What is says on the tin.

To start things of, I saw this little story today.
I'm actually kind of startled at how upset this made me but then, I shouldn't be all that surprised at my reaction. I'm a history geek with aspirations of archaeology. I love old things. They connect us to the the past in so many ways. Hell, old trees are even one of our biggest helpers in accurate dating. The fact that this tree managed to survive 3,500 years of whatever the world could throw at it and it's burned down by an idiot high on meth just infuriates me.

Oh dude I was so going to make one of the threads yesterday but then I got distracted and didn't.

There are particular crimes I personally consider worse than murder, and these tend to revolve around history and so on. It's like when you ask a historian or an anthropologist about the destruction of the Mayan books, and they go ape-s**t, and someone asks "so what, that's worse than murder?" and they're all "hell yeah it's worse than murder, that's destruction of history and culture!"

I did a survey thing about morality and punishment, and the worst crime for me was burning down a museum.

"I can't believe I burned down a tree older then Jesus."


Yeah. I can't ******** believe you did either.

I mean it's like that guy who went around burning down 1000 year old stave churches. The fact that they're Christian is ******** irrelevant, they are old and made of wood and contain much in the way of culture and history for us ALL to ******** enjoy.

They cut down a tree in Scandinavia recently. I want to say Sweden. Anyway it was like 1200 years old and they cut it down to make way for tram cables or something.

Oh that's so terrible! I can't believe some people these days...it might sound a little barbaric, but her life was nothing compared to that of the tree's therefore she should be burnt from the inside out. See how she likes that. stare
It's things like ancient trees that make you wonder what they've witnessed over the ages...
