Not half as cheap as the “respectable” members of MaidenFans joking about Notre Dame.

I posted a Notre Dame joke. What of it?
I never claimed to be respectable and no one here has ever accused me of such.
Plus, it was funny.

Nobody was hurt. It's a terrible tragedy. It can still be funny.

I don’t see anything funny about it. Yesterday was horrible.

We've made jokes about far worse things.

I'm in the London Underground by the way.

I think we can all agree that the destruction of a beautiful landmark and pieces of history within are horrible. People joke about horrible things all the time.

As a historian (and I think @Perun will attest) it is a sad tragedy that such artifacts have been damaged or lost. But the important thing is that no lives were lost. The things can be replaced. Human life is far more precious than that.

Similarly, it's not like this is the first time Notre Dame will have been rebuilt.

Also, the only jokes I've seen on here have been from British users. We're known for laughing in the face of tragedy and getting on with it.

It's fine. Niall is the most British person there is.

I was just thinkin that myself.
Still, easy mistake to make. Pesky dual citizenship/imperialism.....

He's United Kingdomish.

He speaks Elvish

I have no clue what it will take to rebuild Notre Dame, but looks like there are at least 600M Euros pledged for it already. One would think that would at least come close to covering it.

Yes it was. And the place is special for me, many great memories from Paris on numerous occasions are related to it. But Niall's post was still funny. Wouldn't be if there were casualties but fortunately that's not the case.

Especially if in smaller denominations.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Experts say that the rebuild will take at least 20 years. Well thank god I'm young.

I'll send $10 in pennies

I'm old, so glad I have already seen it. If that number is right, I'll be in my 70s when it is done

 

[LooseCannon]

That sounds about right. And I suspect the cost will be 2-3 billion at least.

Boo hoo. Life sucks sometimes, might as well make jokes about the dark stuff too. You can’t even make a good 9/11 or school shooting joke anymore without someone getting butt hurt...
