Clearly, God is sending everything he can to destroy it.....heat, earthquakes, hurricanes.... -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 23, 15:11
I'm irritated it was made in China. -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 14:40 3

  - sure. The statue still should have been made here by an American for this great American. -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 14:54 1
    - american jobs for american monuments! -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 15:19
Not very racist at all -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 14:37
really people? You want to complain about which way the memorial is facing? *sigh* -- nm - sycor Aug 23, 14:33 4
- In the unlikely event media doesn't immediately find someone willing to complain, they just look harder. "Everything's super" is rarely a story -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 14:37
- I'm not sure I like the literalness of the "mountains of despair" behind it, but the statue itself is a marvelous piece. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 14:35 2
  - some said he looks depressed -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 23, 14:38 1
    - I think it's more of a stern gaze than anything. - Stephen Aug 23, 14:44
