Why do you not like war memorials?


It's because of what they say about our species. Where are the monuments to our progress? Shouldn't they be the most visible expressions of our humanity?

Do do you have issue with stadiums such as Soldier Field?


Issue? No. Obviously I'm in too small a minority to generate an issue with American war idols.

Fair enough you are at least able to formulate your own opinion about war monuments and gave reasoning to object. I wasn't trying to take a shot just was wanting a reason.

In the cities and the skyscrapers .... in our society, in our willingness to help one another, in our basic desire for good over evil.

Sheeesh ... so you're an American hater?

How about the different people we elect to lead us. Or in our willingness to send more money overseas to help those less fortunate ... more money than any country in history.

Or how about in our willingness to fight for what we believe in ... and we may not always be right, but we're always willing to fight for it regardless.
