Yeah because if anything should get you mad about ISIS its the fact they're destroying some stupid old sculptures nobody gives a shit about, not the people they're torturing or killing or anything, right?
People are replaceable.

Statues are forgettable.
As is the average man.

Except the average man and his life has inherently more value than a statue gathering dust in a museum

except the averga eperson doesn't help understand our history.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I'm more surprised that people are shocked now with the destruction of ancient cultural statues than before with an attempted destruction of present culture by killing everyone (yet somehow, this video annoys me more than the death videos - not that I've seen those) , but this is still abhorrent, savage behavior.

I can see why Turkey went in to exhume a tomb and move it to a more secure/easier to reach position in Syria, away from ISIS' hands.

I see ISIS is planning the short term history books, should be easy to wipe them off the face of it when the joint Kurdish forces with Western airstrikes put them in the dirt.

"Ornate chandeliers suspended from a vaulted ceiling lit the spacious chamber; Jack tilted his gaze overhead and noticed how far away they were.  His thoughts wove around those bright lights, like a dance of ether masses spiraling in precious unison. Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"
sadness and sorrow.

>assuming each life inherently has a net value in the realm of positive integers

Oh sorry, I mean objectively more value, because a living being will always be more valuable than a piece of rock.
>implying cultural artifacts will never hold an intrinsic value greater than that of any living being

They won't and never will. Sorry, but why is a statue more valuable than a human being? Or possibly the human who's conception was behind it?
Simple economics.

Nope. Human life will always be more valuable.
Sure, maybe white human life.
But that's not what's at stake here.
Both of you should shut up already and just take it to Tumblr.

You'd think ISIS would have been smarter than that and sell them on the black market
They usually do but these artifacts were too heavy apparently, so they just destroyed them for propaganda.

I do find it rather depressing and infuriating that they're destroying things from the oldest empires in the history of mankind. Shit that's lasted over 4000 years, gone. Just like the Nazi's with the Library's in (whatever country I forget) in World War 2.

I still say ISIS is worse than the Nazi's, if only for the fact that the Nazi's had an agenda, a stable government, and made average life for the German citizen better than it had been the last 30 years. Not defending Nazi's since they took away free speech for those Germans too and obviously the holocaust, but yeah.

But see, I don't really care about the people. Do care about the sculptures, though.

I hope they destroy more sculptures then. You should be ashamed you care more about a piece of rock than a human life.
See, here's the thing. Human life has very little value. There are ~7 Billion motherfuckers running around this earth, and the new ones are rolling off the factory floor faster than we can get rid of the old ones.

No matter what year it is, no matter which party is in charge of which government, no matter what anyone does, murder and violence will always happen. This is inevitable. We live in a world of limited resources and space. There is always going to be some group out there, usually many of them, in fact, slaughtering innocents by the hundreds. That's just how we are.

Now, what you do not hear about every day, is the destruction of ancient history, of artifacts that tie a people to their ancestors. You have to be genuinely insane for that. For a people to go around destroying their own cultural heritage in the name of Islam? To erase their own history in the name of ideology? Absolutely disgusting.

And I could care less about the artifacts they destroy when it's important to defend what we have today. It reminds me of Monuments Men. To a point I can sympathize, but in the end who gives a flying fuck about some paintings or statues being destroyed when you're trying to protect the present. Achieve victory first, THEN worry about the artifacts.

Not like they have much of a culture anymore anyway looooooool
Good lord you're both absolutely retarded

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I'm saddened by this. I can't say that I didn't see it coming, but these are things that have been preserved for thousands of years and now... gone. Our only remaining relics of civilizations passed are being destroyed by these... "people". I can't figure out what to describe them as. Ungrateful? Bigoted? Savage? Reprehensible? Whatever "they" are, it's another reason added to the list of why they must be stopped.

And to you people arguing about the value of human life: who says you can't care about both? This isn't some competition people, both have merit and we are all lesser people for having permitted the atrocities to unfold as they have.

Woah there, that's crazy talk.

You gotta chose one, can't have both.

Only "white" lives matter (I laughed when I heard that part), so check your privilege cis-scum.
