By the arguments being proffered here, no one would have acted as patrons to artists, because the money would have been better spent elsewhere. Sorry Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, yer as well off starve there lads or go off and get a job. Why? Because great art doesnât deserve assistance from those who are willing to offer it, weâre being shamed into spending it elsewhere.
So you think the simpletons should pay for it?
A question answered with a question.
Youâve no balls
Has anybody said âgas cuntsâ yet?
No antisemitism please.
Thinking that was a reference to Jews is anti-Semitic
Who I think should fund it is irrelevant to that my view that youâd have to be a simpleton to donate to repair it.
Youâre not getting this, nobody but Spurs are paying for the stadium, you donât seem to understand what has me commenting,
Itâs simple and Iâve made it clear, if people wish to donate to something then this is a bit silly
Yeah thatâs the great thing about all of this.
These lads reveal their lack of vision for the world, but also reveal their own hypocrisy.
I saw this referenced a bit yesterday;
Standing in front of the Notre Dame cathedral, Clark asks, âWhat is civilization?â He says he canât define it in abstract terms, âbut I think I can recognize it when I see it.â He then turns to the cathedral, and says, âIâm looking at it right now.â
I asked you who should seeing as you called them simpletons.
Otherwise I assume you have no interest in it being rebuilt.
Yes, a billionaire owner is paying for the stadium. Why doesnât he spend that money on charity, its an absolute disgrace. And the people who buy tickets and merchandise and TV subscriptions are funding that billionaire too, so they are also a disgrace
Thatâs bidness tho, not charity âŚ
Does that make it better?
Well people are reacting to donations â bidness is different. But essentially the same - people are free to do as they like with their money but they are also open to commentary from others - thatâs life.
Notre Dame is certainly a beautiful building of immense historical significance and worthy of restoration but to say it is a monument to âcivilisationâ is incredibly blinkered - there was little civilised about 12th and 13th century Christianity and Christianity for many centuries afterwards.
âŹ487,365 is the figure from Ireland so far
I was expecting double that tbh, Ireland is a great country for digging deep when the need is greatest.
Thankfully we arenât a Catholic country anymore.
