    I spent the day at the beach - it was absolute perfect - low 80's and not a cloud in the sky.
    I heard about it on the way home in my car. I am absolutely heartbroken at the loss

    I had a hunch back a while ago that something like this might happen. A quasi-motive being the hatred of western culture

    Chartes is known for its stained glass. And I believe it is one of the only cathedrals - if not the only - with the original stained glass surviving from the late Medieval period.

    I like flying buttresses and stained glass. But given a choice, I am going with the stained glass, man!

    My thoughts are with the Hunchback.
    I'm Buddhist as well. I strive not to have bigotry and hate ( so called bad karma)..some days are better then others.
    But I was raised Catholic, and I have much respect for Christians as well -it's all about compassion

    America, via Trump, is as I post building even more concentration camps, people dying and families ripped apart

    but hey who really cares?..........SAVE NOTRE DAME!!


    ...btw, exactly when did these wingnut pieces of shit start caring about France?
    This confuses me an awful lot when I see people write things like this. You do know that it is possible to care about more than one thing at a time, do you not?

    If you didn't give a shit about the Notre Dame, then why did you write a post about it?
