Bloody @$#. I'll pay attention next time I'm in the cereal isle. I seldom pick anything lighter than brown. A lot on that isle gives me constipation so I only go for what I'm looking for and leave.

Rice Krispies with marshmallow bits was the best. All other answers are wrong.

No.

If the argument is that statues must be upheld for history reasons, then this example proves otherwise.

Despite the statue being of a anti-slavery activist, its historical value was not recognised.

The money used for that statue should rather be spent at schools or libraries or museums. People learn more there than some statue.

Well everyone half intelligent got the history lesson now. I'll normally read what or who a statue is if I happen to pass one.

Just because some thugs are unelectable, doesn't mean it is worthless for everyone else.

I read his arguments in its entirety and I agree with Devereaux, but there is a caveat. He goes into Egyptian and Greece mythology and practices and then establishes that statues have always been about commemorating values than to teach history. Then he supports the ills, by highlighting the tyranny which is enshrined within the Greek statues and that these ‘things’ belongs in a museum (or other ‘commemoration’ parks like where battles took place). To quote the moral question he made,

So when we are asking "should this statue stay up or should it go away" the question is not about 'heritage' OR if the person in the statue lived a perfect, saintly life. The question is, "what values does this statue express?" 14/22

and then he held the moral compass with the American South. Going into detail that statues aren’t about the people they depict, but about the values the person represents, he then concludes,

So when evaluating a statue, ask yourself, "What values was this statue created to communicate? Are they good values? Are they values I believe in?" And if the answer is "no" - remove that statue and replace it with one that *does* represent our values. end/22

I, 'we' and 'our', don’t share the same values. In a country like ours, the minority would have no values in this argument. I doubt ‘we’ in ‘our’ society see any good values in the Taal Monument and the Voortrekker Monument. This is the caveat, in the society Devereaux is making his argument, it is the minorities as a collective who are suppressed who are calling on removing statues. All you end up doing is erect new statues representing another group’s ‘moral’ standing, circles tend to go round and round.

Have any of the liberal myBB forumites offered to wash your feet yet? serious question.
 
So apparently we have a nice clear view of this Rayshard criminal being shot.
And would you look at that. Necessary force was used.
Good thing people burnt down the Wendy's for...reasons?

That's why I prefer no statues let's put those in museums not in public places, if people want to see them go see them.

Because you don't care, don't pay attention to them, but they still hurt your feelings. Lol
