New Orleans To Remove Excremental Rebel Monuments

[DC Tom]

You forgot the charges of racism. Never forget the charges of racism.

 

And recycling other people's insults.

And recycling other people's insults.

Yes, you idiot and !@#$ing moron.

[Azalin]

 

Quite honestly, following along with his arguments is the easiest, most predictable part of what he does here.

 

1) Make an idiotic comment like "No one in Europe has ever owned a gun. Ever."

 

2) When asked to prove his point, tell everyone that the onus is on them to prove him wrong.

 

3) Get proved wrong by everyone.

 

4) Attempt to change the idiotic comment while explaining that no one understands what he's saying.

 

5) Get called out for #4.

 

6) Yell "obfuscation."

 

7) Get mocked by everyone for yelling "obfuscation."

 

8) Yell "right wing circle jerk."

 

9) Wait for birdog or ...lybob to come to his aid.

 

10) Tell everyone he was only kidding.

 

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

 

 

You forgot the charges of racism. Never forget the charges of racism.

 

 

 

And recycling other people's insults.

 

Like I said - Pajama boy.

Interesting article, not the perfect thread for this but fitting: 3D Scanners race to monuments before terrorists blow them up.

Should just turn this into the "We hate Gator thread!"

I just saved you a boatload of time. You can thank me later.

No one hates you. Hating your lies, trolling, and general asshattery doesn't mean anyone hates you. People laugh at you, for entirely deserved reasons, but no one has said they hate you.

 

Yet again you prove that you're incapable of making a conclusion that isn't based on fantasy and your own interpretation of events -- which we've seen is wrong far more often than not.

Hate requires caring enough to have an emotional reaction.

 

I couldn't possibly bring myself to care less one way or the other about gatorman. I simply observe that he's a liar and a fool.

Put me down in this category.

 

I can appreciate that some of you want to play with him,

 

but I never could see the attraction of "trying to prove" something to a poster who is obviously incapable of anything beyond simplistic thought.

We have a whole board for thar.

 

I don't hate you. I just don't take you seriously.

[Tiberius]

Gatormans bad, blah blah, blah

[TakeYouToTasker]

Gatormans bad, blah blah, blah

No, just a liar and a fool. I'm far too indifferent to cast judgment on you as "bad".

[DC Tom]

Gatormans bad, blah blah, blah

You're too stubbornly stupid to be "bad."

"Catastrophe" say experts after seeing Palmyra museum

 

The museum was trashed and some of its best-known artifacts and statues were smashed by the militants, who cut off the heads and hands of statues and demolished others before being driven out last month.

Bartosz Markowski, from the Polish Archaeological Center at the University of Warsaw, told The Associated Press that most of the 200 objects which were exhibited on the ground floor of the Palmyra museum were destroyed, many of them apparently with hard tools like hammers. Many artifacts have been stolen, he added, though it was not possible to know how many.

He and his colleagues were the first specialists to visit Palmyra after it was taken over by the Syrian army, and spent a week working and assessing the damage.

"We collected everything we could. The fragments were spread around the whole museum among broken glass and furniture ... It is a catastrophe," he said, speaking to the AP in the garden of the National Museum in Damascus.

CBS News' Elizabeth Palmer was one of the first journalists to assess Palmyra's damage after ISIS was forced out. She noted that two of the best preserved temples had been blasted to bits. A historic lion's statue had been toppled and badly defaced.

During their rule of Palmyra, the extremists demolished some of the most famous Roman-era monuments that stand just outside the town, including two large temples dating back more than 1,800 years and a Roman triumphal archway, filming the destruction themselves for the world to see. The sprawling outdoor site, a UNESCO world heritage site, as well as the museum were among Syria's main tourist attractions before the civil war.

Absorbed by Greater DC, Alexandria Starts Scrubbing Southern Past

 

As the federal government grows, so does the Debt Star. It is expanding quickly into Virginia, which will soon become more a suburb of Washington than any recognizable part of the South. As territory is conquered, the region’s history is scrubbed:

In a town that once took considerable pride in its Confederate past, the Alexandria City Council voted unanimously Saturday to change the name of Jefferson Davis Highway and seek permission from the Virginia General Assembly to move a renowned statue of a Confederate soldier in historic Old Town. …

After a lengthy public hearing, the council agreed to try to relocate the “Appomattox” statue from the busy intersection of Prince and Washington streets, where thousands of motorists pass it each day. The pensive and unarmed south-facing Confederate soldier would be moved to a local history museum on the same corner.

 

 

 

…and from there to the city dump, when no one who might defend Virginia’s heritage is paying attention.

 

 

Removing Confederate monuments over the second half of the last century was just a test. In the 21st century, they have begun removing American monuments that have nothing to do with "the racist South".

So defeat of Indians was bad and their history must be cherished and preserved?

 

Defeat of southern states was good, and their history needs to be removed and irradicated?

 

Knowing which histories and cultures I'm supposed to hate is so confusing.

All thoughts of individual freedom and liberty will be greatly discouraged. And private property rights? Merely discussing that in public will be criminal.
