The new WTC-Poll
 
I posted this over on the Europe forum and wanted to hear from those of you over here too. <BR> <BR>This has been going around and I wanted to know what you all think. <BR> <BR> http://members-http-5.rwc1.sfba.home...iffsparky/WTC/ <BR> <BR>I like it, as the bird is an american symbol in more ways than one.

What I think?...obnoxious, in poor taste, stupid, juvenile, disrespectful, unfunny......I could go on....

Well, I for one, like it if we have to absolutly rebuild there, since everyone says there is a shortage of space.

I don't get it. What is special about it?

Maria, Look harder and see if you can't fine a "bird" in those buildings.

Joanne, thank you. <BR>Very nice of you. <BR> <BR>As for the other idiot above, I have been working with the internet almost since it began and didn't know these. <BR>They are obviously something you americans use, as they are not used internationally. <BR>Don't get so upset, as americans are not the only ones on this board.

Rosemary Sep 20th, 2001 04:08 PM

Well I must be naive. Always thought LOL was 'Lots of Love'. <BR> <BR>..... maybe I wish it were. Much kinder.
