Should We Give Back The Statue Of Liberty?!?

[Revolution]

There is a group trying to ralley for this, dont have the site link sorry. Heard it on the news.

So, should we give it back?

[KoldFusion]

nope

[Mtx]

Giving back the statue of liberty would show the world how truely childish and retarded we are.

:mad:

[Hamma]

:lol:

So true, I agree 100%.

[Revolution]

Yes I agree but I thought I'd still make the poll because there is a group trying to. Besides, its part of our history, (patriotic music starts playing the the background very quite and starts rising volume level a little at a time), our heritige, where we came from, How This Great Nation of Ours Became in the First Place! Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You! I have A Dream! I'm Not a Crook! Its Good FOR the Economy!

But......I got another idea!

We could blow it up and blame Saddam
:thumbsup:

Two birds with one stone! :D

[xuur]

give it back? geez, I guess I could come up with a more pointless and self defeating protest, but it wouldnt be easy.


translastion: uh....no.

[diluted]

i'm against it, but since fucktards are making 'freedom fries' and refuting french things, then give it back you bigotist shitfaces.

end :).

[�io]

:lol:

That's pretty much as stupid as the pouring wine down the drain thing.

I quote the great Jimmy Falon Trust me, they're laughing at us, okay? French fries aren't even French, they're Belgian. Some American guy named them wrong to begin with. Also, they're pouring bottles of French wine down the toilet? Stop it! You already paid for the wine, you dopes!

:nod:

[Revolution]

WHO THE FUCK IS POURING FINE WINE DOWN THE TOILET?"!?!?!!??!??

Ok first I didnt start this thread in an attempt to diss the French I just heard it on the news....Though lets see what my MOFO's thought at PSU.

Second, the French make good wine! Not as good as Italy but thats just my taste due to my 7 years in the restaurant business.

But I will say this.....Italian women........ Yea I got one notch.......Better than NONE F U!!!!!!!!!!


Ok back to the point..Who is pouring WINE down the drain!??!?!?!?! NO NO NO!!!! ITS NOT COOL!!!! Ban It Dont Drink It, but DONT WASTE IT!!!!!

How about this: pour the wine in a Super Soaker, and do a drive by on a ANTI WAR protest :D


I'm not joking.....Gonna dump it make it usefull!

[Mauser101]

Although I'm very pissed off about France's stand in the current situation, the Statue harkens back to the day when the French saved our asses in the Revolutionary War (called the War of Rebellion in England right?) and we inspired the French to revolt and depose their monarchy.

I may disagree with their current viewpoint on world events, but I will not deny their support of us at the very beginning of this great experiment we call American Democracy.

PS: I like Australian wine. Rosemont Estates Shiraz and Merlot.

[Flameseeker]

There are nearly as many Frances as there are Louis guys. There is France under a dictator, the 5th Republic, etc... So technically, IMO, a different country gave it to us.

Exactly

[Arshune]

They should run a bet. If WMDs are found in Iraq, the French have to clean the green crap off of the statue, if none are found, then we do.

THAT'S THE ONLY FAIR WAY TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION.

BTW, if they give it back I'm gonna be pissed, that statue is teh pwn.

[Revolution]

Isnt the Statue green to begin with?!?!!?

I don't think not liking a country makes you a bigot...

[diluted]

no its not green to begin with. it was brown(copper) when it was first made.
its weird, isn't it? the pyramids of giza were a platinum-white after they were done.

and yea french have their beleifs and hey we dont like that so lets just disregard everything they have in our culture.

It's green because of oxidation.


The Statue of Liberty consists of approximately 179,000 pounds of copper. Copper is a reddish-brown metal, but the Statue of Liberty is green. How is this possible?

A chemical change through the process of oxidation the answer. Oxidation is a form of corrosion that occurs when oxygen and moisture in the air attach to certain metals. There's plenty of both oxygen and moisture near the Statue of Liberty, which is made out of copper. Oxidation causes copper and copper alloys to develop a green covering called patina. The patina on copper can help slow down further oxidation or corrosion. The Statue of Liberty's rich green coloring is a trademark for the statue.

I wanted to vote "Keep it but change the torch to the middle finger" but it's not there.

/me dreams of a 150 foot tall 225 ton STFU statue

;)

[xuur]

ok guys. enough of this.

The statue of liberty, if you've ever seen her is one of this countries truly awe inspiring sights. What it stands for here and what its meant to portray far outweighs where she was born.

to my eyes....just let 'em come and try to take her back! :mad:



:usa: :thumbsup:

[Flameseeker]

I say we make Chirac lick all that oxidation crap off with his tongue, and keep it off.

[Bighoss]

I think we should actually take it down and then France and America should team up to make a more modern version of it for the world of Today... maybe based on a similar design like this.

[Arshune]

Who makes a giant statue out of copper, anyway? Cheap bastards couldn't even afford some stone? I mean wtf.

[Hamma]

I think I am gonna have to agree with Hoss on this one.

[Derv]

Acid rain makes quick work of Stone. With all of the pollution in NYC I'm sure there is enough acid rain to make it not worth having a stone statue there.

[xuur]

if it were to be replaced, make it a 1000 foot tall holograph.


or maybe clear plastic

:p


(BigHoss et al, I have one like that in my collection, but Hamma would have my head on a pike if I posted it. Nice one tho)

[Destroyeron]

:drool: hehe, the idiots who wanna give it back must be on crack, i mean, do you give a birthday present back?

[Fire_Monkey]

I'm goin with MTX here, what a bunch of immature people. God people are stupid..ahhhh get me away from the stupid people.

[Tobias]

Its ours, our own, our pre....er uh, I mean, no, they cant have it.

Heh i like that. :)

[Sando138]

possible solution to get people to shut up about this:

put one of three engravings on the plaque with 'July 4th'
1: made in France, Built by America.
2: First Iraq, then France!
3: Hey, Frenchies! Come get me if you dare!
