What good is a cultural and historical monument to people who insist on destroying that history and culture?

@ManAnimal True.

I'm not ignoring

@Cadbal why can't we find all of it terrible

lol

What good is rebuilding a THING if you can't PROTECT that thing?

I just cant shed a tear for every death in the world

indeed nat, or maybe none of it terrible

wasnt hte notre dam fire an accident anyway

lol fuck off

it's all terrible

no "or maybe" about it

whether accidential or not is completely irrelevant

people were HAPPY to see it burn

too many people

Surprised the frenchies didnt manage to burn down more historical monuments on accident prior to this

and i criticised them when i saw them too

i was angry at people that memed it the same day too

if we can't even tell those people expressing glee to go fuck themselves, what hope do we have of physically preventing the thing being destoryed?

If you can't protect an IDEA or a PRINCIPLE, you cannot protect a thing

its all good to laugh in the face of death, same as the 9/11 shit, gotta laugh at it all, we're only here for a little while

if the cathedral can get a new roof sometime soon, if they recovered the artifacts, all is well. But the 33 people that died to an arson cant un-die

i don't think it is 'good to laugh' in the face of death

that is a coping mechanism

better than holding it all in

but not the best approach

they did recover the historic artifacts in the cathedral itself at least

its an approach, same as any other

everyone has their own ways of dealing with it

true

shame about the roof but what can you do about it now apart from build a new one

i guess i get frustrated that so few people don't understand that the STATE is not your mother, father, grandparents or elders

it does you no favours

there is the State and your community, our collective community which makes up the public square

and the State is held accountable by the community

take away that community, and the State tries legislating morality

such a simple concept

so if we can't come togehter as a community and AGREE that history and culture of the past is IMPORTANT, should be PRESERVED and anyone expressing glee or distain wanting to destory these things is WRONG, then what hope do we havve?

those are the people that DESERVE ridicule and shame

I dont know why the boomer is going muh state right now when whats done is done with the notre dam fire and the only thing to do now is to move forward and fix the damn cathedral. Not bulldoze it and make it a giant mosque like the degenerates hooting and hollering the whole time during it burning was going on about

Okay MA.....we all know you want to dethrone Telly as "that one dude who creates paragraph after paragraph, while talking to nobody...."
