Roadside Memorials

[waupaca]

Serves no purpose for roadside memorials. People are not there and who wants to be reminded that a loved one died there.

Paca,

Im sure if it was one of your relatives you wouldnt be bringing it up, have some respect for some people that it actually means something to. Very ignorant of you to even bring it up, go find something else to nag about that won't hurt somebody's feelings.

NIMBY or the front yard either.

Actually it's a poll and topic for discussion on the main page of somd...

Well I dont care if it is a poll or not, it is still ignorant to bring it up, if families want to put something there for a while to remember their loved ones than so be it. Its not hurting anybody and helps them through the mourning process. Have some respect for the dead!

I have plenty of respect for the dead. It's the living that I can't stomach.

Is this comment to imply that you can't stomach yourself?

How about having some respect for the living? It is no more ignorant to bring it up than it is for you to complain that it was brought up. I don't want to see them. It is a custom from some European and Hispanic countries. We don't live there; they live here. If I lived in their country, I should respect their customs. They live in this country and, until recently, we do not put up roadside memorials.

You're too clever for me.

We pay taxes .I mean get real , Im sure u or some who has been with you in a car has thrown trash out .The day people stop throwing trash on the roads will be the day you can not be a hipocrite!! MY opinion

One time reply until you get your English skills together; your punctuation, grammar, and spelling are terrible. Learn to communicate intelligently.

I do not throw trash out of my vehicle window nor from a boat. I respect this world. I live in it and don't treat it as my personal trash dump. I also do not let others throw trash from my vehicle. We put the trash in a bag or the side pockets and clean them out and put the trash in a trash can later. So who is the hypocrite?

It hurts me to see dead stuffed animals and decaying balloons and cheap faded flowers abandoned on the side of the road. Won't someone think of the children?
If you truly respect the dead, honor their memory where they are buried. You don't see people leaving empty 40oz bottles and cans at the hospitals to remember their homies.
Then again, maybe your dead loved ones make you think of roadside trash. :shrug: That's not very respectful to their memory, is it now?

To attack a persons grammer and spelling is to be weak.No dainty dish pan fingers here. I asume u get the point!!!

To type your posts like a 14 year old moron is annoying. No banana fingers here. I assume you are retarded.
