It really bugs me seeing Joe Somebody driving his truck with
one of those magnetic support our troops ribbons. When in actuality they have
most likely purchased it from their local gas station. No money goes to the
association for veterans or anything of the sort. It goes to the gas station they may have paid
like 5 cents per magnet from the distributor, but in all truth are you really
supporting your troops you’re putting money into a multi- million dollar
corporation just to say you support you’re troops how about supporting them by
voting for a government that doesn’t send our troops out to fight in a war that
the united states government is responsible for. Stop sending troops out to
fight imaginary threats and dying for oil that wasn’t yours in the first place.
Bring them home or help out and volunteer at a non-profit organization for the
veterans. Don’t go pay 5 dollars or whatever they cost to stick a magnet on
your vehicle.
Giving your support makes no difference if all your doing is
buying a piece of sticky plastic, so stop patting yourself on the back because
you feel like you’ve done something to make the world a better place. Get off
of your ass and do something to help rather than slapping this magnet on your
car, truck, or van just to make yourself feel like things are getting better or
your making a real change in the world with this magnet. Your no hero the guy
putting his life on the line so we don’t have to that’s the guy who deserves a
pat on the back or how about the thousands who have died to protect our rights.
Not some jackass with a bumper sticker, what are you really doing? Well by purchasing this product from a gas
station and not from a veteran organization you are supporting the gas company/industry which is why we are at war to get more gas and oil. Why do you think Stephan
Harper was supporting them and then shortly after we send out more troops. I
mean come on let’s get someone in charge who actually cares about the little
people and not the big industry in charge.
Most likely the people who buy this
dumb-ass bumper stickers or magnets aren’t going to vote for change but for
whatever they know and makes them feel safe because it’s a routine. Let’s help
our troops for real. Stop feeling so good because you put a damn bumper sticker
on your car and stop the war, and stop letting industries push our government around. Educate yourself it's your responsibility to be an informed citizen take a stand and make a change.
My least favourite ones are the "My child goes to [insert prestigious private school here]"
ReplyDeleteIt's so tacky. It might as well be "I want you to think I am better and richer than you with more successful kin, but really my house is going up for foreclosure to afford to look wealthy and send my children to this academy"
