@ Lods
Great post. Also we, as a society, are losers in that we are unable to provide justice for a victim of a terrible crime whilst also safeguarding the principle of innocent until proven guilty and avoiding trial by media/mob.

Amazing on a few fronts.

I like the French, and I've been a Francophile for ages, but like my position on Robert Walls, I'm starting to have second thoughts.
This is stupid.

This is an exception to the rule I would imagine, an exception for something of historical significance such as Notre Dame. I could understand why they want to restore/rebuild it with aged oak. Am I missing something?

Partly personal opinion about materials and architecture, and partly about cutting down 1000 trees that are hundreds of years old.

I must say, having a been to France a number of of times, when you go through the small towns and rural areas, they are very good with their green space management and forests. But I take your point.
Re: General Discussions - capcom - 03-08-2021
Didn't the Queen do the same thing after the 1992 Windsor Castle fire and her annus horribilis? No-one objected to that and IMHO, same applies to Notre Dame.
Re: General Discussions - cookie2 - 03-08-2021
Notre Dame is an icon of western culture and should be restored to its former glory imo. Having visited it about 10 years ago, I was devastated when the fire occurred. It's a great shame that many ancient and proud oaks will have to be sacrificed but sometimes we need to do painful things. Over time those trees can be replaced.
Vivre la France!

I'm afraid [member=64]PaulP[/member] religion has no morals, if some religious holiday said eat wild turtles, they'd eat them to the very last and anyone resisting would be racist, ......................... hang on! :o
Re: General Discussions - Thryleon - 03-08-2021
There is such a thing as sustainable logging. So long as each oak cut down is replaced with a new one (say 2 for good measure) then what's the issue?
