'ASIMIL8': Licence plate fight may be headed to court

[tss]

Can someone PLEASE explain why Tennisace is still able to create threads where he purposely supports the wrong side of an inconsequential small-town dispute in attempts to flame people or start arguments? There is no discussion here. Ignoring all the context and trying to make this a racial issue is a waste of everyone's time. License plates are out of sight to most people, states and provinces do a fine job filtering out explicit license plates with malicious intent, this one is not offensive.

Because it's Endus's shitposting alt.

We should just conquer Canada already. Their weakness is pathetic.

Really? He expects us to have sympathy and be on his side over a vanity license plate? Shape up son. Reconciliation and treating people fairly is more important than your license plate.

Yeah we are removing your Canadian card. You're becoming radicalized to be outraged at stupid petty stuff.

On topic, it is a Star Trek reference. A place where we should be building our society towards.

This isn't crying over. It's 2 citizens using their rights to effect change.

No, what it is is ridiculous.

There's literally no reason to force the opinion of two people onto him over something so silly just because they feel like interpreting it the wrong way. It's a waste of time and effort.
Also, I don't see the purpose in underlining his last name like it has anything to do with this.

Meanwhile this lady got this plate by chance..

Are you trolling? It was a Star Trek plate.

I think that was a hint that Tennisace is trolling.

People should be able to purchase and place whatever they want on their vanity license plates, whether it's ASIMIL8, NAZI, COMMIE, etc.

Hurt feelings are not a good enough reason to censor non-violent expression.

[Mad_Murdock]

All vanity plates are completely stupid, but he should be able to keep his. There's nothing wrong with referencing assimilation with regards to either real life or Star Trek.

Stupid maybe, but many states love them. As they are fat dough for the city\state budget.

Now she's right on time for anal...

Who is being treated unfairly by a license plate?

"Canadians are becoming increasingly less tolerant of free expression," Carpay said in April. “You have more and more people who believe that they have a legal right to go through life without seeing or without hearing things they find to be offensive."

it's right in the article. the entire description of ace and enderp.

[Jokerfiend]

Jesus, Tennisace is such a nanny.

Only thing worth noting here is that someone has to fight a stupid uphill battle because of 2 racists.

That's a real tin-foil hat theory.

[primalmatter]

To be fair they are trying to destroy a statue in halifax to because someone had the audacity to sing god save the queen to them

[Stop Pretending]

Canada seems like a real shit place to live if you value things like free speech or freedom of expression.

[Aeula]

Reconciliation and treating people fairly is more important than your license plate.

Reconciliation for whom? People who hate Star Trek? The two fuckwits offended by his license plate should be fined for wasting everybody's time.

It sadly is. Some of us are trying to make it better but its a uphill battle now.

[SherriMayim]

...To be fair immigrants should assimilate.

[Beardless Man]

Yep, God forbid someone gets offended in this day and age. Nobody's allowed to hurt your special feelings. It's impossible to just ignore things. Someone tells you that you look dumb out on the street and they should be arrested, right?

It's canada, it's no longer a surprise something offends someone, and someone has to report the outrage here.

People moving into a country should assimilate into it, not start changing said country. There's nothing nefarious about that statement. Celebrate where you come from all you like, but be mindful of where you are first.

Something that was unfortunately completely lost on people colonizing the Americas. I suppose that's where the whole mentality of "let's go to a country and start changing it to our liking" comes from, too.
