Statues art art, even if they depict racist people. Better to keep them around to educate, least we forget.

'Art debate here is interesting but a totally different topic, but yeah I like that in some cases people are discussing what I happened to have said a while back: just changing the plaque. Statues don't have to represent heroes, but they are a historical moment in time. Put them in the museum, that's a fine compromise if you don't want glorification. But never forget.

Black Lives Matter. Let them protest, mean cops suck.

Yeah, I'm a little mixed on this one. It does seem most protestors and rioters seem to be quite low-information activists, feelings are reacted to without much consideration of historical context.

I support protests on this topic specifically, but the UK taking part and rioting, innumerable cops injured, the news reporting it as peaceful? This is a complete misunderstanding of UK history and annoys me.

China and India need to fight

Dunno. They have done half a dozen times and nothing comes from it. I just read they came to a diplomatic agreement once again though so I gues it'll be held off for another 3 months or so.

I don't care about ISIS

Well yeah they basically don't exist other than as an idea now so... whatevs

Good answers!
