You guys forget that France was and still is one of your biggest allies. Who gave you the Statue of Liberty?

What about the Statue? Did that beat the Germans into submission in WWII or did the US army keep Hitler from ........ing on your really ugly metal tower?
"When I die I want to pass peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather did, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car."

Alright. You can make fun of a man's ugly metal tower. You can make fun of a man's feminine style of playing tennis. But making fun of a man's ugly rock? You don't ever, make fun, of a man's ugly rock. That's just wrong. What's the matter with you?
why not? imagine someone official comes along and says, hey were taking you tax money to carve some munter in the side of a mountain! what other 'monuments' has your country got exactly?
I loathe pointers
Lincoln, Washington (quite a few of ex-Presidents), Vietnam, WWII (quite new), and probably a couple of others. And that's just Washington D.C.
i mean BIG monuments, most first world countries have all that schnazz

If you're talking Rushmore-style BIG I don't think I can think of any. Rushmore is pretty unique and I don't think it's even really considered a monument.
well not rushmoore big, but anything unique excluding war memorials and presidents statues
actually, who cares?

Not me. Hey speaking of politics (we kind of were), anybody ever notice the political parallel in computer companies?
Windows, DOS, Microsoft- Conservative (more for the OS rights than user rights)
*Nix, Open Source Communites - Liberal (more for the user rights than OS rights)
Macintosh, Apple, etc. - Green Party (some good ideas, but who wants to throw their vote away?)
didnt notice that! but its so true...Originally Posted by sean_mackrory
