    What say we help Puerto Rico or Flint first.

    ETA: the name of the freaking thread is "Notre Dame CATHEDRAL is burning down..."
    You're wrong on this one. It's a church that is a helluva lot more important than your church down the street. It is a heritage site that the entire world cares about.

    The argument against donating is it's already got over a billion euros in pledged donations, so our money is unnecessary.

      And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side
      And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
      Twenty red lights in his honor
      Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

          It's not important because it's a church. We're not donating money to it because it's a church.

          Indiana, we are simply passing through history.

            If you want to donate your money, go right ahead. Leave my money out of it.

              "You want to go to the moon, you pay for it." No. That's not how this works.

              It may not be a duty for government to recognize that some things should be spent on just for the ennoblement of the species, but it is a valid exercise of power. We aren't ants and we don't all want to spend our existence picking lint out of our navels. Some things are important.

                Flint isn't important. Got it.

                    Being a tiny part of the history of that cathedral? F-ck yes, I'm in!

                            Without Jesus there would be no Notre Dame.

                              Thats not exactly true, given that there is no Jesus and we have Notre Dame.

                                So we would've had the great pyramids of Paris instead. Still would've been magnificent.
