removal of monuments from government property

No words describe how rediculous ^^^ this ^^^ is.

What is it about it that's ridiculous?

So the consensus in this thread so far is a dislike of what is happening with the removal of monuments from government bslaverys.

If you'd rather have these items stay, would you be okay with things being added? What if some Buddhist group did something noteworthy for a state. Would it be okay then to put a Buddha statue in a government building?

I have thought about this actually. And since the removal of the flag which is on the premise of it being a reminder of time of hate and is offensive.

I can see why the statue is being discussed to be removed as its a reminder of the same thing.

However I also thought maybe to ease those that dont want the flag removed to have a confederate military statue placed next to to the one about slavery.

Or just move the one about slavery to another park as that's more appropriate.

Leave the government buildings plain so they can just focus on government. And make parks the place to do the remembering

Im really surprised dollar bills still say In God we Trust. No other comments.

They just finished making our money look the same as most third world countries.

It'll happen, but might take a bit since they just redid all the bills not to long ago.

I think we should ban and remove everything, there's nothing else going on in the world right now, seems like a good time.

The law was very clear on the fact that it should be removed. this is oklahomas law.
No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such.

I can agree with that.
Well buddhism is one thing. But would you agree with putting a statue of Satan, for the satanic churches? Or how about a monument to Xenu, the overlord in scientologies book?

How about the fact that this nation was built on Christian values which does no one any harm. Or that fact that people want to come to America because of what its stands for, but then want to change it into where they came from.

Did you really just say Christian Values does no one any harm... History tends to disagree with you completely.
