what they want is a giant potato without eyes or notin at all
canadians will then think they're honoring Idaho
The insanity keeps on giving - when don't they (who moan and groan) take a long walk down a short pier.

Perhaps these women would prefer a relaxed version of 'The Stiffy at the Liffey'

I am sad to say that there are crazies even in my great country. They are people just looking for attention. I don't see anything wrong with this. I myself would rather see a wall of some kind. These are ladies that are mot getting what they should be getting at home.

Looks like it's the Irish who are being insulted. What is wrong with a permenant statue to Irish women and whois this group to say it's unworthy?

The comment of "Tim Whitmore" is very reflective and stands erect.

Just a pretext for anti-Irish and anti-Catholic bigotry, ancient racism and an old evil wearing a new dress.

Amazing display of intellect ...anything upright is a male member, and causes an arousal with these women?....and then there is people who after 2,000 years of human history think that their tiny spark of wisdom is sufficient to deem the cross as " not appropriate "....I am Amazed

THERE ARE NO PHALLIC SYMBOLS; ONLY PHALLIC MINDS.

A phallic symbol! This is
lunacy. By this womens' activist
group's definition most high
buildings in the world are
"phallic." Are trees phallic too? What about the Washington monument? Come now ladies, let's give rational thought a chance here - it might help your credibility.

I don't know of any pen8s that is square at the top. The structure is tall to accommodate the cross, right?
