No, I think that money could have been put to much better use helping Parisians, or France as a whole, living in Poverty. I'm sure Notre Dam had an insurance policy to cover the renovations.Chizz said:Stu_of_Kunming said:

That's right. And nobody said "it's awful that an historic building is in ruins, I hope no-one is injured or killed". And I know you can see that those two comments in quote marks were intended as paraphrasing comment, not verbatim repetition.ValleyGary said:
Right, so nobody said "it's so unfair that I can't say unpleasant things about Muslims". Cheers.Chizz said:

Who's said that?Chizz said:It's taken less than two days to go from "it's awful that an historic building is in ruins, I hope no-one is injured or killed" to "it's so unfair that I can't say unpleasant things about Muslims".
It's so far removed from the subject of the thread that it is, itself, ridiculous.
Hopefully, all contributions to the refund cost will be welcomed, whatever their source. (That's to get the thread back on track).
Do you think that all communities in France that make contributions to the rebuild should be lauded equally? (Getting the thread back on track. Again).
Do you think Muslims - and all other members of French society - should be lauded for contributions to the rebuild fund? I do.
The Parisian I work with was furious today, as he believes there are literally a million better uses for this money, after listening to him I could only agree.3 -

I think I made my opinion on religion fairly clear on the previous page:
It's a bunch of crap and should be mocked equally.

that would be illegal and they would be punished.Chizz said:
Would you concede that some billionaires pay less tax than they are required to?MrOneLung said:
So Billionaires are not subject to income tax, national insurance, council tax and VAT and prescription charges and opticians charges and dental charges then ?Wheresmeticket? said:MrOneLung said:
why ?Wheresmeticket? said:It was and is a massive part of the heritage of France and of Europe. It symbolises the faith of millions and also the culture of the country, that's why people are so upset, it isn't about a building.
However, absolutely right: ordinary people suffer calamity with no recognition at all, or a few weasel words in the papers or on the news. Billionaires should be having money forcibly removed to provide safe housing and other essential services, rather than being able to choose where they are going to "donate" their ill-gotten gains for maximum kudos. In my opinion, obviously.
How about we forcibly remove funds from you to pay for other people less fortunate than you?
This already happens. it's called income tax and National insurance and council tax and VAT and prescription charges and opticians charges and dental charges.

No. Trying to get the thread back to Notre Dame. I don't always agree with everything everyone posts, and in this case, I was looking to find some common ground with @Stu_of_KunmingWSS said:

France is to invite architects from around the world to submit their designs for a new spire to sit atop a renovated Notre-Dame cathedral.
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe told reporters they hoped for "a new spire that is adapted to the techniques and the challenges of our era".
