Why do people have "baby on board" bumper stickers?

Do they honestly think I'm going to drive extra careful just because they have a baby in the car? Why should I care? I dont value your baby any more than a homeless bum on the street. Actually if anything I probably value the homeless man's life more than your baby's. The homeless guy probably has had a rough life and has lots of experiences/stories to share. Your baby just cries and poops his pants all day. 

A baby is just another random human to me....not sure why people have this idea that they are special and deserve life more than another human who is older. 

So people will see it and decide to not crash into their car.

Duh.

I don't know why they do that.  All it does is let potential kidnappers know that their next victim may be in that car.  I think that most attempts to "personalize" family vehicles are terrible ideas.  People driving around with their family's last name emblazened on the back window, right next to little stick figures that represent the members of their family.  Look below and you see a bumper sticker telling everyone where their child goes to school.  Great idea.  :?

Because the baby is less close to being dead than the older person. They are also more valuable, because the baby will live longer and consume more natural/finite resources than the almost nearly dead older person. Plus, the baby has a greater chance of producing more babies than the nearly deceased older human.

It all makes sense.

They're not notices to other drivers, they're notices to anyone assisting in an accident. A baby is more difficult to find in mangled wreckage than an adult and could easily be looked over if there's no indication of a child in the car or anyone conscious to relay that information.

Probly because there might just be a slim chance, that there is indeed a baby on board.

Why do you have that weird looking avatar? It somehow represents you in some way. As does a "Baby on Board" sign. What does it matter to you anyway? Scared of babies or something?

Who cares?

Because there's a change of having a milf in the car.MonsieurX

I usually pull up alongside and expose myself when I see a "baby on board" sign.  Couldn't hurt, right?  Well worth the risk for the chance that a milf may be on board as well.

I had a good-looking milf after me a few years ago.  We worked together and she was about 10 years older than me.  Nice child-bearing hips and whatnot.  The whole having 2 kids and a husband precluded me from pursuing it.  I was admonished to "demolish that @ss" by one of my buddies though.  

Attention whores. They want everyone to know they're not a virgin.Fightingfan

LOL

Wasn't that a big fad 20-25 years ago?

So I can know exactly which cars to speed into.

I know you are probably just a little kid and have not experience the real world yet but guess what? 

In Iran, Iranians value their lives more than other lives.  In China, the Chinese value their lives more than other lives.  In Japan, the Japanese value their lives more than other lives.

I never understood why kids potray world wide human flaws as exclusive to Americans only.  "Dude, I'm so edgy I go against the grain, fighting the system, through my hatred of America."

Because the death of a baby is especially tragic.  It is very traumatizing for the parents.  It's not that hard to figure out.

If you want it from a less emotional perspective, which you probably do, because you seem challenged in that regard: a baby theoretically has the longest amount of life left, and therefore can make the greatest difference in the world.  By killing someone so young you are never giving them the chance to have experiences and leave their mark.

You say you value the homelss man for his experiences and what he can teach etc.  Well if he had died as a baby he would never have had those and his unique perspective would never have formed.

They're not notices to other drivers, they're notices to anyone assisting in an accident. A baby is more difficult to find in mangled wreckage than an adult and could easily be looked over if there's no indication of a child in the car or anyone conscious to relay that information.

I was responding to a specific "off topic" quote so my original post actually had nothing to do with the original topic. 

In regards to the topic:

Practically every life form on this planet protects its offspring any way it can.  It may not be rational about it, and its methods of protection may be futile, silly, etc., but I am not suprised that some humans do every single thing possible to protect their genetic offpsring.

It's just the way mother nature "programmed" life to work, for lack of better terms.

One thing I've noticed with a lot of internet personas that go against the grain and promote certain actions that much of society finds reprehensible etc. is that they usually have extremely hypocritical views.  

During the whole LAPD thing with Dorner, you had all of these "edgy anarchists" and "fight for whats right" people defending his actions and saying that his killing of innocents was just because it was for a good cause.  Somewhat ironically, the very thing the LAPD had been doing wrong was exerting violence, abusing suspects, and endagering people.  Long story short, what Dorner did was no better than what the LAPD had done, but because most of society thought his actions were deplorable, there were those who felt that by supporting his actions they were intelligent, informed, or superior through cynicism.
