CBS Reports Statue of Liberty is a Muslim Woman, people wonder if they are reading the Onion by mistake.

No, much better to trust the word of some British faggot professor with a polo sweater who says God doesn't exist over a noble warlord who founded a world-conquering ethos that unites all races into a powerful brotherhood

n/a ComedicSans 2017-02-05

I'm not British. And a polo sweater? Jumping Jesus Christ, that's more blasphemous than a hentai starring Mohammed. Delete your account.

>implying sociology is an actual branch of science respected by anyone but other sociologists

n/a silent_xfer 2017-02-05

It's undeniably useful independent of whether or not you consider it science.

True science isn't about labelling shit like we're eleven.

n/a Akilroth234 2017-02-05

Except for the fact that most of it doesn't rely on empirical evidence, is always politicized, contradicts with science that actually DOES have empirical evidence, and some of it is completely fabricated for the sake of pushing an agenda.

n/a silent_xfer 2017-02-05

The last point you made can be said about virtually any scientific discipline. I can see you're not interested in serious discussion. Have fun senior year.

n/a Akilroth234 2017-02-05

I see you hopped on my last point because it's the only one you have a (mediocre) refutation for. About as much as I'd expect for an advocate of sociology :^). Have fun in Liberal Arts class.

n/a silent_xfer 2017-02-05

I graduated last year with a STEM degree, but I appreciate basic science of any kind (unlike you.) I jumped on your last point because it was the only one worth discussing. I don't waste my time with platitudes.

Excellent emoticon, mediocre banter.

n/a Akilroth234 2017-02-05

You're not even making a coherent point beyond 'I appreciate science of any kind.' If anyone's guilty of making platitudes, it's you.

n/a silent_xfer 2017-02-05

It's undeniably useful independent of whether or not you consider it science.

The literal first sentence I typed to you was a coherent point, that we went on to discuss.

Hey, great try though. I can see you put a lot of work in, and I don't want to invalidate that.

n/a Akilroth234 2017-02-05

I am glad we are continuing this argument a day later.

n/a silent_xfer 2017-02-05

Ffs, I get that the Democrats are mostly right, but they're not trying to fix their approach at all.

n/a silent_xfer 2017-02-05

I agree with you, though I don't consider myself strictly a "democrat"

I just don't use reddit with any serious intentions, so I tell dim witted people to off themselves.

n/a UmmahSultan 2017-02-05

Democrats are only good at major issues like war and the economy. When those aren't problems, they get distracted with filling out their affirmative action bingo cards.

Once U3 hits 10% and the invasion of Iran turns sour, the left will get their act together and become capable and well-meaning again, repeating the cycle.

n/a uniqueguy263 2017-02-05

The economy's a problem for a lot of people. They've decided a pampered billionaire is a better option than the Democrats, and for them, it might somehow be

n/a Thhueros 2017-02-05

Back in my day the story was that the (((French))) originally designed Lady Liberty to be a black woman. Damn kids and your muslims.

n/a SpotNL 2017-02-05

The statue’s designer, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, was also French, but he found inspiration in a very different place: Egypt. In 1855, he visited Nubian monuments at Abu Simbel, which feature tombs guarded by gigantic colossus figures. Bartholdi became fascinated by the ancient architecture, developing what the National Park Service calls a “passion for large-scale public monuments and colossal structures.” Eventually, he channeled that passion into a proposal for the inauguration of the Suez Canal.

Bartholdi envisioned a colossal monument featuring a robe-clad woman representing Egypt to stand at Port Said, the city at the northern terminus of the canal in Egypt. To prep for this undertaking, Barry Moreno, author of multiple books about the statue, writes that Bartholdi studied art like the Colossus, honing the concept for a figure called Libertas who would stand at the canal. “Taking the form of a veiled peasant woman,” writes Moreno, “the statue was to stand 86 feet high, and its pedestal was to rise to a height of 48 feet.” Early models of the statue were called “Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia.”

n/a Thhueros 2017-02-05

Why is that bust of Cleopatra white

n/a moudougou 2017-02-05

In case this a serious question:

Ancient statues often survive showing the bare surface of the material of which they are made. For example, many people associate Greek classical art with white marble sculpture, but there is evidence that many statues were painted in bright colours.[3] Most of the colour was weathered off over time; small remnants were removed during cleaning; in some cases small traces remained which could be identified.

And Cleopatra was Macedonian, so probably "white" in our currents stantards.
