word "Fahrvergnügen" (joy of driving)? The sticker had the pencilman
on it but I can't get the word out of my head.

its a bunch of hippie *shit*. (excuse me, PSEUDO-hippie shit) expect to
find it next to the grateful dead sticker on the dark blue a2 jetta gl.

or,

its something you expect to see on 'the' frat boy's parentally financed
a4 jetta. again, often accompanied by a grateful dead sticker.

The person brandishing such sticker obviously enjoys his music while
driving his 'Dub (is there any better place to groove to music?).

Stereotyping people according to the stickers on their ride makes no
sense. I guess since I have a Dead sticker on the cars *I* *own* (not
my parents), I should have long hair, smoke pot, and have no job. Oops.
Wrong on all counts.

Yeah frat boys are all evil.
They all get stuff from there parents and drink beer all day.
Oh, don't forget they date rape and cheat too.

It's just a sticker, and as stupid as you may think it is
it says nothing about a person that has it.

The show before my first show. Brings back memories.

I too never fit the sterotype or felt the need to fit the look, just
liked the music.

stereotypes dont come out of thin air, my friend. thats not the point
though.
the sticker is almost always next to the dead sticker, which as i
pointed out, it hippie *shit*.

dont like it? i dont care.

no, because you have grateful dead stickers you felt personally
offended. i dont like the dead; i think they suck. their music sucks,
and ill say it sucks, because i think it sucks. i think hippies suck,
and ill say that too. i live on the end of town with 90% of the
psuedo-hippies that go to school here. trust me, they suck. defend em
all you want, but a hippie is still a hippie.

and that hippie will most likely suck.

oh, and frat boys suck too, but thats another story. as far as whatever
that one guy said about them, its pretty much all true. you should see
all the rules and regulations against frats at my school. know why the
university made all those rules? cause frats suck. too much alcohol,
too much promiscuity, too much disturbance and disorderly conduct.

its funny how people get their panties all in a bunch when someone says
whats on their mind.

I'm all growed up, but I happen to agree with Ben (uh-oh, world is ending,)
the majority of frat boys I've ever encountered seem to be the one who need
maturity.

His opinion is valid, whether you like it or not. Whether or not it's based
in reality could be argued. Not by me - I've seen frat crap enough to have
a good idea.

You should put a *most* or *in many cases* with these statements.
The lack of them implies that you think ALL hippies suck or
that ALL frats suck, and that just is not true.

I mean you don't know all the hippies or all the frat boys.

peter,

get a life. i dont mean to be stepping on anyones toes, but i see i
broke a couple of yours.

i think hippies suck. i think frats suck. i dont care if you or anyone
else feels different. i dont hate them, i dont think they should all be
dead, i dont think they should all move away from me, and i dont even
think that i have any more right to existence than they do. and really,
who the hell am i to tell them how to live their lives?

but that doesnt change the fact that they suck.

i base my opinions on personal, real world decisions. i go the school
which has the largest greek community *anywhere*. ('sides greece, but
thats a different greek) i know what i see. i live in an area where
90% of the people are around me are hippies. i know what i see.

from what i see, i think they suck.

get the point?

small hippie anecdote: the vehicle of choice for the new generation,
pseudo-hippie is none other than an SUV, with a model year larger than
the year of their high school graduation.

that is one of the reasons these hippies suck. if youre gonna be a
hippie, at least have the fuckin balls to be a hippie, not some half ass
wannabe.

strangely enough, the same vehicle classification can be applied to frat
boys.

I wasn't offended. Think what you like. I think you listened to Casey
Jones one too many times and got sick cause you had friends who played
Skeletons in the Closet over and over again. Ever been to a show? Doubt
it. I think if you did, different opinion. Fact is, the man had more
talent than 99% of artists alive. and that's MY opinion and the opinion
of MILLIONS of other people.

And your definition is? Someone who listens to the Dead, Phish,
original sounding music which the radios don't play since record
companies don't think it'll sell? Creating your own reality here?

No. Rules are made to protect the dumbasses from themselves. I knew of a
few fraternities, who actually were responsible people. Another
stereotype cut in shreds.

Ignorant.. that is probably a better term to explain you. You did not
step on my toes, I have dealt with this kind of thing before. I just want
other people out there to be aware that you are big time generalizing.
I went to UVA where the Greek system is just as large as your school and I
have seen my share of typical frat behavior, hell I lived on teh same street
as many, not in one for the record. But I know , personally, me included as
well as many of my brothers and friends that you are WAY off.

Just to prove it I do not drive a SUV of my graduation year. I happen to
Drive a '99 Jetta, I listen to Grateful from time to time, (might be in my
tape deck right now) have short hair, wear a tie to work, living free from
my parents for years.

Now what does that make me. Not a hippie and a FRAT boy with taste,
class, and a open mind about what makes this world go around. Does that
sound like a stereotypical frat boy? I think not.

i was pretty sure it was AS PLAIN AS DAY and PRETTY FUCKING OBVIOUS that
i was generalizing. good thing you cleared it up for the rest of the
group, though.

> I went to UVA where the Greek system is just as large as your school

not that im bragging or anything, but i doubt it. PSU has the largest
alumni association and the largest greek system.

and is the most expensive big 10 school....
that sucks too...

i guess i have to start the "We Are..." cheer or something.

how do you know what i know and dont know. whatever dude. i see things
that support my opinion EVERY DAY. not just once a month, not just in
an article every once in a while, not even every weekend. EVERY DAY.

so thats why you got all defensive. if it will make you feel better and

for making fun of a4 jettas.

Yes - the US ad slogan circa 1990 was Fahrvergnügen but a later bumper
sticker (I have one) did a pun on it and said Fukengrüven and had the
little stick guy in a sort of dancing pose.

BTW - the little stick guy actually has a name - Otto Bahn. :-) Saw
it at the bottom of a VW ad where it was mentioned that VW had a
trademark on it.

and i was pointing out the fact that stereotypes arent just random
judgments. they are rooted in the truth. true they usually get blown
way out of proportion, but they dont come from nowhere. find me one
classic stereotype in any social, economic, racial, religious, or
nationalistic group that *isnt* rooted in the truth.

im really surprised no one came right out and said, YOU SUCK. i mean,

its part education as well) but think about it...if you were an outsider

wouldnt you just piss yourself laughing? im laughing right now cause

i would consider myself an 'artist' to some degree, and i would
certainly agree that JG had lots of talent. that doesnt change the fact
that his music sucks though.

> > a hippie is still a hippie.
>
> And your definition is?

does it matter? i could go on and on about my personal experiences with
hippies, but i know that nothing i say will make you even *consider* my
POV. thats why im not trying to be persuasive. im just stating the
facts.

ill state them again, if anyone missed it:
hippies suck. frat boys suck.

> Someone who listens to the Dead, Phish,

if that music is so original, why does it all sound the same?

> No. Rules are made to protect the dumbasses from themselves.

exactly. cause they suck, and have no control over themselves. its
really a subtle form of mob mentality.

> I don't mind, cause you don't matter.

that is fine. I know better, and I can live with myself knowing I am not

That was the most sorry ass attempt at a flame I've ever seen in my life.It
should go more like this:
People in fraterneties are fucking sissies that are afraid of the real
world.They are away from mommy and daddy and the feel the need for
acceptance,so they join a frat.The "You can humiliate me all you want just let
me in your club"mentality say's it all.I used to live in a college town and I
would see these losers every year,Pledging,s/b "Pleading" for acceptance by
other losers that think that safety comes in numbers.Frats are for PU55IES
PERIOD.It's like the same reason people start smoking,They start because they
think it looks cool,And they want acceptance.To have a club is one thing if you
have a hobby or something,But for a bunch of people to have a club
for..............What? is pretty lame.It's just a way for losers to make
friends because they can't do it in the real world by themselves.The more I go
on with this flame,The more I realize it too sucks.So let me just end now

??? you mean like girl scout cookies? i, for one, disagree with your

you dont like girl scout cookies.

as far as that 'other' crap im trying to 'sell', i was merely pointing

day i am in town.

i thought frat boys werent supposed to use the word "frat"?

> Or are you just trying to make you seem like

yes. thats exactly what im trying to do. im actually going to write my
thesis on why frat boys suck. people worldwide will use me as a
credible source when they do their own research to expose the suckyness
(or is that suckieness?) of frat boys. i will become legendary.
eventually, when all frat houses are extinct, people will throw
themselves at my feet, proclaiming me the supreme being, and ruler of
all existence.

now youre just being a silly little frat boy. i believe i have already

YES!!

I absolutely, completely, HATE golf, and the lifestyle and mindset that goes
along with it. (Country clubs, alcoholism, schmoozing and sucking up to
people with more money, trying to look like you have more money, etc.) Man,
I'm glad I don't work in sales, so I don't have to talk "golf" to people!
DAMN I hate golf!!

(but hey, if some of you like golf, then, well, that's fine with me. Just
expressing my opinion here)

Fill us in, what mis-information?

Stereotypes exist, because a large percentage of the group fit into it.
I believe that you should be aware of the different stereotypes, but they
should not change how you treat people.
At first I treat people the way I want to be treated, and then I treat them
like they treat me.

Keep in mind that 99% of your DNA is the same as everyone else, and that
includes hippies and frat boys.

> Stereotypes exist, because a large percentage of the group fit into it.

someone who understands, finally...

ive been thinking about this one too...how many people here
(specifically white people, with this example) felt almost ashamed after
watching american history X, because a part of you knew that some of the
[skinhead] issues brought up in that movie had some real solid
reasoning? ...and you couldnt believe that you agreed with some of the
things the skinheads were fighting for?

i felt that way at first, but now i realize that i can share opinions
with many different types of people, without being associated with them.
i have no problem saying--admitting--that i agree with some "different"
mentalities. im not a skinhead, im not a racist, and i dont believe in
starting violence. ...but i do understand that everyone in this world
has a different background--a different upbringing--and the way they
arrive and come to terms with their thoughts and feelings, and the way
they act upon those feelings, can be entirely different than how my
thoughts and feelings propagated, and what i do about them, even though
those thoughts and feelings are very similar.

that is completely different issue here, peter, but i suppose i could
clear many assumptions about me, which probably stem from way too much
improbable cause.

i dont treat "the offenders" any better or worse than i treat everyone
else. unless, of course, theyre assholes....and thats usually the case
with frat boys. its a little different with hippies...they *usually*
dont bother anyone. those hippies dont suck nearly as bad as the ones
that are always demonstrating for this or that. pot, tibet, trees (i.e.
any environmental issues), opposing some sort of construction...you name
it, youll see it.

not really. you disagree with what i say? thats fine with me. its not
gonna change the way i think. i can accept your views, im just not
gonna partake in them. its when people are too blinded, or too
astounded that someone could possible think different them *them* (in
this case, that someone is me), and then they disagree with *me*, rather
than with my words.

this (to me) is more of a "fuck those long boring honda threads" type of
thing. for the past few weeks, ive had to wade through huge honda
threads just to get to something that was of interest to me. now its my
turn. :-) id also like to bring a little fun into the NG. for those
that are still bothering to read this thread, they are either laughing
with me, or laughing at me. ...the point is though, theyre laughing.
ive got no problems with either one. its just good clean fun....

> (The little "it's all for fun" escape clause is a nice touch too.)

Let me tell you why I hate golf.

When I was in high school, I worked at the driving range of a municipal golf
course located in a very affluent town. I drove the golf cart with the
expanded metal caging all around it that pushed the "ball picker". Anyways,
I would start at the end of the range, and work my way in. These rich,
drunk, cheating on thier wives, golf club swinging pricks would take pot
shots at me on a regular basis. They thought it was funny when they'd hit
the cart and scare the crap out of me. Then, when I'd come in to empty the
picker, they'd have the nerve to walk up to me, holding thier basket out,
and say "how about a couple extra balls?" These sauced-out white collar
assholes had more money than I'll ever dream of, and they're schmoozing
balls from the range boy!!! What dicks.

Had a bad taste in my mouth for golf ever since.

Damn straight. Saw a guy in a pickup down in Eugene, OR (very liberal town)
with a sticker on the back bumper that said "Meat is tasty, Fur is warm." (A
takeoff on the "Meat is Murder" stickers everywhere in veggie-land.) Some
guys in a pink-triangled Microbus pull up and start cussing at him and
calling him a "puppy-killer." (?!?!?!?) On one hand, I agree with the
pickup-guy - being omnivorous myself. :) OTOH, he's tooling around with a
big sticker that pokes fun at people's closely-held beliefs. My opinion is
that putting ANY kind of sticker on your car that doesn't come from a
sponsor is an invitation for others to comment.

Every used car I've owned has required some sticker-removal, bumper and
otherwise. Why bother projecting to the world what affiliations you have?
Why invite the trouble, if the potential for trouble is there? Some folks
are nuts, and may do damage to your car if you are "wearing the wrong
colors." Just something to ponder...

Of course we can! I thought we were all getting along just dandy. You mean

Okay, whoever was driving took a wrong turn some 8 posts back and this error
