Gotta have my FSU plate. I'd feel naked without it. Some people buy specialty plates to match their car; I buy cars to match my plates. 
1) This has been the most controversial one by far but the most offensive thing about IMO it is it could be construed as "anti-privacy". I don't think it evokes an emotional reaction like the Confederate flag tends to do.
2) I don't know how this one could be offensive. I am offended by the pretend cops organizations that call and ask me for money all the time.
3)
4) MLK: He did play around on his wife, but otherwise? An inspirational, not offensive, figure.
Maybe I shouldnt have said offensive, just controversial. It could pull up some upsets in some, like for instance the mother that wanted an abortion but when she pulled up to the clinic her boyfriend was gunned down by anti abortion activists....
She could be a big advocate for pro choice and every time she saw this tag makes her remember that horrible day...I thought Nascar and the Rebel flag went hand in hand - dear sweet little baby jesus!!
Some would say that Louis Farrakhan, Jim Jones, Ghandi or The Pope are inspirational but I dont see them on a tag....
IJS...

OMG, :rofl:Maybe if more people had purchased the Family Values plate, then so many people would not have had to buy the Choose Life plate.

tru dat, i know many also...Gotta have my FSU plate. I'd feel naked without it. Some people buy specialty plates to match their car; I buy cars to match my plates.
Actually, the Boys Ranch and the former Bay County boot camp were/are totally unrelated. The Boys Ranch is over in the Big Bend area, somewhere.
And I know several folks - coworkers included - who have the nascar tag. :roll:

#2 was b/c of the whole sherrifs boy ranch death that occured in Bay county. Some people would be upset just by seeing that plate b/c of what happened. I listened to many morning shows out of Bay county, trust me, some people wanted blood.
I get it now ... I thought the ranch was a different program from the boot camp. They look so warm and fuzzy on their website. :shock:

Interesting group there ... I think all the people who found Jim Jones to be inspirational have been dead for 30 years. :roll:
OOPS, my bad......I will take it off....
yes that is true....I was just thinking of inspirational leaders, that is what came to mind.....
I, IBD, came from several backgrounds.
1. Choctaw Indian, 100% full blooded, not too far down the blood line. As I have some Indian blood running through my veins couldnt I say that the American flag offends me b/c it reminds me of the time that my relatives land was taken from them???
2. I have deep Southern roots. I am proud of that. We have records of cane farming and slave trading in my family records. I am proud of my heritage and feel that if I want to display the Confederate flag on my car then I should....
3. I have Northern (Union) roots. My grandfathers family are all from the North. If I wanted to find and attach a Union tag to my car then why should I not be able to???
Can anyone please explain to me why this symbol (Confederate flag) offends people??? Should we start a new thread for this one???
