Good Evening my lovely people again of Mingle2, & to my Native Deutschlanders " Hallo, Meine Mitburger Auf Mischen2". I'm sorry it took me a whole weekend to get new & exiting topics to blow you away. Okay, let's get right into it. I got a good one today, I know 9/11 was on Monday(yesterday) but I found a crazy article in the Philly's Metro paper today, it caught my attention. Okay it goes like this Confederate statues & memorials are all the same & could be treated equally, a fox News commentator said on the 16th anniversary of 9/11 memorial for passengers on united could meet as a confederate general, at the hands of future generations. Okay, follow me America, then it goes on to say " Do you worry that 100 years from now someone is going to take that memorial down like they trying remake our memorials today?" Kilmeade asked, referring recent removal of statues for confederate military leaders like Robert E. Lee. Zinke replied echoing President Trump public sentiments" We can learn from it" Watch what comes next America, President Trump continues to say " Since we don't, CNNreported. put up statues of Jesus everyone is going to fall morally short". Zinke replies by saying " Aaahhh, Trump there are statues of Jesus on public lands including in his home state of Montana. Now what Fox has to do with this? well, read on! " Fox & Friends" hosts were skewered on social media for comparing people who seceded from the union & rebelled against the united states to civilians who died as victims of terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. Fox News declined to comment. So America, let's talk do you approve of statue removals or is it history? Maybe not mines, your, but its somebody's history. How do you feel about fox news disrespect to the families & victims of 9/11? Can't wait to hear from you all.


All replies will be answered back.
Thank you all kindly

EyeAmYourHost39,

Okay, my take on this here well I want to go back to what Trump said later in the article. At a Phoenix rally last month Trump, who has called statue removals " Sad" & " Foolish". He actually praised Fox & Friends is the best show & it's the absolute most honest show & it's a show I watch" he said. I'm like "aaahhh , where's the solitude & compassion?" Hey I like fox better than NBC morning wake up show but I think they should take the day of remembrance of 9/11 a little more seriously. let's think?

* 9/11
* Columbine Massacre
* Sandy Hook
* Boston Marathon Bombings
* Federal Building Bombings( Timothy McVey)
& Many Other hurtful loses.

Booo! for Fox . I think I'm rock out with NBC now.
You Lost a viewer.

I am odd man out here Eyeam because I have never really related to getting attached emotionally to items or objects that can be bought and sold

priceless items, maybe
or antiques or family heirlooms

but things like flags, memorials and statues don't tend to impact me one way or the other.

That being said, I do believe those things should be at the consensus ( as much as they can be) of whomever is being asked to maintain them

Ms. Harmony,

Good day, im glad to see you returned. I agree with you, i have a attachment for idol gods or statues either. I think if the confederates want to keep there statues then let them. You know in Detroit something similar to this they finalized the Baphomet statue. Nobody seems to pay it any mind. In american history Gen. Robert E. Lee was southern but it was a time the north & the south didnt see eye to eye . So the Lee statue is part of the southern history. I dont think it was up to offend anybody.

Hi Eyam,
Interesting!
I heard this morning that fox is making a takeover bid for sky! They already own either 39%or 49%, not sure.
I wonder how much that will change the news part of sky as they are already heavy into American events.
As for fox and friends, I have seen it on occasions and I call it the "t I t s and teeth show!

MikeySweety4You,

Welcome back, I have to agree with you. I would like to see TV News is very useful, hmmmmm....I love the morning monologues but tragedy is nothing to make fun of in my book. Fars monumental Statues, I just live & let live. even if they knock down confederate statues it won't change the course of history. America, the civil war was a bitter sweet time in history in this country. The south wanted to keep the laws Jim Crowe while the north was for non jim crowe. so we waged war against the south & ironically the north won. so even taking down Gen. Lee's statue will it erase who he represent ? will it change the face of history?.hhhmmm....I don't think so.
