Currently taking place at Watson Walmart. After numerous attempts to alert drivers from flashing lights to concrete borders surrounding the famous stop sign, this landmark falls victim once more.



Original famous thread of past hits and no run.

Actually it’s not.
Primarily working middle class and majority of the population, well the graph explains it better.

It sad to say they might need to paint the pole this neon orange with lights that flash 24 hours a day to highlight this sign.

Just move this thing to the border. No wall needed.

That kind of pole would have been handy in 1939 versus Germany or the Soviet Union.

Damn.
From the pic, I’d have guessed a majority female oriental driving population.

That whole area should be concrete. Who's trying to protect that patch of grass?

It’s always been concrete not grass. They put the concrete border around the stop sign to help prevent another stop sign tragedy. Didn’t work.

bullshite.

We don't need to change every damned word in our language because we think that it must have a negative connotation because our grandparents used to say it.

The term "Oriental" comes from way back in the day when maps were originally drawn with the East at the top of the map. If one wanted to view the map in the traditional "right side up" orientation then they'd have to orient the map with East to the top. Hence the use of the term Oriental to describe people from that part of the world. As our knowledge of the eastern world grew and moved farther east, then so did the people associated with the term - naturally the end point would be once the Pacific Ocean was reached and there was no farther eastern populations.

Also, most of the English speaking world, outside of the crazy liberal-centric politically correct movement of the US, uses the term Oriental. Just because some anti-Vietnam War hippies in the 70s claimed that something was racist, doesn't make it so. Stop caving to the PC movement's insane whims.
