Your general opinion on car decals/liveries with profanity, literal or implied?

[oj88]

In one of our family drives, my 8 year-old daughter suddenly muttered a bad word. It took me and my wife by surprise so we asked her where she learned it from. She casually pointed at the car in front of us. The subject decal is a black font on yellow background that read "T*#g1n*m0" (except that it wasn't as cryptic), affixed to the rear windshield. And in case that wasn't enough, the same car had a middle finger decal on the bumper as well.

It's technically not against the law (freedom of speech and all), but, come on! Don't these people care about common decency? Or is that also going the way of common sense.... which is, also going out the door?

no, they don't.
reminds me of our HS classmate. ever a profane word, each and every time he says something. except when reciting in the classroom.

theyre just begging to have their rides posted on soc med. why not indulge them? isnt there even a sense of duty to do it?

I'm not about to go down the path and call them out for this. Again, they have that freedom. I'm just after everyone's opinion whether or not this kind of behavior is acceptable.

Then again, freedom has consequences.

Anyway, I have made my opinion and position known. Baka kasi ako lang... being in parent mode and whatnot.

buti pa ikaw, na realized mo yun freedom nila; pero sila di nila naisip yun

Kating-kati na ako i-bash, hehe. Pero hanggang kaya, one must take the high road.

It's my hope that the resulting consensus from this poll might discourage other car owners from doing the same. They may think that it's all just done in jest, but IMO, they're really offensive.

IMHO freedom has its limits. If the profanity was written and limited to the boundaries of his property I wouldn't have a problem with it. But to see that sort of thing in public... I'd do something about it.

You're absolutely in the right to be upset. To me that's about the equivalent of having people running around naked in public.

Did you catch his plates by any chance?

I'm not sure. I have to check the dashcam. It happened during the weekend so it may have already been recorded over.

coz there are people in society who think it's cool to violate common decency

Exactly. Decency (or the lack of it) is not thoroughly mandated by law and is part and parcel of the freedoms we enjoy. But as a citizen, we have to call out unacceptable norms so that we don't devolve into a crass uncultured society. For me it's ok to post on socmed (blur plate number) and ask with a tagline "Ok lang ba ito?" or something to the effect saying that young kids also see this in public. No need for inflammatory or castigating remarks. Hopefully, people doing this or are about to do this get the idea.

What's the point? Kung yun Presidente ganun din eh. Citizens can't be decent kung walang hiya yun leader.

I'm sorry sir. But I strongly disagree with your statement.

The difference is, your typical 8-year-old doesn't watch nor care about the news.

I also think that the "monkey see monkey do" rationale is absolutely wrong, especially if we sincerely consider ourselves civilized adults. Kids, on the other hand, I believe, should be spared from such display until they get a better understanding of how the world operates.

i agree but why blur the plate? in forums like this, i believe there is still a higher level of anonynimity compared to fb and other socmed platforms. those people who put those decals are sobrang kapal ng mukha kaya they can flaunt their stupidity at hindi papansinin kung blurred pa yung plate.

[shadow]

Doesn't bother me. It's their life and besides kung yun presidente eh Bastos din eh sa live TV pa

So what do you expert from the citizens kung kung leader ganun din.

If we gonna call him out dapat mas muna I call yun presidente. So it's useless.
