well, there is that view of course. most of the folks who have put those emblems on their cars probably really are just trying to make a visible statement of support for the troops. this isn't the first war that yellow ribbons have been seen, only the first time someone was smart enough to make it a magnet and sell it to people.

I second that... lighten up, dude. Maybe these people are putting the magnets on their car because they really want to show their support for the cause. Thinking that they do it because they think they are better than everyone else is a really judgmental point of view.

Do people put college stickers on their car because they want to make everyone else feel bad because they didn't go there or because they have pride in their institution?

No, they show they're putting their kids through college and if you hit them they'll sue for every dime they can get. Also if they hit you...forget it, they're broke.

The magnetic ribbons....they show how helpless people feel about what's happening. For or against, they have no power to affect what's happening and have to resort to a pathetic magnet to make a statement.

What about paint damage from electrolysis (sp)? I had magnetic stickers on fridge & dash of my old truck, paint came off underneath.
