The Statue of liberty....it's world renowned to be associated with america and freedom and stuff. but the funny thing is....it's not american made.


The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the french. Doesn't anybody think it's weird that one of the greatest symbols of america isn't american?

just some food for thought.

i don't think it's weird at all. Freedom is freedom regardless of where it's from. It's an american symbol made in part by the french (yeah the base was made in america i believe), simple as that.

this is so not debate forum material. I just stated that the statue of liberty is a french engineered monument and how it's wierd that it's a symbol of the US

a symbol does not have to belong to the creator. I really don't know what is so odd about this. It's a gift,...that's it.
