#1 PET PEEVE: Ironic D.A.R.E. shirts.
I HATE HATE HATE it when I see like 18 year old kids wearing their D.A.R.E. shirts.

It's even worse when they are obviously pot smokers.

I want to punch those kids in the throat.

5. D.A.R.E. is a failure
Started by an evil fascist named Daryl Gates. Stupid program that is now seen as worthless.
Hey, I have a DARE shirt that I sometimes wear. And I smoke weed.
How about you come on over and punch me in the throat?

7. If it's such a failure
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 03:00 PM by sysoprock
Then I would have to question why you wear the shirt?

Is it to be ironic?

That's why it's funny.

Fine. Please post all your other dislikes so we can avoid getting punched in the throat.

13. Fu*k DARE
Using deceitful scare tactic propaganda on ten and eleven year olds to program them against drugs, alcohol, or anything is evil. I remember those mandatory aversion therapy sessions with nothing but anger as they gave me nightmares - I was seriously traumatized over the fear that avoiding drug use (and therefore immediate addiction and a quick descent into the abyss, of course) would take some enormous heroic effort on my part as drugs and dealers were EVERYWHERE.

Now I boil over when i hear coworkers tell me about their kids who're in DARE or some such BS who come home thinking their parents are alcoholics because they've seen them drink a beer.

15. The D.A.R.E. program at my school was hilarious.
They had this DARE Car that was all sleek looking with a siren on it, and it had DARE written all over it.

I always thought, whats the point?

Kid A: Yo man, come take a hit off this here crack pipe.

Kid B: Ok, but wait a second...

that car was just so fucking awesome... I can't do it.

9. How about "Legalize Pot" bumper stickers on cars
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 03:07 PM by bif
And the drivers wonder why they get pulled over all the time.

10. I want one that says
D.A.R.E. to admit the program doesn't work!

Because, of course, it doesn't. But because it provides your local police with some extra income, they approve of it.
