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

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?

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

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.

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.

That T*#g1n*m0 if I'm not mistaken, is a "lifestyle" brand so I'm afraid you'll see those even on personal apparel. I cringe whenever I see it.

Even those windshield decals of the pink stick woman with panties down. What's funny is that it's usually low-end cars that sport those stickers... as if their rides are makalaglag panty.
