I posted this over on the Europe forum and wanted to hear from those of you over here too.

This has been going around and I wanted to know what you all think.

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.

Thank you, I get it.

Would some one also tell me what LOL is?
I am new here and do not understand it.

LOL is not just here.....been in existence almost since the start of the internet.......LOL is laughing out loud

Joanne, thank you.
Very nice of you.

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

Well I must be naive. Always thought LOL was 'Lots of Love'.

..... maybe I wish it were. Much kinder.
