  • This is awesome.

    This huge rock is located on Highway 25 in Iowa. The kids used to use it for obscenities, etc, but since it has been painted like this it has been left alone. Be sure to scroll down and look at all sides of the rock. Absolutely awesome artwork on it.

    Hmm, pretty cool, yes.

    But does anybody else find it odd that the "peace shall prevail" quote is accompanied by a fighter jet pilot, and a launching Tomahawk?

        I guess ya just can't please some people.
        In any case if the people trying to kill you are a smoldering pile of ash then it can be quite peaceful.

          What would you rather have? Some guy bending over spreading his asscheeks? Guess you don't understand or care about the sacrifices that were and are made so you can enjoy the freedoms that you have today.

                I'll leave it here for now,

                on the fighterjet etc point, maybe a pic instead of a rebuilding operation/handing out food aid - comfort etc... i.e. some of the not violent parts of being a soldier

                  Being a soldier involves hurting people. *shrug*

                  It's how these things work.

                  Perhaps those with a bizarrely naive worldview should just SHUT UP and let the rest of us enjoy the patriotic moment. Thanks.

                    The world isn't all black and white. WISHING for a better world (and wanting to express that) is not the same as believing the world IS all good.

                      Fine, maybe that's "freedom" (read: "us") prevailing, but it took war and violence to get there. Or are you saying War is Peace? I have a book for you if so....

                        War is sometimes a tool to bring peace.
                        Besides, nobody can argue that many technologies that were made for war were later used to save lives.
                        War in a way accelerates the evolution of technology.
                        And before you even ask it, if there wasn't a war (of any kind) to fight, we'd be sitting on our lazy ass doing much less than we do when we're on a mission.

                            War can be a means to an end.
                            IOW, yes, violence may be involved as a means, but the end result is more peace than than before the war started.
                            The World Wars are a good example of this. Was there total peace after either war? No. Was it better than before the wars, or the alternative, if the 'bad guys' had won? Yes. Just imagine the world today if the nazis had won WWII...
