[sarcasm]Let's get rid of all War-related statues and memorials. Their purpose in being built was to glorify violence. [/sarcasm]
Gun control is not Crime control.

I'd say it doesn't glorify violence but selfless service, and personal courage which are things all children should have a little more of instead of crying that they didn't get the same things as little johnny accross the street.

Yes, that is Ackbar. Yes, it does mean what you think.

I think that placing that statue near a school is a GOOD idea. It shows kids what is happening in the world today and also makes them realize that people are dying to save their spoiled butts

i personally couldn't care less if they put up a statue of a soldier. If parents are upset because it "promotes violence" they probably have their head up their ass. If they don't want it put up because they do not support the war, thats enough ground for their objection. How i see it, it would be like putting up a statue of jesus, or some other religious symbol next to a school. Lot sof people don't believe in jesus. Lots of people don't believe in the war. (i am not a practising christian, it was just an example. Please substitute jeus for Buddha, Shiva, or muhammad if you feel it is nessicary.)

If you give to a charity please think of giving to one of these two charities. The Naval Special Warfare Foundation or Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.

my rebuttle to anyone who thinks 9/11 was planned by the government is this: how did a government plan, execute, and hide a conspiracy that would have to involve the FBI, TSA, FAA, NYFD, the Port Authority, the Pentagon, and a handfull of other agencies without any of the underlings, who would have had to be in on it to not disclose any of the evidence, leaking anything before or after with any hard evidence beyond speculation. Let alone President Bush planned and got everyone on board and in line in 8 months.

OK we're going to stop this thread jacking of political puppetry now (and after I just deleted about 15 lines that don't need to pollute this)
