Alright, you know you wear them...which ones.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Ok, the very popular wristband craze that started with Lance's "live strong"...do you have any? Which do you wear?

I have a "conservative values" wristband.

<img src="http://www.redstatestore.com/cNcgraphics/Product_14_PrSpare2.jpg">

I have "ONE HUMAN FAMILY" (I got from Catholic Relief Services, promoting global solidarity.)

<img src="http://www.crscampusconnection.org/bin/a/x/nu_img-5.gif">

and a Santo Subito! which means "Sainthood Now!" The people shouted this at the funeral mass of the Holy Father, Pope John Paul ll. (The M's on the side stand for The Virgin Mary)

Those are so ugly that I could not possibly ever wear one, especially considering all the fabulous bracelets that I have. To wear one of those is a disgrace to bracelets everywhere, indeed to the whole bracelet concept. And even a disgrace to cool watches, which I have lots of. And it even indirectly insults the beautiful rings I've gone to the trouble of picking out.
It's a travesty.

Why don't I just wear a sign that says: "I have no taste, and I also feel the need to brag about things I pretend to support!" ?

Sesly, just donate your money, and quit using valuable and finite resources to make the ugliest "bracelets" :rolleyes: ever known to man or beast.

God, the human race is lame. Those bracelets just cemented that fact for me. We could have used that "ugly bracelet making" money/resources for something much more valuable, or at least more biodegradable. Like food? For someone?:shrug:

Have we become a people that thinks this is a good idea? A people who actually uses time, effort, and resources to make these ugly, meaningless bracelets?
Cause I missed that memo.
We could have donated all that to...oh, i dunno...anything????

i wear one and i love it. it's a lovely shade of black satin and on the watch face it says Marc Jacobs. it stands for everything i believe in; quality, elegance, and spending power. :wavey:

those rubberbands are hideous. they are the new trucker hat. or the new Uggs. hideous. cheap. disposable. luckily, next year they'll be gone. hopefullly right along with those detestable 'support our troops' 'pray' 'love my patriotism' ribbon magnets on every effing car out there.

if you want to help, put a $5 in an envelope and mail it off to a charitable organization, not to someone's soulless bank account. which is what you do when you buy it in a store.

I own a Livestrong wristband. I never wear it. It was given to me.

maybe I'm lame, but I don't think they are so horrible. like Suze said, they were a great fundraiser idea and were fun for a while to have a symbol of the causes you support - something you can wear to show your support and know (or at least hope) the money went directly to that organization; and I think it's the fact that now you can buy them for $1 at the gas station that really ruins a lot of the effect. but like most of you agree, I think their time in the sun is long gone...

Personally, I think they're just sour that MA is the biggest state that's represented by just one party (Democrat) in Congress. That must really chap their asses.

Plus, the argument that you as an ordinary citizen could right now carry a concealed weapon while walking down the street is assinine because in many cities you would be arrested, and rightfully so IMO. And, it should be this way - I mean can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone carried a hand gun with them at all times. Think of all the idiots who are hot headed. The murder rate would sky rocket.

Also, the text of the Const. states:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

which means a well regulated Militia has the right to keep and bear arms. There is no arguing against that on a grammatical level.

I get that everyone had a gun back then and the thought of not having one was not something probably thought of my The Framers. But, that does not mean the Second Amendment's specific lang. allows every Tom, Dick, and Harry the Const. right to have a gun. Thus, because the right does not exist in the Const., it can be more easily regulated than the "well regulated Militia" lang. in the Second Amendment. Also, even if it were in the Const., limits exist on specific Const. given rights when the use of such rights would cause danger to the public, like free speech - you cannot yell fire, when there is no fire, in a public area because preventing the riot that could happen as a result is worth more than the need for free speechin that instance, which makes sense.

Not only that it discolors the paint as it slowly eats it away.

Seems to have worked, the good karma (And great insurance coverage that has paid about $600,000 in medical bills) seemed to have worked.

"I DID NOT VOTE 4 BUSH" wristband. My friend gave it to me, and I wear it proudly. I wish you could read what it says more clearly.

gave it to ya, tell her I would like one too :nod:

[Serrart]

Ok, the very popular wristband craze that started with Lance's "live strong"...do you have any? Which do you wear?

I have a "conservative values" wristband.

That's rather chilling. A fetus near a gun? It seems declaration of self destruction.


and a Santo Subito! which means "Sainthood Now!" The people shouted this at the funeral mass of the Holy Father, Pope John Paul ll. (The M's on the side stand for The Virgin Mary)

That is gonna to happen soon, Ratzinger probably will announce the start of canonization during his visit to Poland.

Can you believe anyone in their right mind would want the image of a gun associated with the image of a fetus???

those same folk who would like to see that fetus grow up to use that gun to gun down those doctors who perform abortions.

As a matter of fact, it was her! :D I will let her know. I also saw them on eBay as well, in case you don't want to wait to get it. Instant gratification and all that. :laugh:

Well, I know that she will want to know about that! I'll tell her. We saw the Atlanta show together. It was amazing! :thumbsup:

I wear a Casio ProTrek Triple Sensor solar-powered watch, with digital time, digital compass, thermometer, barometer & altimeter.

Does it have an odometer? You really do need to know how fast you are walking sometimes.

F*ck rubber, I wear diamonds on my wrist, honey.:wavey:

I just love to start trouble!!!
tee-hee:eek: :eek:

The whole braclet "conservative- blah blah" just cracked me up??!!
Very sad-
I try and tell myself he is only 20 and finding his beliefs, and which road to follow...but with that bracelet as an amulet and inspiration...I am afraid of what a 20 year old man is thinking....

Let me note one, or should I say two different subjects
Religion
Political beliefs
Again, these are 2 (two) II, dos, der, TWO very different subjects and DO NOT belong together

Someone from the great state of MA- suggested or rather demanded a little idea called
"Seperation of church and state..." Please tell me you have heard of this concept...?

Until we battle again,
I remain, as always...the witch of wishes and sweet dreams~~eclipse

That's just not true. If you have religious beliefs, I don't see how they could possibly not affect your political beliefs. Maybe you meanty to say politics, period, as in actual policy, in which case I think you're right. But it seems like it sure would cause a lot of cognitive dissonance to have a religious philosophy and a political philosophy and not attempt to reconcile the two.

[GateandGarden]

Maybe you meant to say politics, period, as in actual policy, in which case I think you're right.I'd venture to say that that is what she meant. One can have religious beliefs but not apply them in the voting booth. But I really should consider not trying to speak for people. :laugh:

edit: after surfing that site for a while.... I am wrapping my ALL Christmas presents in the Xmas wrapping paper this year.

[bikerchic]

That is a great site. "BRING OUR TROOPS HOME, OUR HOOKERS ARE STARVING! I'm sorry but that is funny :laugh:

I see alot of these type of t-shirts at the biker event's I go to and one that sticks in my mind was the one that said "1.5 MILLION BATTERED WOMEN AND I'M STILL EATTING MINE PLAIN".

It's all in good fun people :wavey:

I keep meaning to post this because I think it's appropriate for this thread and a good shout-out to my favorite and least favorite t-shirt site, T-ShirtHell (http://www.t-shirthell.com).It's a very cool site. I have a shirt from there that I think was discontinued. It says simply "I Still Hate George Bush." It pisses everyone off when I wear it. It's kind of unfortunate, though, that I work almost every day of the week and I'm limited as to when I wear it because I can't wear it to work.

Anyway, yeah, really funny stuff there. I was offended by the Katrina shirts (couldn't help it) but that places almost always gives me several good laughs.

I'm so going to crop it and use it for the background on my livejournal, babe. :laugh:

nice, very nice. Goes right along with my thesis.Yeah, you pretty much had the definitive statements on this topic. :nod:

And I have to say that I really like "YOU CAN'T HAVE MANSLAUGHTER WITHOUT LAUGHTER," "I SUPPORT STEM CELL RESEARCH BUT ONLY AS A BYPRODUCT OF MY SUPPORT FOR KILLING BABIES," and "WHAT ABOUT ALL THE GOOD THINGS HITLER DID?"

I would never wear 98% of those shirts but I love laughing at them on the site.

I have one that says "IT AIN'T GONNA LICK ITSELF". I am very limited to where I can wear that one :laugh: Usually just to biker parties.

I hate it when I buy a hilarious T-shirt and get all excited about it and then realize that I can't wear it anywhere. I got this great shirt at a gas station (3 for $10!) that has a big Confederate flag backdrop, with the words "YANKEE GO HOME!" across the front. But how would strangers know that I was just being ironic? Poor just sat in the drawer... At least I got a lot of use out of "I Only Play Bingo On Days That End In Y."

[realcowgirl]

Those are so ugly that I could not possibly ever wear one, especially considering all the fabulous bracelets that I have. To wear one of those is a disgrace to bracelets everywhere, indeed to the whole bracelet concept. And even a disgrace to cool watches, which I have lots of. And it even indirectly insults the beautiful rings I've gone to the trouble of picking out.
It's a travesty.




I am in agreement. A bright pink rubberband around my wrist just wouldn't go with my diamond bracelet, or sterling silver cuff. No offense to those who have these bracelets. It just isn't 'me'.

The whole premise of supporting a charity is a nice thought. But, I'd just as soon write a check for a tax deductible donation.

1. Do you go on about you unrequired yearing for several Ledgies

On topic -

My two fav. t- shirts are one that says:

FRODO FAILED - BUSH HAS THE RING

and

a pic. of a huge black Scottie on mountain that reads - "A Little Scotch on the Rocks" :cool:

He is soooooo over you, Hooker. He was tired of having to tie that 2 x 4 to his ass every night to avoid falling into the Black Hole of Calcutta.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Anyway...have fun seeing Sara Groves and hopefully your Christine Perfect mp3s will be in your inbox this weekend, assuming I don't go completely insane over this damn paper I'm working on. You'll like the mp3s whenever you do get them, anyway. :)



OMG! Sara was GREAT GREAT GREAT! I actually got to meet her before the show...and I have pictures that I will post as soon as I can! The show was simply amazing...she even covered an Emmylou Harris song, "All My Tears ", from SPYBOY...which she did an amazing job on. And not mention she was HILARIOUS...telling stories of her two young boys was great! She has discovered that you can fill up water guns with the anti-bacterial hand cleaner to spray other kids, to which she added that other mothers didn't care for that...but she didn't really care! :lol:

[dissention]

But Emmylou is a flaming liberal. :p

That's, like, one of my favorite Emmylou songs (and it's originally from Wrecking Ball, not Spyboy).

[dissention]

1. Do you go on about you unrequired yearing for several Ledgies

Can't say that I do.

2. Am I prominently featured in it as everying, including you live journal, must always be about me :D

[Brwn_eyes0511]

But Emmylou is a flaming liberal. :p

And what does that have to do with anything little boy! :p

That's, like, one of my favorite Emmylou songs (and it's originally from Wrecking Ball, not Spyboy).

Sorry. :sorry: Sara just said the first time that she heard the song it was on Emmylou's CD Spyboy a few years back and she just loved the song.

[estranged4life]

(Wrist band) that says (sarcastically):

"I'm a Racist...I hate everyone, Especially that damned Earth occupying human RACE!!!"

[Brwn_eyes0511]

btw...I also learned at the concert about an amazing new charity/organization called "Blood: Water Mission" (http://www.bloodwater.org/) which I think is doing amazing things for those who are suffering in Africa!

[dissention]

And what does that have to do with anything little boy! :p

Why would Sara want to support such liberal slime? :eek:

Sorry. :sorry: Sara just said the first time that she heard the song it was on Emmylou's CD Spyboy a few years back and she just loved the song.

It's on the Spyboy live album, too, I was just saying it's originally from Wrecking Ball. I honestly can't picture anyone but her singing it, though.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Why would Sara want to support such liberal slime? :eek:

Why do I buy Sheryl Crow and other liberal artists music? Because it's damn good! :nod: I seperate politics from most of my other interests.

And although I think Sara is a Republican, there is a chance she could be a Democrat (just more of a conservative one on social issues). I have known quite a few Christians who consider themself Democrats. :shrug:

You are just trying to give me a hard time aren't you. :distress: :)

I went out and got Spyboy last night after the concert! I love it. And I also LOVE Emmylou's version of the song too...Sara did a great acousitc version, just her on the piano, her husband on drums, and another guy on acoustic guitar.

I hate it when I buy a hilarious T-shirt and get all excited about it and then realize that I can't wear it anywhere.
I know what you mean. I have a t-shirt I bought at a George Carlin show that says "Simon Says: Go **** Yourself" that I just HAD to buy, but I've never worn.

The t-sirt I still wish I would have bought, only because I couldn't stop laughing at it, had picture of Fred Flinstone, with half-opened red eyes holding a fatty and said "Yabba Dabba Doobie."

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Do you own any of Carlin's recent books? They've all got whole "chapters" that nothing but one-liners like this, page after page. It's absolutely hilarious. Brain Droppings is the best of the three (and the first - unfortunately, I think George is getting a bit past his prime).

I've been meaning to get that one. I've read some of it in bookstores, and agree it's hilarious. I also agree that he is getting a bit past his prime. He's definately changed since his wife (who was from Dayton, BTW) died a few years back.

[Wild_Heart03]

I have a Livestrong bracelet, but I rarely (if ever) wear it. Quite honestly, it pisses me off that people would wear them because they're "trendy", rather then take into consideration the true meaning behind them.
