The roof was built by felling 13,000 trees, so we'll be waving goodbye to 13,000 more. It would be nice if they could find a suitable substitute. Researchers have found that hemp-based fiberboards to be twice as strong as wood, but what with the timber industry playing an instrumental part in demonizing Hemp, there's little chance of that happening. It might not please the traditionalists but I'd suggest using a less flammable material for the new roof... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus a monumental cathedral burns down and you have to come on the thread and make it the same boring pish. I am going to haunt every pishola thread you start or enjoy.

thplinth Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 There is something very grim about this event. On a smaller scale I felt the same about the School of Art fire. They can rebuild them but... it feels like a real loss. When I think of all the horrendous crimes of the Taliban & ISIS it was when they blew up the giant Buddha statues / destroyed Syria's & Iraq's historical sites that shocked me the most, it is weird. All that scaffolding made the building very vulnerable but seeing the mainstream media report on this I get the strong feeling we are going to be told it was an accident even if it was arson. Apparently there has been a pattern of Church attacks in France leading up to this fire. French politician on Fox News raised it and immediately got shut down by that wank Shep Smith (i think he is called). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) As entirely plausible as it is i'd still be sceptical of this being a cultural attack by Islamic extremists IMO it's too much trouble for too little meaningful gain - it's more likely to embolden people against them rather than be in fear Edit - as i havent worded the second sentence as good as i could have - i know they want to stir up a war & retaliations etc Edited April 17, 2019 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 While it is possible the Newsweek article does not mention "Islamic" extremists. Maybe try reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
