NickDG 23 #1 April 18, 2008 This is really messed up. Almost 7000 Marines died on Iwo Jima including three from the flag raising photo. No matter the issue there's just some things you don't screw around with . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futuredivot 0 #2 April 18, 2008 I honestly probably wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't made the point-but I gotta agree with you on that one.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #3 April 18, 2008 What a pile of sanctimonious shit. There is nothing wrong with the picture. Iwo Jima is symbolic of victory in a titanic struggle after arduous struggle and sacrifice; the editors are suggesting that the global warming struggle will be arduous and require great sacrifice. Whether or not you agree with their comparison is irrelevant. You sound like the Muslim crazies screaming for blood because someone dared depict the prophet in a cartoon. What are you going to do, issue a fatwa? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #9 April 18, 2008 That photo is in the most astoundingly bad taste. If that is something that the editors think is appropriate, then I question their basic judgment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be one thing to depict that in an editorial, but I think it deplorable that they actually made it the cover.

NickD those that understand the original sculpture will agree, those that don't will not it is more than just a sculpture and to use it in this manner is at a minimum distastefulGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

Thanatos340 1 #17 April 18, 2008 Sad and pathetic. And I though that "Climate Change" was the new term since the "Global Warming" wasnt quite what the Tree huggers hoped it would be. I of course have a great soultion for the "Green House Gas" problem. Go back to using Aerosol Cans and Freon (Chlorofluorocarbons) so that we can reopen the hole in the ozone. Then all the green house gases can esacpe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,105 #23 April 19, 2008 I think you are upset for no good reason. It simply indicates that the photo has become an icon. I don't think icon status implies any disrespect - just the opposite.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
