Atheist Sues After NJ Rejects Her License Plate

[Cinjin]

This is some right ignorant logic here:

Suppose David Duke put a license plate on his car that read:

NGGR H8R

Would his car get torched? While you might own the car you don't own the plate. The state realizes there are assholes in the world and doesn't want to have its property used to incite those assholes towards violence.

It seems abundantly clear that those assholes you speak of would be primarily Christians and Muslims. Who else would possibly get so bent out of shape over a simple word like 'atheist?'

If this atheist really wants to express her atheism....she can purchase a bumper sticker so her ability to speak is not impinged.

Perhaps the government should go ahead and decide which bumper stickers can be placed on vehicles as well. True, the stickers aren't actually made by the government, but some "asshole could vandalize a vehicle" because of it. Lets just do away with free speech so nothing ever gets vandalized. /sarcasm

In my opinion the state should either allow all speech on its plates and accept the consequences thereof, or not allow its plates to be used for speech at all. Playing a guessing game of what speech is okay and what isn't is just ripe for abuse.

And yet you clearly seem to condone the states decision to censor certain groups ....

I understand why she is upset, but I also understand why the state would want to discriminate.

I could see the state banning the plate, "WHTEPWR" and allowing "BLCKPWR". The first is more likely to incite violence than the second.

So you want to give the government the power to decide what IS and IS NOT "safe" to use on a license plate simply because historically, one group is scarier than another. Which really means that you're admitting that you and the rest of the christards are angry unreasonable unethical savages who can't walk by a simple word without reacting like ignorant primitives.

Yet somehow I'll bet you don't support censorship of your prayers at a HS graduation ceremony do you.
