The Hang Loose Poll

I'm sure you all find the 'Islands' stickers annoying. Of course you do. If I wasn't from Hawaii I probobly would too.

Hate all you want. Hawaiians represent with pride that most people cannot understand. It's not to rub peoples noses in it, it's just a pride in being from a such a special place.

Plus, when I see the Islands (or other Hawaiian style sticker - the authentic kind, not the cheesedick tourist kind) on someone's car, I know they are from Hawaii and they have instant respect and Aloha from me. I have strangers come up to me all the time and ask me if I am from Hawaii because they see my stickers, and then proceed to treat me like I was their bruddah from Waikapu. It's universal. I was in Seattle over New Years and was talking story in the park with a huge moke who I had never met before while our kids played together. He approached me because he say my truck and my hat. It was like we was long lost family. Hawaiians share a special bond. The stickers are just a small part of it.

So go ahead, get annoyed. You have my sympathy. I wish you were all from Hawaii too. Then you would understand.

P.S. - I do think the turtle stickers are played out and kind of #$* (rhymes with hay) even if I do have one on my truck.

MAUI BUILT!

dano's right...pride, respect, family...you gotta stick to your roots...you see one other person from home over here and introduce yourself, instant family...its not flaunting that we're from hawaii, only proud and not afraid to show how much it means...i agree that the turtles are overplayed, but my truck is stickered up and old leis on the rearview (and lifted-dub star)...and if you no like...ainokea.

Do you Hawaiians have the same sense of family to other Hawaiians that are Haole, or is the homeboy love just reserved for the big boys?
