One of the Stupidest things I have ever seen.

CriscoKidd · 10-17-2000, 09:31 AM

Okay, as some of you already know, I live in the Valley, a community of about 15-20 cities right next to the Texas/Mexico border. The population is at least 60% hispanic, 35% white, and 5% black.

So what do I see this morning after dropping off my wife to her job? An old red and blue pick-up, with a huge Confederate flag painted on its back and the word "REBEL" in the middle, and several Conf. flag bumper-stickers littering the truck which had the phrase "the South was right" on them.

The ignorance and offensiveness of some people are astounding.

Yes, people are very stupid. I have seen similar things around.

Just remember that guy probably has the education of a small rodent.

How far are you from Kingsville?

I hear you. I was driving down the I45 from the airport on Saturday and I drive past a guy in a pickup with two signs on his back window. One said "Death to Islam" and the other said "Bring on your holy war"

"Death to Islam"??? "Bring on your Holy War"???? I would love to drop this guy off in the middle of some rubber bullets, rocks and live ammo in the "holy land." That dude wouldn't last a second. I can just see him crying. "They shot my dip can!"

The Titan's fan, with the red spikey hair, and the contraption roasting a jaguar over his head. Yes. That's the weirdest thing you have ever seen!

"death to islam" "Bring on your Holy War"
that is the atmosphere her in the jewish comumnity.
rockhead-Not ALL of israel is filled with this violence so he would last here as long as he won't go to rammalla or some place like that, after talking with some not israeli freinds on the net i understand that everybody think that all of israel is filled with violence but most of us continue with the normal life.
I think that it's funny that a small country with only 6 million pepole living in it is centering most of the world attension

Notice one recurring theme when it comes to confederate flags and bumper stickers......pick-up trucks. They should put all of these losers on the Jerry Springer show and let the crowd open fire!

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.

Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!

I don't think owning a pick-up truck necessarily makes a person a bohunk racist. I've owned pick-up trucks in the past and probably will in the future (I've never put a Confederate Flag on my vehicle, and I never will). It's a very functional vehicle.

Jokes often go over my head, though. That's why the smiley is oh so important in conversations I am involved in.

I've seen a couple of dumb asses in Clear Lake with confederate flags as their license plate. "Death to Islam"? The ignorance of some people is just astounding...

How about, "Death to fake-@$$ Muslims who do not follow the teachings of the Koran and go around shooting people and setting off bombs!"?

Hydra I'm a Muslim and for a sec I was offended by your comment. But then again what u are saying is true. These so called Muslims who are setting off bombs on the border of India & Kashmir, in Africa, Middle East, etc. are full of sh!t and complete hypocrites. "Islam" stands for peace, and no where in the Koran does it say its okay to kill anyone in the name of religion. Terrorists like Osama bin Laden and a few other militant groups do nothing for Islam except give it a bad name.
