I value the destruction of history.
Checkmate, Buddhists. Your precious statue you were so attached to was actually impermanent.
>>18506474Nah, you are just a homegrown cynic with no hopes or values, living for a superficial joy of cheap provocation. You are basically no longer human, but a product. In your case (many such cases) das Sein bestimmt das Bewusstsein.
>>18506499To be less than human would be desirable in my opinion.
>>18506474Are you sure objects are history?
>>18506478You’re brown
>>18506761Yes
>>18506474Reminder>"When the Afghan head council asked them to provide the money to feed the children instead of fixing the statues, they refused and said, 'No, the money is just for the statues, not for the children'. Herein, they made the decision to destroy the statues"
>>18506773>Rahmatullah Hashemi is reported as saying: "When the Afghan head council asked them to provide the money to feed the children instead of fixing the statues, they refused and said, 'No, the money is just for the statues, not for the children'. Herein, they made the decision to destroy the statues"; however, he did not comment on the claim that a foreign museum offered to "buy the Buddhist statues, the money from which could have been used to feed children".[56]>however, he did not comment on the claim that a foreign museum offered to "buy the Buddhist statues, the money from which could have been used to feed children"Why did you leave that part out, faggot?
>>18506773did the afghan head council also said that he was an anti-bad people and the statue worshiper were bad people?
>>18507056How exactly do you "buy" a 20 ton statue? Do you ship it with Amazon?
>>18506773muhammedans were bombing and shelling these statues for centuries. They don't give a fuck about any children except to use them as an excuse.
>>18506474Buddhists lost control of these territories which gives Muslims the right to erase their presence. Don't lose ground next time.
>>18506763Too retarded to get the joke award.
>>18507162Did the US ship a chunk of Cuba when they bought and keep paying for Guantanamo Bay? Or are you literally retarded?
>>18507258They neither bought nor pay for Guantanamo since the Cuban government has never accepted payment. Guantanamo is under US military occupation.
>>18507264>They neither bought nor pay for Guantanamo since the Cuban government has never accepted payment.Not my problem
>>18507268OK so now that we both agree your example had nothing to do with the question, will you answer it? How was "buying" the statues supposed to work?
>>18506474The thread implies these statues were destroyed by an iconoclastic chimpout but they were actually demolished as protest against westerners funding these statues while afghani children were starvingEven in buddhist doctrine itself it is a homy duty to smash objects if innocents are suffering
>>18507271They bought the statues. Legally it would be their property so the Afghans couldn't do anything about it. They could erect fences, towers, snipers around it and the Afghans couldn't do anything about it. You know that you can own property while not being physically attached or physically distant to said property, right?
>>18507277So why in the everliving fuck would the Afghans agree to something so stupid? Just for some quick payoff?
>>18507273A what duty?
>>18507279Well if it was really about buying food for starving children, I think they would've been happy to accept millions of dollars for some crumbling stone and stucco they didn't give two shits about. But you and I know that for them it wasn't really about dem keedz.
>>18506478This is some finely crafted bait.
>>18507280A holy one sir
>>18506773that whole story behind it's destruction is a fascinating tale, many people say different things. But perhaps there isn't a God that watches over us, as we value cultural-heritage made of mud and stone, over the lives of those we deem backwards and insignificant.Giant stone sculptures aren't my taste, i feel the same about sphinx, but I wish they had endured as a legacy of a great historic civilization (gandhara).
>>18507264Maybe they should have accepted the money and improved Cuba instead of keeping it a shithole then
>>18507332...the "rent" is $4000 a year
>>18507334Maybe they should've negotiated a better deal
>>18507273Why don't they destroy the Kabba since spending money on keeping it restored could go to children?
>>18507342Children in KSA are not starving while the Kaaba maintenance gets massive foreign funding. False correlation
>>18507350All that forign funding could instead go to helping children instead of the Kabba though. It is no different to how forigners wanted to pay to maintain the statues.
>>18507334Would you give up $4000 a year? The "protest" has done absolutely nothing so throwing away free money then crying about being poor is their own fault.
>>18506474destroying history is history
uh oh what have those pashtun boyfuckers done now
>>18507360Accepting any money legitimizes the idea that the area is being rented and not occupied. Imagine a guy with a gun taking over one of your rooms and you accept $2 a month in "rent" from him. It's like when Beria raped women and then gave them flowers at gunpoint to make it a "date"
>>18507395Maybe they should have fought harder
>>18507279>implicitly concedes it was never about the kids lol
>>18507399OK so you admit the rent is a stupid PR stunt and it was always about military strength?
>>18507400It was never about the kids for either side of this. Western eggheads would sacrifice 10,000 Afghan children to recover some wooden dildo
>>18507413It's not a PR stunt, it's literally in their agreement. Cuba is just acting like niggers.
>>18507417>agreement signed by a government under active US military occupationAbout as legitimate as the referendums in Ukraine
>>18507416life is cheap in afghanistan, plus they'd end up sodomizing half the boys anyway
>>18507395>Accepting any money legitimizes the idea that the area is being rented and not occupiedNo. Cuban's not doing anything about it and the international community being at best sympathetic while a majority are apathetic legitimizes America's lease on the land.
>>18506773zuttsluts logic is hilarious. >>18507166exactly this lol>>18507273>Even in buddhist doctrine itself it is a homy duty to smash objects if innocents are sufferingyou made that up, no such thing. destroying statues won't feed kids. brownoid iq.
