Yet another license plate story…
by Travis on Jul.24, 2008, under Rants
This rant is based on yet another “offensive license plate” story found out on CNN.
VIDEO: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/07/24/duncan.offensive.tag.KTHV?iref=videosearch
Apparently this particular video was about a lady in Arkansas who declined to take delivery of a license plate, 018 NGR, because of the letters NGR at the end of it. Keep in mind this was a white woman too who didn’t want to ride around with a tag on her car that others might find ‘ offensive ‘… Keep in mind, most responses by other interviewees was ‘ it’s just a license plate ‘ and found no offense by it. This reinforces the whole ‘ if you’re looking for trouble, you’ll find it ‘ theory. STOP LOOKING FOR IT!
What is wrong with this country? Has society really come to this point where they have to find something to complain about all the time? Where every little thing is found offensive or not politically correct or otherwise oppressing and everyone has to stand in line to whine or protest about it? WAAAAA you big babies. GROW UP AND STOP COMPLAINING FOR TWO SECONDS, TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND REALIZE YOU MIGHT BE PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORLD TODAY AND NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION!
Instead of marching in your protests or sitting around finding something to cry about like why you’re one of the 60% of Americans who are overweight and you’re a victim of your own children who dislike you or don’t respect you and you’re broke, why don’t you do something constructive? Spend time with your families, stop eating fast food, exercise, discipline your kids when they are getting out of control, work thankfully and well at your job, pay your mortgage instead of buying that big screen tv, stop cruising in your gas guzzling SUVs just to show off your status symbol and for the love, stop butting into the business of others because you just need to hear yourself talk!
Seriously people. Start realizing that most of the problems start and stop with the individual and we’re going to continue this downward spiral until we hit the bottom if we don’t change. Of course, what will people do when they hit the bottom? Complain some more, naturally. *rolls eyes*

NGR Please! Why are people so *** damn sensitive anymore? Life sucks people…unless you actually do something about it. And that does not mean marching in protest because Myke Reinhold beat a baby seal with a baseball bat. I mean standing up and doing something about your own life. Get a job…a carreer and enjoy life before you end up in diapers crapping yourself while watching I Love Lucy reruns. AGH!

Dear God,
Can we please have a reset of this world. Maybe pick us up and shake us a little bit like an Etch-A-Sketch. Do something please. If this world was a computer, I would hack in and reboot it myself. Seriously, I think we have Blue Screened as humans.

LOL! Myke you have a strange but interesting mind.
People who go around walking on eggshells cause they don’t want to “offend” anyone need to rethink things. No matter what you do, how you act or say, you will offend someone. Everyone is so oversensitive about the dumbest things these days it’s pathetic. There are too many extremes of both sides to make everyone happy. There is no way to make everyone happy anymore, I agree with Myke, the world needs to be shaken up like an Etch-A-Sketch, the reset button needs to be hit.

Thanks for a great blog post. I said almost the exact same thing (with a bit more of an attitude) on my own blog.
Thanks for making me feel like I’m not the only one.
