NGR
GOK
GUK
SPK
CKR
KYK
BNR
CON
JAP
CNK


Hoe utterly fucking stupid. Someone needs to head off this Fear of Offending people, cause it's getting to a point where we are afraid to communicat with each other at all for fear that the words that we use will be inappropriate. This was BULLSHIT and anyone who see's validity in the fear needs to take a cold hard look at the world you are currently in and pull your head from the sand chicken little.

If that combination of letters had shown up on my plates I would have exchanged them.

I can actually see that happening.

Status: offline 		General reply: I'm still nonplussed by the violence of some of the reactions on this thread. I wouldn't have a licence plate with a dodgy combination of letters either, whatever they may be: why should it bother people so much that some drivers are careful about such details? It looks to me as though they're being over sensitive over something that doesn't hurt anybody in any way  .

Which begs the question: why do they think it's such a big deal, in the end?

Status: offline 		I'm a little confused myself,the consensus seems to be that it was acceptable that she didn't want the plate,but object that she notified the local paper..as I read the story the Motor Vehicle Dept was unresponsive to her reluctance to accept these plates.She than had a choice roll over and pay for new plates ,risk offending students and parents at work or pay the state a second tax for new plates...where is the problem with her availing herself of the press!!

Plates are NOT really handed out in Numerical Order meaning that just because she was 018 or whatever didn't mean anything.

Fear it is all fear based propaganda.

Be afraid of EVERYTHING YOU SAY you never know who you will piss off.

Why do you assume she was afraid of offending others?  Is it not even possible that she was offended herself?

In short, isn't the individual free to define what outer accoutrements they have in their own lives?  

Don't project fear and victimhood onto someone who is probably more empowered than the usual alarmist brigade; carping - again - because the world had the gall to up and change on them.

Status: offline 		Read the story she herself said why she didn't want it on her car it was because of how she owuld be precieved when there was NOTHING wrong with those three letters.

I am Projecting nothing that isn't already there.

What was wrong with those three letters? Seriouly? Do they Spell anything? When using Phonics do they ever SOUND like a word? In order to make it something inappropriate you have to MAKE it inappropriate.

People finding it inappropriate are afraid of how they will be seen by others because the funny thing is the only ones I know who would be offended by it are the same people who are offended when coffee is ordered Black. Or try to turn every missed opportunity into a race issue. No one, and I mean NO one should have to live in Fear of an honest mistake but we make it such a huge issue here.

A Racist is someone who HATES because of race not someone who puts a license plate on thier car.

NGR is NOT a Racial Slur and those who think it is are making it one by not realizing how stupid this whole idea is.

good grief.......im a cafeteria manager, and i know several times moms have breastfed in a discreet way while visiting their children for lunch.  id find a way to make the one that called the cops hate her job, and have an urge to quit, very quickly.
