I love this tear down the statues movement.
Basically all these arseholes that got a statue built for them are people who had power, privilege and wealth.
And how did they get their power, privilege and wealth?
Well in most cases by killing people, ripping off people, and being racists.
Fuck these arseholes!
Let's tear down their statues!
There are some OK guys for sure who helped people, built hospitals etc, but most of them are arseholes!
Tear down their statues!
The replacement we put penis and viginal statues and many of the sex positions.
Should be a statue dedicated to the punter with typical over weight middle aged punter standing cock out and WL on her knees giving him a BJ.
We’ll place it in Surry Hills somewhere.
The statues inspire debate and encourage historical curiosity and learning. Know about history, the good and bad and learn the difference between them. An empty plinth reflects an empty, incurious societal mind.
I am sure we could put them in few suburbs and tourist can come and take photos infront of them....Quote:

But basically we are just guys who have to pay for sex.
The sooner we drop our ego and accept this simple fact the sooner we will all get along.
That said, there should be a sliding scale of allowable offensive historical characters as statues. Must explain why there are none of Goebbles, Himmler or their chief ****, ***ler.
Bro, this reminds me of a statue I saw in Prague, dude standing with his cock out for some reason. Apparently is good luck to rub his cock, only women prepared to so though.. haha.. anyway I liked watching all the women walking up to have their photos taken whilst giving the statue a HJ, his cock was shiny from all the rubbing.Quote:

Unpopular opinion but I agree. I find it weird how we judge historical figures by current morality. One day meat eating will probably be seen as barbaric, does that mean any famous figures from current times that aren’t vegans will be scrubbed from history?Quote:

Wasn't this all originally about cops?
You cant change history to suit your own beliefs, live and learn from it..............Quote:

That totally ignores the context of the times. We are perfectly capable of learning from the past without reacting like it happened yesterday. They were brutal times, not like today - at least in civilised countries. People on both sides were made coarse and brutal by a desperation to survive. The colony was barely hanging on, the aborigines were barely hanging on. They fought each other. They killed each other. The British had more muscle in the end. Back in England meanwhile they were still hanging children of ten or twelve in public for minor crimes. Grow up wiith that literally in your face and the importance of historical context, the way the times damaged psyches and dulled consciences, becomes clear. Even the best people had contradictions and were victiims to varying degrees of their own times. There was no escape from it. Read The Fatal Shore as a primer. If you put everything you could and should put onto a plaque, on some statues it would be all plaque and no statue, like Andrew Peacock was all shiver and no spine. If a plaque and a statue invites people to learn more, then it is doing its job, I agree with you.Quote:

Why it's the white folks, of course! The same shit happens in the US. You're not going to learn much about the stolen generation and all the monstrosity that white people have caused our indigenous people - nor will you hear about how the Chinese were treated during the gold rush times. This country needs healing and acknowledging all the bad shit and making it transparent as well as teaching it in schools would only benefit our future generations. Don't sweep shit under the rug and pretend like everything is hunky dory and then say: "Oh hey why are you guys mad?"
some of these angry left wing loonies must be overdue for a decent blowjob.. statue vandalism is the lad t thing on my mind as some Korean goddess impales her throat on my cock!
