    Those were not fancy words. Nor was there any fancy grammar.

    I am not a smart person either.

    If truth was spoken then yes you should have stepped out of your truck and ripped the kunt out of that whore and suffocated her with is just like she is doing to her baby.

    That I can agree on.

    A rant based solely on a baby on board sign is lame.

    i think its very childish to hate the baby on board signs ... It’s just a caution sign for all the dumasses who drive crazy ... yes some moms might drink, smoke, while they are pregnant or with their babies around, but that’s what 15% or maybe 20% of all moms ??? What about the rest? The rest actually do care.... let me tell you something i lost my 3 year old cousin last week in Chicago because of some stupid driver who came and rear ended them with her and her mom in it... So my friends the "Baby on Board" sign actually translates to” Asshole i know you don’t care about your own life or anyone else’s either, but i have a precious baby on board so for that baby's sake drive carefully" that’s all !!! Now what’s so wrong about that? Trust me there are many careless drivers out there who might just stop driving crazy if they see the sign… you just never know … it’s like why the hell do they have the road signs? Caution that’s all

    Very sorry for your loss :(

    I agree that it COULD help...but don't most accidents happen because idiots don't pay attention? I'll bet that if someone isn't paying attention and rear-ends someone, they probably didn't notice the sign in the window either..

    If you think about it, the stickers are actually a safety hazard due to the fact you have to tailgate to be able to read them!

    If you read one of those signs and take offense then it's probably because you some how feel the sign is directed at yourself. Maybe your conscious is trying to tell you something.

    Hot boxing that child... You don't even want to get me started on that subject...

    :confused:It sure isn't directed at the baby. Of course it's directed at me (and all the other vehicles on the road).

    No it does not affect my conscious. I make an effort not to hit every car on the road. Not just the ones with larvae in them.

    Actually as a medic, it's nice to know that there is a potential for a baby in the back of the car if there is an accident. I know to look for a child seat, child and to ask the parents if they had the kid in the vehicle with them incase it got ejected in the accident.

    Which is why I bought this sticker for the Wife's and my vehicle.

    Those signs were a 'fad' a long time ago..... and really annoying.
    http://www.awesome80s.com/Awesome80s/Culture/Fads/Baby_on_Board.asp

    Not long into the fad, some raised concerns about the safety of the signs themselves. In an effort to get the lead-foot behind them to back off, mothers were putting these little signs in areas of the car that obstructed their view thus making it even more likely they'd get into an accident. Legislation was even proposed in a few states regarding the positioning of these signs

    There's one major thing wrong with that sticker.....It implies that your baby is not in a child seat and not wearing a seat belt.

    Atleast, that's what I see ..... (sorry, I can't help but see it that way) Shame on you!! (laugh)

    That's the first legitimate reason I've heard for their existence. Buuutttt, I'd like to think any decent emergency responder would be both visually and vocally investigating for children, ejected occupants, etc. regardless of whether or not there is a sticker in the back window.

    People aren't going to notice the sign in the window if they don't notice the 4000 lbs of metal, glass, and plastic containing the sign.
