I just think its a shame that such a beautiful building that's been there for 850 years has been damaged so badly. That's about it., no more no less. I'd feel the same if it were Big Ben. Notre Dame is a lovely building and these things always amaze me in that they were built using maths and paper and graft (oh and the odd bit of slavery of course).
Whereas today we don't half build some drab things. Where's the gargoyles, cornices, spires, and all that stuff?
It'll get rebuilt.
I did think about the destruction of relics though - now that relic business is some hokum for sure. Bit's of Christ's cross? The crown of thorns?? Hmm, right. Tales of tallness there, I think.

I think he's 100% correct, and it's going to be a damn shame when London is replete with shitty Shard copies across it's skyline.
Dour oppressive buildings that fundamentally shift people's attitudes towards their surroundings, causing crime, pollution, and hopelessness. What a wonderful world we live in.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

Yes, but that is their choice. They have given their money freely, for a cause they want to help. You can't force people to support things. Harsh, but IMO all part of free choice etc. You take that principle further and you could argue that people should only contribute to charities that "someone" deems worthy. Kind of defeats the point really, again IMO.
Had another thought on this - another reason I don't agree with you is that it could be argued that charity relieves an administration of some of the responsibility for fixing a social ill, like homelessness. As long as charities support and help, the burden on a government is lowered. Not that I am advocating withdrawing charity, just posing an argument.

Shit... these companies wouldn't fund armies to go into these countries and remove the warlords and the gangsters in order to free the people.
They're just tech companies man. Don't fall for the hype, they're not and never will be social saviours.
This is also true, and the main reason Clement Attlee went into politics - he had been a charity worker helping the homeless, and came to believe that relying on private charity was wrong. That's why we now have the comprehensive welfare state that we do.
