I've been there. Never saw that sign. Almost looks staged as if the photographer moved it there.

If they didn't see it, that's one thing. But even if they can't read english and still saw the sign, the sign is pretty obvious about not walking in the water.

You get offended pretty easily. Do you feel the same passion for others who get offended by various things in society?

I'm offended by your poor reading skills. Go back and play in your sandbox, boy.

It's not as if it's sacrilegious to step in water from a fricking fountain

You're missing the point. The WWII memorial is not meant to be a water park. It's intended purpose is to honor those who fought, sacrificed, and died in World War II. It's supposed to be a place of respect and quiet reflection of what the WWII vets did in service of their country.

Would you be fine with people ignoring this sign as well?

That's because you, like so many nowadays don't know the meaning or importance to show reverence and respect. I tried explaining it to you but I see now it's totally going over your head. You should have learned these things as a kid but obviously you didn't.

I know exactly where it is. I've been there. And if you ever go there and cannot sense that this is an area where you need to keep your trap shut and show respect for what that place stands for, then I've got nothing for you.
