Anti Magnets..

you know those stupid magnets that are on peoples cars..i always wondered what they were, and why they were there, and i found out..it was pretty stupid, but what this person has to say about it is soo much funny

hilarious stuff

Why are you doing this? We believe that there is strong possibility that the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan might be a little far away or maybe even a little too busy to be checking out the pseudopatriotic magnet on the back of a 1986 Geo Metro as it drives down I-95 or sits in an Olive Garden parking lot. Why do you hate America? We don't hate America, we hate that people think slapping a stupid magnet on the back of their car has meaning. Mostly everyone in this country supports the troops and hopes they will return safely. Maybe you should be telling them directly in person, on the phone or in a letter and not driving around with a big magnetic banner you probably got at Wal*Mart that simply attempts to prove to everybody but the troops that you support the troops more than everybody else. Hey, what about the pink breast cancer ribbon, though? What are you PRO-CANCER or something you black-hearted JERK? Oh, we're sure they're useful. For example, say you're stuck in traffic on the Williamsburg bridge in your 2003 Chevy Suburban, and another guy, who is a breast cancer researcher, is stuck behind you talking to his wife on his cell phone. He tells her that he has just dropped the kids off at violin practice, he took the garbage out before he left -- he even unplugged the coffee maker, but he just can't shake this strange nagging feeling that he has forgotten to do something. Just as those words come out of his mouth, he glances up and sees your pink magnetic breast cancer ribbon that has "Find a Cure" written across it, at which point he comically slaps his forehead and exclaims: "Ohhhhhh YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I FORGOT TO DO!!! YOU KNOW,CURE CANCER! HAHA, I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT." Hey, I'm the Chinese guy selling this magnet crap -- WHAT ABOUT ME, DAMN YOU!? Sorry Chinese guy, it's nothing personal. China's still cool. Okay, how about some discount herbal v1agra? LA LA LA -- I can't hear you Chinese Guy. Why do the bottom two bumper stickers cost more? Not only do we provide you the materials to propagate your own backlash against our backlash, we provide you the materials to propagate your own backlash against our backlash against our backlash -- AND YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT PRICE?

Edited out the Swearing. Please make sure that you edit such swearing out in the furture.

personally i'm quite upset about the anitmagnet movement.

it's not to show troops 1000's of miles away your support, it's to show support to the troops and their families right HERE in our own backyard. my husband, is a vet, may be called up anytime to be sent and if on a really bad day i'm at the grocery store parking lot crying because i ahve to wrestle three kids into my car by myself because my husband is in iraq i'd like to know who supports my husband, and who realizes that troops are more than a number.

and altho i don't like my brother very much he is on stand-by, ready to go any minute. i'm sure my mother finds it comforting to know who else out there has children stationed far away (he is in guam right now, so not a war zone but he can't even come home to visit.)

supporting breast cancer research, i'm sure that the money from the sale of those silly magnets, at least some of it, goes toc ancer research. so instead of donating anonymously and going about their way they place a magnet on their car. good for them, i'm sure breast cancer survivors are HAPPY to see who else out there wants to stop what they have fought. and those who have it feel comforted knowing others are helping to get rid of what may claim their life. and for those of us who are at risk for breast cancer, we want those donations and really don't care one whit who wants to show off that they donated. money is money and will go to the research whether they got a magnet or not.

all done now. my opinion has been stated.

Thank you Spirits, you've inspired me to finally get off my duff and get a yellow ribbon.

I can never support or condon war in any way shape or form.

It's not about war, it's about supporting the troops.

supporting the poor saps sent to fight the war is in no way supporting the war. in the US and i'm almost positive every other country with a standing army the serviceman has no choice but to go and do what he has been told to do. going AWOL is mostly considered and act of treason, so really, NO CHOICE. our cute little magnets don't say "make war" they say things along the lines of "support our troops" or "bring my son home safely."
