Museums aren't bad you dolt. Stealing artifacts from other cultures is.
Even a "only from your country" museum would mostly be artifacts from indigenous people, which should be considered just as stolen. So what's left after that's returned?
I'm sorry are indigenous people not counted anymore? Am I suddenly no longer American?
Way to go out of your way to take offense. My point was that most countries hold artifacts of people they've subjugated or even removed. Taking over didn't make those artifacts "theirs" anymore than it does for artifacts they've moved from other countries.
So what culture is the UK allowed to display? What's the core culture they never conquered?
I just find the endless beating of a dead horse to be tiresome. Not all artifacts are stolen you dolt.
No fucking shit you moron. That's not the focus of the post, now is it? Fuck you idiots are so tiresome.
Good day to you too, woke up on the wrong side this morning?
