Seriously though...I saw something on one of those newsshows like Primetime or
48 Hours or 20/20 about a group of "kids" (they were old enough to know better)
that stole or knocked down a stop sign. That night some young guys in a car
were killed at that intersection when their car was hit by a semi ( I think).
These kids are looking at some serious time.

wanted a yield sign there are plenty of stores and online sites that sell
plastic yield signs and stuff that you can put in your room if you thought
the yield sign looked cool. Go with one of those, it's not worth risking
being responsible for someone's death or facing jail time cause you want a
"real" yeild sign.

You hear about the folks that stole a stop sign, it caused and accident, and
someone died? Well, those folks got convicted of premeditated murder. Prison
sucks.
Put the Yield sign back. It was put up for a reason. That reason was to warn
drivers, not decorate your house.

I'm not afraid to admit that I stole a Yield sign a few years back when the
album came out. I took it from a neighborhood that was just being built
that had no houses or anything yet, just empty roads and street signs. The
sign was replaced within a week, so no harm done. It looks great on the
wall.
Would I do it now, 3 years later? No, not likely. But do I feel bad about
acting like a teenager and stealing a street sign? Nope.
How's that for rationalizing doing something wrong?

Curisng is not very nice, its a very rude thing to do. Not to mention that
it only points out your imature inability to deal with anger. Why dont u
grow up and learn to communicate without having to resort to such words to
show your anger. And agian i point out, its a yield sign, not a stop sign
or some other important road sign. The yield sign is there to point out the
already obvious, so if you were intelligent, oh nevermind, i forgot we
already established your unitelligence with the whole resorting to curse
words thing. Ok folks i have changed my position, no more stealing signs,
we dont want leanmc420 to plow into another car, when she merges into

Well, the sign was put there for a reason and when somebody gets sideswiped by
a another car because they didn't fail to yield..well, judging by your apparent

My bet is you aren't actually a student in Pittsburg but perhaps mop the floors
and empty the trash there and just by chance found a computer somebody had
accidentally left on? By the way, I am not a "parental type"...I am actually a
parent. I pray that in the future some law is passed where people have to
start taking some sort of "Am I smart enough to be a parent" test before being
allowed to procreate (make babies). I will be able to sleep much better at
night knowing there is no way in hell you would pass such a test.

that you could be the one who gets into a car accident because the person
didn't realize they were supposed to yield to you. Your comment "yield
signs are useless, if a driver actually possess one ounce of commen sense"
easily result in your own death. There are enough bad drivers out there, no
need to cause even more accidents out there than there already are. So
forget all that garbage about parental types and lectures, cause if you had
any common sense, even if you are 100% selfish, I'm sure you would not want
to get into an accident and possibly killed, by a driver who didn't know to
yield, due to lack of a yield sign.

Can't YIELD signs be bought at pretty much any junk store? To me, taking
down a traffic sign should be result in a mandatory five year term in jail
or something. People could get killed. Just once I want to see someone
have the balls to steal a sign for an exit for a road or whatever. That
might actually be funny, but stealing a STOP sign (or other) is beneath
contempt, IMHO.

Hmmm, let's see. You've got two roads merging into one lane. One of them
should have the right of way. Which one? Should we leave it up to the
drivers to decide? Nope, can't do that, because you can never count on what
another driver is going to do. That's what the yield sign is there for. It
simply states which lane does not have the right of way.
I've got yield signs right down the road from me. It never ceases to amaze
me how many drivers either have no idea what "yield" means or don't even see
them, and they drive right in front of speeding dumptrucks. Your logic is
idiotic. You can't trust people to even read signs, let alone KNOW when
they should yield.

and KNOW the other guy has the Yield sign, but wouldn't know it's
missing. So he's not gonna slow down. The guy with the missing sign
may assume he's got the right of way since he doesn't have a yield sign
either, or may slow down some, but the other guy is going so fast, he
doesn't see him. There's a reason why they put those signs up.

off-kilter logic.
Burning the American flag and stealing a road sign are two different things.
I agree, it's perfectly okay to burn a symbol that symbolizes our government
(which, today, is shit). Technically, if you burn a flag, you're
constitutionally protected by the first amendment. On the other hand, isn't
stealing a road sign a federal offense? Kind of like tampering with a
mailbox?
Anyway, ignore that last paragraph. The point is that there is a difference
between social dissidence and public stupidity.

drivers don't obey yield signs anyway!!!!
Ask me, I have sroty about one, there is a triangle intersection, the
two less used sides have stop signs, and the third has a yield sogn,
which no one follows, and I have to stop for the assholes who floor it
through the yield sign when i have the right of way, there are at
least 4 accidents a year there, all because people never yield...
it should be a stop sign..

As far as I know, this isn't a crime. Which is why there are some
people who want to amend the constitution to outlaw it. It's an
expression of free speech, and hurts no one.

Who said it's okay to drive while high? That's different from smoking a
little weed in your home, or on stage when you have a driver to take you
back to the hotel.
Honestly, do you not see the difference between stealing and a
victimless crime? You're the one who said PJ doesn't think stealing is
wrong.
> jesus christ. lighten up a little.
Yes, it is amusing when people try to rationalize stealing. Oh, it's
okay, we're just stealing from the government, or it's okay, we're just
stealing a little candy bar, or it's okay, we're stealing from a company
which is insured for theft, etc. Can you think of any other funnies?

What argument? You have not made a coherent argument that stealing road
signs and endangering lives is not a bad thing to do. Hey, ask anyone,
I can admit when I'm wrong. Give me a solid reason why stealing a road
sign is NOT a very stupid thing to do. Implying that PJ thinks stealing
is okay because they smoke pot is not a good argument.

your really funny... in fact, its pretty amusing to see you get so worked up
about something you cant really control. I appreciate your humor and your
apparent enjoyment of making me feel like an insignificant little dominant
male. oh and please dont go into the sex rant thing. its so passe. i mean, sure
i went a little bit overboard with the bitch bit, but thats not stopping you
from calling me and assortment of names, ranging from pig to fruitcake.
second of all
you seem to enjoy twisting my arguments into your favor. In fact, im kinda
confused. your calling marijuana a victimless crime? its all relative to the
context of the crime. people get killed if they dont sell their weed or do
something stupid w/ it. a sign gets taken, it gets replaced 5 days later, and
nothing happens. this sign deal is a crime that when put in context with a
accident, seems awful. I agree with you on that. 100%
take a certain relative i have, who used to pull fire alarms. It's a similar
crime in a lot of ways. now, the fire truck pulls up, leaves, and wastes $. its
a federal offense as well. and, lets say, jimmy and jane are walking with their
child in the stroller, and get hit by the oncoming fire truck. this, like
stealing a sign, is put into context. its all relative to how the story plays
out.
ok, and, yes I agree that my argument was a stretch when I was stating that
pearl jam belives that certain forms of crime is wrong. and just on a side
point, it is illegal to burn the flag. as is desecrating it. if you go down to
the police station, you can hand over your old flags to be burned in a
ceremony. the gov't doesnt appreciate you burning a flag in your local park.
thirdly.
EDDIE certainly has driven high. I basically cant prove that, seeing as he's
never been caught for it... but basically if your a marijuana smoker, someday,
in your life, you will drive high. its kinda unavoidable.
oh and, basically, everyone steals. the government and the corporations you
support launder more money, kill more people, break more backs, and in general
are much more evil then street crime will ever be.
ok.... now laurie, here is my list (feel free to add) why people will steal
signs
-to support pearl jam
-b/c its fucking hilarious
-makes great wall adornments
-good bragging rights.
-its something to do when you have nothing else to do
-you can give the signs to children
-by stealing signs you're finally going to see where your tax dollars are going
-laughs are worth more then frowns,
I hope you still respect me as a human being, neanderthal or not. sexist
'IDIOT' or not.

Ok -- not to interject more immaturity into an already immature topic, but I
couldn't resist.
No offense Laurie, but the hyper-internalization of insults on the part of women, to
make it seem as if anyone who calls a woman a name is insulting her "audacity to
stand up for herself as an equal." That's bullshit, in my opinion..anyone can be a
bitch: Man or woman. Turning his insults of you into a seemingly sexist attack does
wonders for alienating otherwise rational men (I'd like to pretend I'm in that
group) away from the feminist movement. If feminism means equal rights for all, than
I'll burn my bra with the best of them. But if feminism equals making it some sort
of sexist attack for a man to say (rudely) how he feels about a woman, than scratch
my balls and call me Brutus. Anyone can insult anyone, regardless of the package
between the legs.

Well, maybe it's my age showing here; but when I was a teenager, only
women were bitches. I do know that the meaning has changed somewhat,
but I think in today's context, the meaning is the same as being an
asshole. I think we've had this discussion before, but this is a sore
point for me because I've experienced this in the workplace. I'm a
strong woman (yeah, really), and have experienced many times the
attitude towards a strong man (a leader, a manager, a good quality) but
a strong woman is a bitch. I'm glad that you're young and idealistic
yet, and glad that you haven't experienced (or have shaken off) any
racism. But racism ain't nothing compared to sexism in this society.
And I really don't care if someone calls me an idiot or asshole, which
trolls usually resort to when they insult men. But don't call me a
bitch. There have been times on this ng when I may have deserved that
insult. But when I make a rational argument which just happens to be a
good, strong one, and have not insulted anyone, I do not deserve it. In
this context, it has the same meaning as when I was young. You don't
hear women losing an argument calling a man or a woman a bitch. It's
used by men to try to put women in their place. I've heard my sons call
each other a bitch, but that was when one was actually being an
asshole. I wasn't. This wasn't that context.
Also, it was combined with the PMS thing; don't get me started...
