Places Your Car Stereo's AWESOME!!! Bass Should Not Go
Place number one: In my ears -- and my spinal cord, through the vibrations -- both of which are in my house, with all the doors and windows closed, as you drive your inconsiderate ass through my neighborhood with your car windows open and your car stereo set on the volume "blast the shit out of other people."
Speaking of shit: This is the audio version of stopping in front of a person's house, pulling down your pants, and taking a big poo on their lawn.
Asshole.
Was your mother off with the sailors when she was supposed to be teaching you to be considerate of other people?

Well, they tried to ban them in Sarasota, FL a couple years ago, but the ban got thrown out by the courts for infringing on people's rights.
So if you're the one with the boom-boom, your rights outweigh mine to enjoy my Sunday evening at home while you drive by.
It's all right, they'll all be deaf by their 40s. Invest in hearing aids.

Was your mother off with sailors when she should have taught you consideration ? Love that. Alternately did your mom get run over while running after a car in the road?

I don't get the cartoon.
But, speaking of teaching young men consideration for others in general, here's one gentle but firm explanation parents can use when a boy grouses: "We have different (housekeeping) standards, and why should I have to work to your standards? That's unfair." (The above quotation is from the 1970 essay "The Politics of Housework" by Pat Mainardi.)
"It's not just MY standard. It's not 'male vs. female preferences,' either. No visitor OR future spouse deserves to be subjected to your clutter, dirt or stench. Even visitors who claim they don't mind the mess would be significantly happier if they didn't have to keep avoiding tripping over things, allergy triggers, or rooms that just plain stink. Especially bathrooms. In short, it's about common courtesy and remembering that the Golden Rule doesn't revolve around YOUR narrow tastes."
