"I BELIEVE" FL license plate - WTF

OK, this wonderful state of florida I live in has decided to create a license plate with "I BELIEVE" printed on it, and the monies collected will go to, get this, faith based youth groups.......I am getting so fucking angry at this shit. how the hell does that work... oh right Jeb Bush. the rest of you think you got it bad we got 2 of em over us. sounds like church and state are getting along nicely.

and before im attacked, the first thing I did was contact my Rep. and let him know how I feel...a bit more eloquently though...lol

Session :Bills : : flsenate.gov

db:wtf:

Anyone with something like 10,000 signatures on a petition can get their own plate. Find 9,999 others to make a plate saying "I DON'T".

its not so much the plate, as it is, its the state supporting the church that bothers me.

db:smokin:

Yeah- that's NOT cool. Could have expected as much, though, in a state that has a Bush named 'Jeb' at the wheel. I want a vanity plate that says "I BELIEVE" but in reference to the Red Sox not sucking any more. Thought the State and the Church were to stay out of each others' affairs.

HAD a Bush named Jeb. Now we have a guy named Crist.

I *should* be bothered by this plate.. but I'm not. I'm moving out of the militant-atheist phase and into one of amused tolerance. (barely tolerant, but still)

DOH!!! :stoned:my bad (f'n pothead). yeah Jebs gone...lol. yeah I try to stay in the amused tolerance zone(glad to have a name for it now...lol) but this just hit me hard last night. I work in local delivery and with the amount of "jesus fish" we have in the area im sure this will be everywhere.

and stinky,

I'd figured they already had a commemorative plate for each player in Mass. that'd be wicked,eh....lol

db:smokin:

I say wicked like 25 times a day. Anyway you should buy one of these.

HA!!! I know what you mean... just as long as the don't wak me up on saturday mornings... I say fuck'em...

While I hear ya with the church and state thing.
Another great license plate story I always found quite funny was the New Hampshire deal

Prisoners in the New Hampshire state prison in Concord, New Hampshire, stamp license plates with the stateâ??s motto: "Live Free or Die."
Neatorama » Blog Archive » Oh the Irony: New Hampshireâ??s â??Live Free or Dieâ?� License Plates Made By Prisoners

Maybe we can get the folks in California to get the petition for the first "It's always 420 Somewhere" plate:thumbsup:

That was when the document titled 'The Constitution' actually meant something though...

Remember stinky, 'things have changed' so we don't need to follow it anymore :thumbsup:
