Well, only a racist would celebrate them because of their racism. Good people might celebrate their accomplishments despite their racist actions, depending on their severity of the actions and on the greatness of the accomplishments.

Most confederate sympathizers I've known celebrate the confederate largely because it left and opposed the Union, not in spite of it. The see the absolute refusal to compromise as a merit. When ones biggest claim to fame is also their most infamous crime, it's difficult to reconcile or ignore.
I certainly agree, accurate history trumps sentiment, but history, particularly complicated and emotionally charged history is best represented in museums and text books, not celebrated with gaudy statuary in public spaces dedicated to a shameful part of our history and presented as if it were a proud chapter and these losers and traitors were really heros.

Good Gaudy Almighty! Stunning *quality *kids

I hate this device with every fiber of my being.

It's an ostentatious, gaudy and useless bauble built for privileged, elite parasites. It holds no value in any society. The unbelievable waste of technology and resources that has been diverted to the creation and acquisition of such an embarrassing canker brings shame on us all.

Anyone who purchases one of these monstrosities should have it strapped around their neck as they're paraded in front of the community that they embezzled their wealth from.

In a just society, these would be worn on the wrists of the underserved homeless people who dragged these oligarchs off the top of their pyramids and bludgeoned them in the gutter.

i think its cool that he doesn't have a big gaudy parachute. keeps it simple. i also think it would be amazing to stand on top of those buildings with no fear of falling. RE: music- i enjoyed it for the most part...

"Taken literally, the top 1 percent of American households had a minimum income of $516,633 in 2010 — a figure that includes wages, government transfers and money from capital gains, dividends and other investment income."


..Well then this 1% thing is bullshit.

The difference between $500k and $250m (romney) is more than 400 times bigger than between a working man's $40k and this so-called 'millionare'.

And of course Romney is small fry begging for the gaudiness of public office compared to the big boys. (And I dont mean Gates & Buffet and 'new money').

Guess it's more like 0.1%. or 0.01% or 0.001%.. Hey we're talking about 30 guys here! We need a list of names!!

yay! >> ^Opus_Moderandi:

I like it. (As if you were waiting for my approval.)

fat girls in small bathing suits with gaudy tattoos and dirty tomboy mouths are about as attractive as bill cosby in a sexy maid outfit eating jello pudding seductively. now if you'll excuse me, i have just had a cosby show fan art inspiration.

No wonder you don't have your crown yet! You keep giving away promotables!

Although I find it statistically interesting that you are in the top 15 Sifters OF ALL TIME with a mere Diamond. Which means that you care naughty for gaudy bits of color, and only post things that scream to the top with lots of votes. Your votes per vid stat must be through the roof!

Yes. I shall post immediately!

does he have a ..........golden microphone? gaudy

He really is kinda gay and out there. I actually like Limbaugh...I think he's hilarious at times and he's simply a very smart person and a good entertainer. Of course he's always wrong but that's not a real issue to me.



Yes it does...he's not a journalist anyways so no one should be concerned with what he says. I'm certainly not gonna care if he's racist or a bigot, I don't buy any of the products he advertises anyways so can't really boycott him.

Ooooh, So thaaat explains it.

Gaudy, vain and not very utilitarian. If someone made a statue of me like that, I'd burn it down too.

Let's see, $450,000,000 would buy 56 million MMR vaccinations, treat every case of malaria in Africa for a year, drill 150,000 wells for clean drinking water...

...or, you could have a badass yacht with missiles and lasers and stuff.

Alternatively, you could buy three F-22 jet fighters or 2/3 of a Stealth bomber.

The world is a weird place.

450 Million. Hmm I wonder how much Infrastructure and support service that could do undeveloped nations. Oh but he obviously needs another boat. Any Charity this guy gives however little it is compared to what he spends on himself, doesn't make him any better of a person, I am grossed out by such spending on such gaudy horrid atrocities.
