I don't understand these things:
1) Ok, I can kind of understand the roundabout logic that some people
would confuse a peace sign as a means of protesting Iraq, well not really,
but...
2) ...how can people confuse a peace sign as part of some Satanic ritual?
3) There is a appointed committee in the subdivision to rule on this sort
of thing, and they ruled that it was merely a Christmas decoration. So
how do you fire them all for making that ruling?

It's important to remember that in general religious people are dumber
then the average population and are easily persuaded towards nonsense.
Added to the fact these people are dumb enough to live in Denver and it
all starts to make sense.

WOW! You managed to read "Iraq War" and "Bush" in my presentation of
the facts of why some might find the "Peace" symbol in that wreath
offensive as a satanic symbol!! You lib-tards have an amazing clarity
of vision. Can't wait to see how you're going to save us all from the
terrorists, fix the ?broken? economy and get our soldiers home from
Iraq immediatly while maintaining 'peace' in the middle east.

Actually it's the Republicans that think political parties govern.  That's the
way it is in some countries, England as an example.  It's not the way our
constitution structures the government in the US.

Bush is still President.  He's still responsible for foriegn policy.  Congress
is responsible for oversight.  The change in the power in Congress doesn't mean
a change in policy, it means a change in whether Congress fulfulls its
obligation for oversight of a President who seems to still not understand that
we're supposed to be a nation of laws.

Actually, I beleive they were referring to it as a Satanic symbol.

Some believe that, because the origin of the peace sign was a broken
Cross,
sybolizing a 'peace' that was simply the lack of confontation, without
clarification
or understanding of right and wrong, and that this representation is
decidedly
anti-Christ like.

Long enough to have written that sentence in such a way to clearly express the
idea.

But my guess is that you don't have the itellectual capacity to understand the
point I was making.

That's okay though.  I never expected my audience to incorporate everyone who
passed 2nd grade reading classes.

Christ was a fan of peace in some circumstances (heterosexual white men who pay
taxes).  But, he was never a fan of peace symbols.  The satanic nature of of the
public display of such symbols goes back to those commandments.  I forget which
one, probably the first. 

After all, this is a christian nation.  You can tell that because there's an
exact correspondence between the number of commandments and the number of
constitutional amendments among the first ten.  That's a clear sign that
anything that might represent conflict with door decorations and the wishes of
God as expressed through our President is satanic.

I'm sure Jesus would be really proud of the Iraq war. Isn't he the one
who told Bush to invade?

No, it was the Father.

They are the same, but they are seperate.  Identical but distinct.  Seperate but
equal.

Don't try to understand it, it's too complicated for normal mortals.  Only
leading republicans have been exalted to a level that allows understanding of
the workings of God.  And Leiberman, he's right up there too.  Except he doesn't
have to worry about the seperate part.

The communists popularized this symbol in the 60s. They know exactly where
it comes from.

Also, the so-called 'peace sign' that is a 'V' from a 'clenched fist'. Very
significant. The clenched fist too!

You do understand and you are correct.

People confuse lots of things. They also say "I am confused" or "I don't
understand" when they actually are not confused or lacking understanding.

I suspect we have not heard the whole story. However, the "legalities" of
this one appear confusing. The legal questions probably are not centered on
the power of the "president" of this homeowners association and whether he
has the power to appoint or dismiss ("fire" is an interesting word to use in
this context) members of committees.

I wonder whether political campaign signs are "allowed" in this subdivision?
This would present an actually interesting legal question.

They're right, you are confused.

Where'd the so-called 'peace sign' come from? Did they just make it up? I
am not surprised that a youngster like Zidane doesn't understand. I'd
expect Pickle to know that that sign is rooted in evil.

I am not confused, Paul. I did not say that I was confused. The OP asked
how people can be confused. Many people are confused. Many people say they
are confused when they are not confused. Some really are confused. Hard to
sort it out sometimes.

Lots of signs and symbols started their existence in one way and got adopted
by others. I doubt that the wreath in question is intended to be some sort
of "evil" sign one way or the other. I suspect it is, however, a "peace"
sign intended to convey a disapproval of the war in Iraq no matter what
anyone "says" about being confused. I would certainly allow such a
reasonable display in my neighborhood, but then I am not the president of
the local neighborhood association ... come to think of it, I do not live in
a neighborhood at all and I can put whatever I want on my door ... I choose
not to decorate my home with political symbols or religious symbols or
secular symbols. I got for birdhouses and duck and goose boxes for my
"neighbors."

Oh, then you're saying that it only matters what this particular resident
knew of the so-called' peace sign? Then by that logic, it would be alright
if he had hung up a swastika in the mistaken belief that it is some kind of
a new 'freedom' sign. Zeig heil, and Merry Christmas, uhh, Rudolph.

I'm sure you'll argue with me on this. But I have to go to work now. I
have crops to harvest. Some people have to WORK around here y'know, uhh,
Pickle! Anyway, instead of typing in a twenty paragraph response to me
right now, one that I will not be able to reply to, why not take the time to
research and un-confuse yourself.

Btw, they have PEACE in Vietnam now.

I am saying what I thought the resident thought. Didn't seem like much to
get excited about to me. People get excited about stuff that I think they
should not get excited about all the time. Maybe it helps their blood
pressure. I am pretty mellow.

What's this shit? You just repeated yourself. Why are you repeating
yourself?

Would you be MELLOW about someone decorating a swaztika with some holly and
