I don't understand what you mean by 'not a lot of substance'. A lot of those quotes hold valid points. Do they not have substance because you disagree with them? And why not use quotes? What's so wrong with quoting someone from the past who held respect and was noted for intelligence?

Says the man with a clichéd quote in his own signature. Got a bumper for that one, BS?

Is there something wrong with posting quotations that mean something to a person? Please, point me to the rules that say "personal opinions are not allowed."

All very cute, but not a lot of substance. Quotations are always a little cliche for me. Instead of using them to make and argument, why don't you just slap them on your bumper.

Also, some of them are not very tolerant which is SOOO important to eveyone.
