2. This whole war is tasteless IMO
And it's the truth. Our soldiers are being mutilated.

5. Agreed. But...
Before you go showing amputees on stickers. First, get the permission of the amputees. I'm willing to bet most soldiers -- even those against the war -- would turn down the idea.

3. That is harsh.
Too emotional to achieve the desired effect. But thanks for the idea.

4. I prefer my "Thanks W!" stickers.
Although, I haven't yet put one on a gas pump - every place i've stopped has a camera over each pump - it's pretty subtle.

8. Find a graphic arstst to render an image rather than photos
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 01:14 PM by rustydog
You can get more emotion from a caricature then a photo that may offend someone.

Show an amputee and a photo of Bush saying: I've got to get on with my life"
or; armless vet and Bush saying: "Now watch this drive."
