[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are SO annoying and I can't imagine who would put these on their vehicle (none of my friends) and yet I see them all over.  If nothing else, it's a safety issue letting people know how many people live in your house, how many kids you have, etc.  [/quote]

I don't know about you, but anybody can know how many kids I have by either watching me drive by or counting the number of car seats (if the car is parked). People who want to harm your family will be watching you for days, they'll know when you leave in the morning, when you come back, what your family pattern is like, who is most likely to be home on a Saturday, what time the whole family is home, when you leave town for long holidays, you get the idea. Anybody can know how many people you have in your family, before they even realize you have a sticker.[/quote]

You're describing someone who really wants to harm you personally and you're right, sticker or no sticker, they're going to get you.  I'm talking about crimes of opportunity--someone happening along and seeing your stupid stickers and knowing just how many kids you have.  [b]Didn't anyone see the Dexter episode where the serial killer uses the stickers to target a family?  Now that family was even more stupid and had the names of the kids with the stickers, which I've never seen anyone in real life use the poor judgment to do.[/b]

Anyway, potentially dangerous or not, the stickers are just stupid.  Why anyone wants to advertise their family size and composition on their mode of transportation is baffling.  [/quote]

Apparently you and I are the only Dexter fans, because I did see that episode. And I have seen cars with the peoples' names under them (and in at least one instance, I know it was their real names because I know the kids). [/quote]
