What do they mean? Is it a club? A cult? A conspiracy? Does having a large metal star on your domicile increase one’s property value? Is it to get Santa’s attention? Or God’s? Do they deflect evil spirits? Or alien probes? —what about a sun? or a smiley face?

We’ve already covered this, like a year ago.

It’s a decoration op. Stop being a blowhard.
It’s the international symbol for “Acadians Live Here” because the old symbol, large, garishly painted wooden butterflies were deemed too classy by a UNESCO Heritage Committee.
Maybe they believe they are living in Hollywood and they’ll be the next megastar to grace the silver screen.
Who the fuck cares what someone else sticks or doesn’t stick on their house?

like the knights who say NI !! I shall say karma all day.
Painey – I don’t think your technique of positive reinforcement is substantially stemming the use/misuse. Therefore we must move to negative reinforcement.

The sun is a star OP, the closest one to us.
The star on a house is representative of a “five kill”club. Someone who has murdered at least five people, a person for each point on the star. If you don’t like it, I suggest you ask them to take it down. They’ll probably replace it with something more hexagonal.
mrgphffplhe
sorry OP, I forgot. yes, reg is correct (as he is always) it’s a murderers symbol. go ring the bell and ask them to take it down.
( I see the bug left your wit unscathed reg, good to see you back in fighting form)
murderous symbol?!?!
Makes me fear walking past any house with the star of david up…
