Dumbest bumper sticker: "The Power of Pride"

[bif]

Huh? What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?

1. Must run on hot air

[Aristus]

I agree. I always thought that was a pretty stupid sentiment.

:argh:

2. It is an open invitation

to print up a bunch of smaller stickers to replace the word "power" with "sin." ;-)

3. I was given one of those stickers once when I gassed up at

Mobil. I had no idea what it meant, and I tossed it.

And I no longer buy gas at Mobil.

4. I had one of those stickers.

They were giving them away at Lowe's not long after 9/11.

5. What does that mean? Isn't pride a sin?2?

:wtf:

7. Christians once considered it the deadliest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

It was the root of all sins. It made people think they were better than others, which caused all wars, all wicked desires, all crimes.

I don't know when it became a virtue. Has something to do with capitalism, I believe. Capitalists tried to link work productivity to religious virtue by claiming workers should have pride in their work. 16th, 17th century, I would guess.

Now it's just a way to tout one's own arrogance. It's a more polite way to utter the famous "Risky Business" dictum--sometimes you just gotta say, 'What the fuck?'

6. You got something against Pride?

8. What color was it?

If it was rainbow it may have been LGBT pride.

If it was two colors it may have been for a college or high school sports team that uses those colors.

9. Red, white & blue

With an American flag on it.
