Topic	Fat COW who tore down confederate statue in NC will face felony charges
Zeus 08/16/17 3:34:17 PM #35:	Lightning Bolt posted... TheCyborgNinja posted... The CSA lost, let these statues stand as a reminder and conversation starter. Why should we host historical statues of military officers for a foreign government we beat in a war and took over? The CSA is not the USA's history except as a short-lived enemy. Vae victis, aka "woe to the vanquished" or "sucks to lose, dunnit?" Given that the Civil War was America's war against America, it's literally the USA's history and is the second most significant war in US history. More importantly, most of them were known for stuff beyond the Civil War. Robert E. Lee, for instance, was a Mexican-American war hero already, he had stopped Texas from seceding years earlier, and was vital in the reconstruction. Otherwise, if we're playing that whole "woe to the vanquished card" then shouldn't Lincoln's memorial be torn down because he was defeated? =p Truth_Decay posted... Zeus is borderline obsessed with duckbear. Smarkil posted... If you want to take that argument, then we should tear down any statue of Native Americans before they were a part of the country. They're not technically a part of our history, right? Plus they lost, which was one of Lightning's big things. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:884894038] in Fat COW wh...
