Cross at world trade center memorial?

[Violet]

Going along the grounds of that logic, monuments and cemeteries are illogical too.

Using 'logical' to say something that is not tautological (ie: a cemetery is a cemetery) or to make valid a statement so it is become tautological (all dogs are mountains and all mountains are blue, therefore all dogs are blue) is a complete misuse of logic.

Because it looks like death won, that car accident with no survivors won, cancer won, Alzheimer's won, etc...

It does not matter if in the end you are defeated by gravity: for gravity cannot brag about beating you.

The Vietnam memorial. One gigantic outstretched tombstone. Looks like the north Vietnamese won.

They did.

Arlington cemetery, where dead soldiers rest beneath little white crosses and now pentagrams, if they were Wiccan. Lives lost across the generations. Looks like every enemy in the history of war that put them there, won.

Fascinatingly enough: if someone kills you and you are not some sort of amazing philosopher king who used your death to further your goals: they won.

Fireman's memorials. Looks like the flames won.

Grow up.

After you, O' small being from Earth

I happen to stand at a towering 62 of your meters, which is quite large for my people. Only those of my race who have lived to see quadruple digits in their age are larger than I. If I grow up much further I will have broken even the records of my people.

Doesn't bug me any. I'd have to check, but don't crosses pre-date christianity anyway??

The roman torture device in question existed long before Jesus was supposedly crucified upon it.

I'm not criticizing cemeteries as memorials (would it amuse you if the earliest known types of ritual display of remains, the type of display that would become the cemetery, are thought to be much more like property markers?). In this case, just in this case, It would seem to me that we might want to throw a nice big building up as a giant "f u".

And sturdier this time, if you'll please
