Notre Dame cathedral fire

I'm very touched by this event, it's devastating to see a place so familiar burnt down, my parents almost lost their house in a fire last year and I had the same kind of sense of loss nagging me all night. I know we will rebuild it and move on but many original pieces are lost for good, which is very hard to accept.

I'm happy that I forced myself to visit this place with the kids early this year. Since it's easter I hope they hold a public mass next to the burnt building or at the chapel exceptionnally. I'm not parisian but phuck, it's hard to watch the place burning 🙁

No deaths...?

Whatever. I find this caterwauling quite amusing, though.

"Take that mass murderering fascist resource thief France" would be my take.

A prominent Mosque is also burning right Now. Im Sure it's not a retaliation at all...So far I'm enjoying this decline.

I don't have any patience for people who support France's colonialism in any shape or form, but celebrating the destruction of a 800 year old church not shapped by any of the current french abusers is just a blank empty statement of intellectual mediocrity.

We did mourn the destruction of Palmyra. I'm sad that you feel that any kind of historical destruction is a motive of celebration, but more power to you I guess.

I remember when I asked Robtard if the life of some crook trying to steal/damage an uber rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible (worth 3.5 million USD) was more valuable (meaning was shooting them to protect the car worth it), he said no, "It's just a car".

I guess this is "just a church".

Hell, he'd probably say the same thing for a '55 Jaguar D type which is worth more than 60 million dollars. To Robtard, it's not worth shooting a low-life crook over to protect a piece of history comparable to Notre Dame.

Anyway I remember being far more disturbed when ISIS destroyed ancient Sumerian temples and artifacts a few years ago. Nobody seemed to care about that (far more priceless in my mind given their age)

Anyway my money is on the yellow vest protesters. Doubtful it was just some dude who left a dremel plugged in.

Cos a car has the same historical significance as the building where Napoleon was proclaimed emperor and where Joan of Ark was declared a saint. 👍

Napoleon was such a little shit...

Brilliant in Time Bandits though.

Napoleon was a jerk and caused a bunch of death and dispair, but he did modernized France and was one of the first european rules to escape the dogma of kingship. Sadly history is full of those ambivalent situations because lasting peace is a relative novelty in modern history.

That was my poll. Every view gets a chance to vote, even deplorable ones.

I went to Paris in 2008, but never went into Notre Dame. I don't think we had time.

This is a real shame. 🙁

-While lovely cars, your pricing is off still.

-Lives are more important than property generally speaking.

-Not all lives are equally valuable. You > some pedo rapist

-Not all property has the same historical value. 800 year old church with several historical accolades > a very nice car.

-I mentioned the ISIS destroying ancient pre-Islam relics and lamented their loss.

Why the **** did my post disappear?

Seems a mod deleted the off-topic whiny rants of certain posters.

What did you write though?

Update: Seems the building is still structurally sound, so that will make the rebuilding process easier. Fire seems to have started in the attic and is being deemed accidental; not deliberate. All good news, considering.

I wrote about the Libturds in France feeling the Bern. A fair comment, by all accounts.

I was deleting off topic posts and accidentally deleted yours. My bad.

I'm sure the milleniums worth of child rape victims of the Catholic Church, one of the longest lasting terrorist organizations in history, are just apoplectic at the thought of a building burning. Oh the humanity.

Lives are more valuable than property to what extent? Is deadly force justified to stop a potential bomber from detonating the Notre Dame? Worthless property, sure, can easily be replaced but those with historical meaning, like this church or a car that won Le Mans, serve as a relic to be passed down to generations.

D-type jaguar is not "a very nice car" like some contemporary Ferrari. It has historical accolades of its own, hence why it is worth 60 million.

I don't remember the ISIS thing getting the same amount of attention as this fire (which fortunately didn't destroy the church beyond repair), whereas the ISIS turned statues to rubble.

Just looked, the last time a 55 Jag D sold was for 21.78mil, which set a record. But whatever, irrelevant.

In that scenario, yes, setting off a bomb is very dangerous to others and an act of terror and terrorist should be stopped with lethal force if need be. Killing someone because they want to steal a Plymouth? Not so much.

The 1955 Jag doesn't compare to Notre-Dame in historical accolades and value. Sorry.

I specifically mentioned that ISIS destroying these ancient relics was a very great loss to human history and I was not happy about it. I can only speak for myself.

wtf not? It's a clear cut representation of how far human engineering had developed for the time.

Notre Dame has what going for it again exactly? Joan of Arc wasn't even real, and Bonaparte was nothing more than your average dictator. The architecture is cool, so what?
