    Re: Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

    I am glad to see it in person when I was only 20 in 1975

    Hard to believe after all this time this happened after centuries of existence and surviving world wars and other eras of conflict

    But I am glad it will be restored quickly with the sudden donations quickly given, hopefully within 3-5 years it will be reopened

      There is precedent for the French to take something glorious and to put a glass eyesore into it ....

      The Mail is a Poutrage site which loves to pull knucks' tails with stuff like this. I'm shocked they didn't claim the Muzzies are demanding minarets.

        Plenty of other righty outlets are, but you know that.

        They really should. Minarets are much prettier, and it's the same level of theological bullsh*t.

          Minarets are awesome but Chartres doesn't need them.

              I loathe this line of thinking. Forget that for centuries France was a military power. Forget that we owe our very freedom to the French navy. Forget that rather than dealing with a pesky band of rebels the English had other problems to deal with thanks to the French infantry. Forget that they fought gallantly to defend their homeland in the first war. Between the two wars France had dozens of governments. They ranged from incredibly far left to incredibly far right. Some governments only lasted days before they were replaced. There was a vacuum of leadership at the top, both political and militarily. Hitler couldn't have timed his attack better. French generals made plans to hold defensive positions only to be told by messengers that the spot they wanted to fall back to and defend was already overrun. Surrender was an acceptable choice simply on a humanitarian basis, never mind militarily. There were an awfully lot of French citizens who welcomed Hitler. You think right-wing politics and antisemitism only existed in Germany? There were also plenty of Brits who were eager for Hitler to invade England and get rid of Churchill and Parliament. And plenty of Americans, too. If the current misadministration had been in charge then we'd have fought alongside the Nazis...after all, they're good people.

              If you've ever visited the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre or any other French landmark then you don't get to say a word about them surrendering. Those sites simply wouldn't exist. And bbdl, don't bother reporting this post, I'm not deleting it.

                Listen to Hardcore History - Blueprint for Armageddon. That will definitely change any mind about France being a bunch of surrender monkeys.

                  Can we still call out their nicotine habits though?

                      The US surrendered all its civil rights after one attack and 3k casualties. France had 20% of its of age male population slaughtered in WW1, kept fighting, and stopped the Germans in their tracks.

                          You don't need civil rights anyway Kep. If you aren't doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide.

                                The Notre Dame Cathedral held the first mass since the fire.

                                Also, remember all those billionaires who pledged hundreds of millions of Euros to the rebuilding effort. You won't believe this, but they've reneged on the pledges. Weird, I know. They got tons of great publicity in the wake of the fire and now that the bill is due and no one is paying attention they have all mysteriously lost their wallets. Almost a billion was pledged but less than $18 million has been received. 90% of those donations have come from the United States.
