K-Doc Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Isn't that a rather paternalistic view though? "Let me hold on to those for you because you don't know what to do with them and will wreck it!" Yes it is - but they have proof that it's happened so until the other countries can proove they can actually keep their artifacts in good condition, it's hard to justify potentially losing an artifact to carelessness because it should be in its "rightful place."

"Let me hold on to those for you because you don't know what to do with them and will wreck it!" If that is what it takes to keep ancient artifacts in pristine condition for future generations to enjoy, then I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a great place to keep artifacts in good shape. Just a few riots from time to time but nothing that could break an old vase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad the riots are happening, but that doesn't mean the rioters are going to torch the British Museum... I have relatives there & it's unfortunate England is getting such a bad rep because of actions of some people. Lots of people have been grouping together and taking on the streets at night in groups in attempt to stop rioters. Many areas in England & especially London (like where my relatives are from) are completely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I would like to get married and have children - at least two. I would like to own my own house and really put down roots somewhere. I would like to become trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I would also like to meet Marsha Linehan one day and tell her how much she has inspired me, and how much her work has given me hope. I would like to get my mental illness under control to the point where I don't need therapy, and can just take my meds and be under control. I'd like to be able to go whole spans of time without even remembering that I have it, and be really stable for longer than a few months at a time. I would also like to write a book - possibly a memoir, or even a novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aishley Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well, seems like most of you want to get married and have a settle life with you partner. I guess, I really do not want that...I would like to stay single and not get married, but instead adopt a baby . I know as weird as it may sound, but I guess this is how I am [who knows it might change] -I really want to sail across the ocean... -I want to explore different countries and cultures...right not I have only been to Canada. -I want to be a part of Admission Committee -I want to make differences in people life throughout my life -and oh I want to win noble prize [just joking] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
