Sowulo, I stand by my own post and claim it is legit. You said (sarcastically) that destroying Afghanistan would:
"kill a few million innocent people who happen to live in a country that had some real corrupt politicians who harbored a few thousand terrorists."
Let's see... bombing Washington would kill a few million innocent people... who live in a country that definitely has some real corrupt politicians... and has also harbored terrorists in the past as well...
Bombing Ottawa or London or Geneva or Buenos Aires would also accomplish the same thing, too...
Where's the issue?

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you at all--I was only taking your great idea and running with it but of course with my tongue very firmly planted in my cheek just to cover my butt if someone decided we had a good idea.... :D :D :D

Ah. My bad then. We now return you to your regularly scheduled outrage.

Then no one will ever try to kill an American ever again...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: </strong><hr></blockquote>
Unfortunately WAR does kill many innocent people, WAR is barbaric, WAR is not humane, WAR is not pretty, WAR means Kill or be Killed. I would rather do the killing!
I don’t care if they are Muslims or aliens, kill em all. All of em damit!!!
Do I seem angry today? Maybe I just hate to see my own people die (Americans)!!

Just some food for thought. How did they arrive at the decision to remove the two firefighters and replace them with two models, one black and one hispanic? Was one of the white firefighters more white than the other two? What do the two firefighters feel about being deleted from the original image? I have absolutely no problem with showing racial diversity in a memorial. Many people from different races AND nationalities died in the tragedy. It wasn't just Americans that died. This memorial isn't even THE memorial for that day. It is a memorial for the firefighters that died that day. The image was altered for political correctness. Please don't try to argue that it wasn't for political correctness. To change the image to show racial diversity within the firefighting community IS an attempt at political correctness. Political correctness IS to not exclude any race or color or nationality in a way that will anger them. I see a lot of apathy towards the whole PC movement, "It's not that big a deal so who cares."
Does anyone really think the image SHOULD have been altered in the first place or do you just not care that it was altered?
To be honest, I'm not sure why I feel so strongly about this or even why I've tried so hard to express my point of view. Every time I see something altered for political correctness I can't help but wonder if this whole idea of pointing out our differences (race and color) is only adding to the problem it's trying to correct. We are all Americans (not speaking for everyone in this forum). We are not white Americans, black Americans, and hispanic Americans. Just plain simple Americans period. I know this is an idealized view, but it's how I feel. Especially now. :cool:

The reason why I signed is because I feel that changinf the races of the people in the statue disrepects the fireman who are getting shafted by the change. What they did is worthy or an exact representation of those three men. How must they feel. Aren't we discriminating them in the name of being PC?
-
I thought all of the faces were made "generic" to avoid that very problem. Anyway, the NYC fire department is 93% white. I guess they blocked the statue because there weren't enough white people in the final version or something.

Coool :cool:
You mean I could think for myself?
