true talent and a good heart came to being in one body - the hands of that body turned it into art. your fellow from the otherside of the world.

yep. i literally despise it. it goes against everything i stand for with this nation. we may have vastly different views in terms of politics but man.. You're one heck of an artist. this piece rocks simply because once i saw it, i wanted to strangle the man who made it. It brutal, to the point, grabs someone by the balls and never lets go. you sir are a genius

This design has nothing to do with WW2, or Veterans even.

There's a great story about Alexander the Great when his brigade once captured a notorious pirate. Alexander asked the pirate: β€˜How dare you molest the people of the sea with your piracy?’ The pirate replied: β€˜And how dare you molest the entire world with your empire? I am called a thief because I do it with a little ship only. You do it with a great navy and you are called an Emperor.’

The question is: Where do we draw the line and who draws it?

if your talking about the coast guard, they check ships to make sure drugs and weapons do not breach our borders. They are protecting my freedom and yours too.

With this
Meaning has none for any can give it one
Interpret however they will, see what they will
The message may become lost due to arrogance, Distorted due to ignorance
But that fact remains that you made this and it will be forever yours, but know that the idea of it and the thoughts from it
will never belong to anyone.

I take from this aprehensively. I am not aware, what is meant, but I am drawn by the words and their flow, the image and its solidly familiar aspect,

but the corruption of symbols long held dear will be hard to bear for some, and a welcome change for others. Symbols are used to represent and idea, a people, a time, a place. We have changed, why hasn't our symbol?

okay, to be honest, i DO NOT like te skull you've put onto the flag instead of stars and stripes.

however, the whole piece is very nice, has a hidden meanings and other stuff. ideal for may wallpaper, but... would it be ok if i removed the skull?
