Bob Williams I wonder what a 'shrink' would say about people that see homosexuality in this sculpture.... I made no references to homosexuality in my original post. You were the one who injected homosexuality. If you see a problem, look in the mirror. I guess you didn't look at the image. There are two people in the picture, and both of them are male, so if there is a pedophile in the photo, it is homosexual one, is it not? I saw incest too. ;-) I find it strange that two kids of quite different apparent ages would wear the same type/style of clothes unless they were related. And that bloke with the sandals and knee length shorts adjusting his spectacles looks a bit of a shady character, and as for the pervert taking the picture well what can one say except lock'em all up ;-) Totally agree. The shooter is a total loser. BTW, don't forget to shoot a filter shot for the Shoot-In! |

When I posted this image, I did so to see what type of reaction it provoked. I offered no opinion of my own. None. Despite that, a number of posters have injected many meanings, and have assumed that I offered some meaning in my original post. I did not. I posted merely to provoke and see what happened. And look what happened! Aaaah! The very definition of a successful and worthy troll :-) You know, you are not supposed to admit that sort of thing. Geez, I wouldn't classify this as a troll. It's not like I said all Nikon users are elitist snobs or anything, is it? Just having a little fun with the locals, that's all. Geez, you really need a vacation. Hell, I took the pic while I was on vacation. Can't afford another one right now, unless you'd care to take up a collection from the newsgroup regs. I'm betting it'd be a total waste of time. Besides, I bet I can find something else absurd on my next vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Not to worry, I'll post that one, if it happens, as well. I got one right here... http://i39.tinypic.com/jfj1h1.jpg A few years back when Clinton was visiting Martha's Vineyard, the running gag was this: Bad news: The Clintons are coming to the Vineyard. Good news: Ted's driving. |

Bob Williams I wonder what a 'shrink' would say about people that see homosexuality in this sculpture.... "Homosexuality"?!? I don't know what you see, but that is clearly a girl holding a younger boy (little brother?) up to get a drink from the fountain. I find the clothes too similar to be a boy and a girl, the older girl seems a little flat chested but that could be because 'she' is young, but those shoes don;t lok like young girls shoes, and the smaller child lokos quite tall enough to be able to take a drink from the fountain themselves. that's not the point, it's obviously about how close they are. The shoes thing, heck, never heard of kids wearing tough clothes because, well, they're kids... hardly going tree climbing in a pair of heels :O) -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

What's wrong is that our current society is teaching everyone to see the evil in every damn thing that they see or hear. And that's what I wanted to see. I showed this pic to a few friends, and all of them had the same reaction; WTF? It's just a couple of kids. You can read into it what you want, and apparently, provide a glimpse into our minds. To me, it represents better days when a sister or friend would not hesitate to help another in this manner. It truly sucks that today, the first thing that people scream is PERVERT when someone touches another person. And you win the prize! Totally agree. BTW, loved Beaufort and SC. Thinking of retiring down there and getting the hell out of Massachusetts. I guess it was because it was North Carolina, but my first thought was that it symbolized desegregated drinking fountains. I wouldn't have thought that if there hadn't been an agenda suggested by the post. There is a Beaufort NC, but this one is in SC. Besides, they pronounce them differently. Unfortuntely, the pronunciations don't come across clearly on usenet. There are differences between North and South Carolina, and I do know one from the other. As far as segregated drinking fountains in the past, though, they were the same. we had segregation in the UK when I was a kid... boys and girls had to use different toilets. -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

"whisky-dave" wrote Do we know the name or title of this statue or the name of the sculpture/artist whatever. When this thread started I did a Google and Google News search for Beaufort SC, and visited the Beaufort Library website (which appears to be way out of date) and there is no mention of this statue or the exhibition it is part of. Nothing on the Manzi site the photo comes from gives any clues, or confirms exactly when the shot was taken - it might be years old for all we know. Bowser, can you shed any light? However, from the lack of news links or Blogs on the subject, it would seem only visitors to this newsgroup saw anything suspicious or noteworthy about the statue! Bowser added: Man, tough audience! You got that right! Paul |

Bowser, can you shed any light? it looks awfully like a piece of public art which has been around for a while, a part of the town, so to speak. on trying to discover the artist etc I found this page, sure to raise some smutty comments ho ho but the theme seems to be quite common http://www.bronze-depot.com/catalog/...ry.asp?catid=3 -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

The fourth row down on the left. It's not the same sculpture, but it's the same artist or an intentional copy of his style of work. |
