god, like jews don't have enough bad press about being money grubbers. at least when al sharpton extorts money people have the decency to call him a crook.


[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, I'll bite I guess. Exactly which jews are you calling crooks and why?
Also, define "crook" in this context.
I think you're way off base here.

600k would buy 6 more super duper Hummers for troops in Iraq. I say buy 6 more super duper Hummers and the hell with the Jews who make up less than 1% of the world's population.

to hell with the troops. They make up less than .02% of the world's population.

Also, saving many hundreds of innocent starving humans 100% of the time this money is donated is better than POSSIBLY saving some soldiers who may be engaging in questionable activity (or maybe not), or who may use the vehicle to kill other innocent people.

It seems to me if I go around saying, hey, you, your building is a funny shape, give me money or I'll slander you in some way, that is pretty crooked.

but what I meant is that al sharpton and jesse jackson "shake down" corporations all the time, but at least some people like in the press at least come out against such thuggary when the "black lobby" (which is racist or whatever itself, I mean jesse jackson does not speak for most or really many black people) does it, but no one ever says a bad word about jewish organisations who do the same thing.

I thought we already sent $30 billion to Jews this year?

Can't we wait until next year?

I assume it is inadvertant. If it wasn't I would probably change my suggestion.

Why? This seems completely irrational to me. We can spend 600k to:

1) Alter the shape of a building with an offensive shape which can only be seen from the air.

2) Do something productive

It would be a different story if the shape of the building were readily visible to passersby or if it had a swastika lawn sculpture, but this is a "problem" that hardly anyone will ever see.

The point is that the shape of a building is arbitrary, but the donation could theoretically do some actual good.

[/ QUOTE ]
The feds already give charities billions of dollars a year to do social work.

[ QUOTE ]
You know 600,000 is worth some actual amount of human lives right?

[/ QUOTE ]
I never thought I'd say this, but most of the posts here commit the broken window fallacy. If none of you are worried about the symbolism, then we would have to look at whether it would be better to spend the money on A. Trees, B. Jewish charities or C. Whatever else the navy would spend the money on.

Right...?

There are quite a few Navajo rugs and sand paintings that have a "rolling log" figure, which is a reverse swastika.

My dad is still active in ADL. Let me see if I can get him to speak to some people who might have some pull.

[/ QUOTE ]

The whole thing could turn into a nice little symbolic media event. The Navy presents a check (possibly for less than 600K) to some Jewish charities and the Holocaust museum. And the building itself gets some kind of plaque commemorating "rational remembrance". Or something along those lines.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dunno about that. It seems too much like a payoff for offending Jews, and that will just turn into a big free for all if you think about all the other things that govt might have done to offend various groups. And the party receiving the check would look like race hustlers, similar to Jesse Jackson.

if you don't see the difference between giving food/medicine to children and giving weapons of war to people whose job it is to kill, then we don't have anything to talk about.
