BABY ON BOARD signs

[AFTT47]

Goodness, they;d never get that all stuffed on a sticker.

Lol! Definitely not!

That's why we ended up with, "Alien Onboard" and "Stupid Yellow Sign Onboard."

Same message. You just have to think harder to get to the conclusion.

IDK, I think you may be thinking too hard.  A baby on board sign is more likely to be a "please don't hit me" than some sort of exhortation to hit someone else or an elaborate comment on the relative value of life based on age.

A baby on board sign is essentially the equivalent of the word "peanut" on a bag of M&Ms.

Well right but where is the justification for giving them special consideration for not hitting them vs. hitting someone else not having a baby in the vehicle? Why should anyone get such special treatment?

Hell, I would be more favorably inclined to a sign which said, "Young, Hot Blonde with Great Legs Onboard!."

But I would not be so arrogant as to make a case that someone should go out of their way to specifically avoid hitting my vehicle because my preferred form of life was onboard.

If it's not that, then why would there need to be any justification -for- that?

There's a joke somewhere in here about hitting that.

See above, lol.

People remind us that there are babies in cars. They also remind us that there are two wheelers on the road. I doubt that either group is making some grandiose statement about the relative value of babies or bikers.

"Please don't hit me! I don't drive any better than you, but let's make an except for the crap-o-matic in the baby seat." 

Wouldn't fit on a yellow sticker.

It would, but the print would be so small that they'd run into that car trying to get close enough to read it.

My bumpersnicker says "DANGER, I DRIVE LIKE YOU!"

I really don't understand the massive butt hurt over what sign someone else wants to put on their car. Lol

Well, it goes like this:

I never considered the possibility that the vehicle owner meant to convey the message that in the event of an accident, first responders are requested to see to the safety of the baby before any adults or more mature children in the vehicle. I think such a message should be conveyed more clearly because IMHO, the message is more likely to be interpreted as, "There is a baby aboard this vehicle and as a baby, his/her life is more precious than the lives inhabiting other vehicles on the road. Therefor, if you are driving carelessly and find yourself in an inevitable crash situation, please make an effort to crash into one of the other vehicles around you rather than this one as the lives of the occupants of the other vehicles are not as valuable because they are not infants."

Sorry, but that is offensive to me. It doesn't make me "butt hurt" that much. I would be much more inclined to be "butt hurt" if the other car had a "Trump - Make America Great Again" sticker. In that case, I would be likely to aim for the target vehicle if an accident was inevitable. But the "Baby On Board!" sign would definitely not make me inclined to go out of my way to avoid that vehicle.

I find the implication that infant human life is intrinsically more valuable than more-developed human life offensive and objectionable. It doesn't mean I would be necessarily less inclined to regard someone holding that view as a friend. I sure as hell would not be favorably inclined to the occupants of a vehicle displaying that sign though.

It's just a sign. The one I see most often around here is "no fat chicks" lol. I wasn't referring to you as being butt hurt though, I was referring to succubus.

Has anyone here actually driven safer because they saw a BABY ON BOARD sign on a car? 

No - but for a SHOW HORSES sign, it's ten-and-two.
