So....Rush...you are not advocating violence?

[pnorman]

3. Got it, and THANKS!

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. Nice, BUT the peace symbol is missing a part: Lore has it that

the semaphore signals for N and D (for nuclear disarmament) combine to make the peace sign.

[Ruricolous1]

37. I think the artist is making a new statement

Here is a link to the flag signaling page.

http://www.anbg.gov.au/flags/semaphore.html

The upside down V = N as in NO

Flag UP and Flag Down to our right = V as in Violence

Also Flag UP and Flag Down to our left = K as in Killing


Could they be saying?
"NO Violence or Killing"

Just a thought

Peace to You and Yours

[alfredo]

43. That was the original meaning, then it became a general

symbol for peace. I remember sitting next to a woman on a plane as I was on the way to basic training. She was wearing a "peace sign." I remember thinking that she is for nuclear disarmament. I was sympathetic to her cause. I remember thinking that I will be away from women for a long time, and I felt some regret.

[On the Road]

50. That Version of the Peace Symbol

was used during the 60s, in fact it's the first I remember seeing. It's out of fashion, but I wouldn't call it incorrect.

[Obamanaut]

52. I don't recall the inverted 'Y' being used as a peace symbol, and here

is one version of the history of the symbol:

Peace Symbol Created (1958):

http://history1900s.about.com/od/1950s/qt/peacesymbol.htm

"In 1958, British artist Gerald Holtom drew a circle with three lines inside, intending the design to be a symbol for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC). The design incorporates a circle with the lines within it representing the simplified positions of two semaphore letters (the system of using flags to send information great distances, such as from ship to ship). The letters "N" and "D" were used to represent "nuclear disarmament." <more at link>

54. I Didn't See One on an Image Search,

but here's a discussion I found on another message board:

http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=23978

Five posters including the OP confirmed the existence of this variation.

Sorry, pet peeve.

8. +1. nt

13. +1, but at least this one was homemade. nt

[WinkyDink]

14. The Merce sign is more symmetrical. Plus, this peace sign is missing an arm. Signs:

[alfredo]

44. It's missing an arm because it is a veteran of bush's wars.

[Synicus Maximus]

16. That was my first thought? What does Mercedes have to do with anything?

[eppur_se_muova]

39. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz ...

My friends all have Porsches, I must make amends.




How quickly we forget. :hippie:

[Jackpine Radical]

41. Lord, won't you buy me a color TV…

Dialing for Dollars is lookin' for me.

[rucky]

45. I'm willing to overlook this one.

their heart was in the right place.

Unless they really did mean Mercedes, which is quite possible.

[handmade34]

9. thanks

in my nostalgic mood today, reminds me of this:

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. Ohhhh..I remember that! Seems like yesterday.

Maybe that is what we need more of....yesterday.

[Mister Griswold]

17. Nostalgic?

It's on the back of my daughter's truck!

[niyad]

20. I used to wear that t-shirt whenever I knew the military recruiters were coming.

[Patchuli]

49. I wish it were not still so and actually even worse now....

My co-workers and I are facing the (now) yearly pink slip ceremony soon. Too bad it's not just nostalgic!

[Lisa0825]

10. I have a similar pic cropped and used as my FB profile pic for now.

I thought I'd leave it up for a week or so, and then go back to me.

[lib_wit_it]

31. Nice, but I'd reverse them, top/left vs bottom/right, to make the peace sign more prominent. Nice

red vs. blue choice.

[burrfoot]

42. But...

since we generally process left to right in western society, there's a nice continuity to it.....as if we were moving a slider along a scale from war to peace....

[lonestarnot]

19. Excellent!

[JoePhilly]

21. Here is my (very quick) bumber sticker version ...

Maybe we could turn something like this into a car magnet and have the proceeds all go to the families of those killed or wounded, or maybe to the hospital ...

[JoePhilly]

22. And this is a quick version of the GOP's approach to debate ...

I'll admit this one could be viewed as an attack on the GOP, but I think it reflects how they "see" those they disagree with. Through gun sights.

[verges]

29. Why would using

surveyors marks be considered an attack?

[B Calm]

23. A Mercedes sign????

[Electric Monk]

24. I like the sentiment, but... Peace sign FAIL.

[RufusTFirefly]

40. Agreed. We can do better than that

As another poster pointed out, if a Freeper had designed that sign we would've been hooting with laughter and derision. From a graphical standpoint, it's a great big typo.

[RoccoR5955]

25. Is it a word from CNN's sponsors? n/t

34. What meaning does an inverted 'Y' convey? nt

[CrispyQ]

35. See post 26, above. --nt

[Obamanaut]

36. I am familiar with the superimposed signals for the N and the D. If

the same erroneous signage were to be made/carried by a 'teabagger', we would call them a 'moran', but we seem to think this sign is simply awesome.

Why is that?

[rasputin1952]

38. Maybe it's because we don't see everything in black and white...

we understand the sentiment behind it, I guess we can just think outside of the box sometimes.

[avaistheone1]

47. K&R

:kick:

[Lindsey]

51. Awesome! n/t

[Brickbat]

53. Because it's a total fail?

Um, NO. It's a little embarrassing.

[cbc5g]

55. I wonder if we would have won the revolutionary war if people went with the top instead of the

bottom
