   So what, if in your opinion it got out of hand?  As Tupe says, "It's a free country" and fortunately "you are not the boss of us."

	Who the hell are you to label everyone with a confederate flag a racist? And who put you in charge of this board? I have lived north, south, east and west and the worst racists I ever saw were in Boston. And thats a town full of slackjawed liberal democrats. But hey that is just my opinion. Which is at least as good as yours. quote: Originally posted by getmehome pweeze [br]lets see- this topic- DID get out of hand, off topic, and irrelevent.

	What's the difference between hopping in a car with the confederate flag listening to Johnny Cash and getting in the car with someone blasting christian music or a sermon? I literally had to chew up paper to plug my ears because a woman had a sermon up as loud as possible. I had to kindly ask her to turn it down (and the preacher was using the "revelate" in terms of the revelations. hello? the verb is reveal) or getting into a car where someone is glued to a cell phone on the horn with their pastor. I find it incredibly offensive because in my opinion that crap has nothing to do with christianity. it's completely specious. Is it appropriate for me to say that in this forum? no, but it's not appropriate for others to impose their views in this forum either. At least you saw the flag. when you get into an unmarked car and the christian yelling spews out of the radio, you're an unwitting hostage for the duration of the ride.

	It's the driver's choice to play or listen to what they want to, even if it bothers you. I'm sure we've all put up with 1 million hours of WTOP or some music we don't like. If you don't like it then don't ride with them next time or just use your own MP3 player. Christian Music Rocks!!!!!

	It may be up to the driver but the suggestion is to not play anything political or controversial on the radio. That's why when I drove, I elected to not put on Howard Stern.

	Everything is philosophical though and therefore controversial. Doesn't matter if I just "like the music, but don't listen to the lyrics", all music, news, poems, commentary, anything spoken, is spoken from a philosophical viewpoint even in jest. Would be a very quiet, disconnected world were we not to engage with one another in loving, understanding ways in order to understand where others are coming from and thus LEARN about those around us. NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

	The point of a forum is to post OPINIONS, I posted mine, as have others, some have agreed, some have not. Oh well if my opinion does not match yours, thats life. :'}

Oh well if my opinion does not match yours, thats life. :'} Every thing is not philosophical and therefore controversial. there are somethings that are immeutible. It does not promote connection when one person foists his religious or political or social proclivities on another. It subrogates. I don't think our playing of certain charged materials in the cars are for altruistic reasons; it's not so we can all embrace differences; it's to proliferate our own ideas and to quash the ideas of others. I usually tolerate the religious stuff because the ride is free and is the hurt my asking the stuff be turned off worth my comfort? no. Do I expect the person of faith to be as considerate? ironically, no. In the case of my objection, the volume was up loud. I mean loud. so I did have grounds to complain. alrighty.

	anything loud can be requested to be turned down. I'm a driver and I'd expect the rider in back to remind me if I forgot to move the fade to front. I'm hard of hearing anyways, so whatever is playing in my vehicle is probably loud to more sensitive ears. your ideas can't be quashed unless you let them be. know what you know and why you know it and then stand by it (that's a philosophy too). Everything does derive from a philosophy of life, that's why we can think whereas some forms of matter can't. Maybe it's not foisting so much as the person wants to listen to something (be it Stern or Swindoll) while on the road. You're doing well to tolerate it. I applaud that. I'd hope folks are forthright enough to tell me if they have a preference to my CCR! NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!
