficult issue this but I can't feel sorry for the person whose humungo wagon got scratched.

14. keying is good for economy
Hey, lots of auto-body repairmen need some work in this lousy economy. Just make sure you over-charge him like it was a Haliburton job in Iraq.

16. Hey, the Hummer is a tough-ass, off-road, takes a lickin' and keeps
on tickin' vehicle, ain't it?

Seems that a little scratch on the side would be a badge of honor for such a hard-ass vehicle. Right?

17. Love the sentiment...hate the method....
Vandalizing someone else's property is NOT cool...

Whould it be funny if someone keyed "Liberals=Wimps" into the paintjob of a hybrid?

I think not.

19. Only difference being
is that Liberals aren't Wimps, but SUVs do = WWIII.

But destroying property is wrong.

On the other hand, so is bombing Iraqi children.

:sigh:

for about 1 second, then laughed my ass off about the rest of the day.

The message was powerful, imho.

21. (arms out, eyes rolled back in skull) Destroying...property...is...wrong
Hummers are irrefutably harmful to the environment and dangerous to other motorists. So where does this automatic deference to the sacrosanctity of material possessions end? If you lived before the advent of animal cruelty laws and some sadistic neighbor got his jollies launching bunny rabbits into cliffs with a catapult, would you argue against someone sabotaging said catapult? Would you feel guilty about squirting ketchup in Hitler's shoe? Where's the line?

22. When an Escalade pulls in so close to your car that the mirrors overlap
is a bad thing to walk to your car door through their side mirror, making it turn on its mounting (it's designed to do that) rather than doing a funky limbo routine?

I mean, there was no damage done, other than them having to reposition the mirror, in approximately zero degrees weather. The only contact between me, my car and their boat was a surprizingly mild tap on my shoulder. I feel mildly guilty, but if you are going to drive a vehicle that doesn't fit into a parking space, park it out in the back 40 with the other big rigs...

27. if i ever caught someone "keying" ANY car or truck(not just mine)...
let's just say it would probably be the last time they considered engaging in such a chicken-shit act.

fucking cowards make me sick.

30. Keying someones paint is what I would expect from a R winger.
That's why I won't put any kind of bumper sticker on my car. It's a stupid and chicken shit act. And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

If you feel that strongly about the issue, have the guts to tell the owner to their face.

Someone who keys another man's vehicle should be shot. How would you like it if a neocon thug keyed "BUSH 4EVA" or something retarded into your Prius? You just don't do that to another man's car, period.

35. They should be f***ing killed.
No trial, no jury, straight to execution. </pulp fiction>

I think keying someone's car is pretty stupid, and it's something I'd expect from right-wingers and immature junior high kids, but I'd stop short of advocating shooting them. :)
