Yes a little north of Sapporo (30Km-50km). Hokkaido is an excellent place if you are from Scandinavia and want to live in a similar climate and where you can find peace.


Reserve it for the winter already you can rent them for a week or a two :).  

Stupid on multiple levels.  Wrong statue.  Wrong action.

Then you know that word I put in parentheses?  (protest)?  Are you going to keep ignoring it and every time I point it out to you?  You ignored when I told you I wasn't Brittish and you ignored the word protest in parentheses and you ignored when I pointed it out to you last time.

Maybe I should take a queue from your actions and ignore you.

The South lost there should have never been any statues of Confedrates anywhere in the first place you don't see any statues of Hitler in Germany and since the fall of the Iron Curtain you no longer see any statues of Marx, Lenin,  or Stalin in Eastern Europe. 

Because those countries insist on wiping out and hiding their own histories and fail to learn from their own mistakes.

Getting rid of these statues will have the same effect.

Lol no it won't they are just statues. It's not like they are burning history books and wiping our memories. Most people in this country have/will never see those statues and probably didn't even know they existed until they started talking about taking them down. 

"Well duh real communism can't really exist"

why didn't you just say that to begin with?

"Maoist China but that was mostly due to the fact that China never had a ton of rich people before he gained power "

so your goal is to destroy the capacity for some people to work harder than other people and be rewarded for the fruits of their labour?

so are you then willing to sacrifice all of the technology and comforts you have become accustomed to in order to achieve that? and live in a primitive way similar to the animals around us?

btw in such a state there is obviously a far higher capacity for suffering, since technology aids humans in curing a lot of the harmful phenomena that we are exposed to in the natural world, sure there would be less potential for people to harm each other, but our environment then has a greater potential to harm us... but you guys don't seem to think about that

where do you really think the technology and medicine we use comes from?

one thing that i've noticed about the people that want so desperately to tear society down is that they seem to be oblivious to how much it shields them from harm they would otherwise be exposed to, the truth is that many of us would be dead already if we didn't benefit from the collective efforts of people who have worked hard and produced different forms of technology

and since you claim it wasn't a communist state what was the soviet union?

I’m a Romanian, I have experienced communism until I was 15, we were always being told that there is no social class, that everyone is the same, at the same social level. In fact under PCR (Romanian Communist Party) everyone had the same wages, even a medic had the same wage as a factory worker. Even communist party members were being told that they are at the same social level as non-members. Everyone had access to only the same type of a car, radio, tv, same rationalized food. So, you’re wrong, true communism as you’re trying to explain, did existed, and communists have tried to implement. Fact is that communism doesn’t work with humans; a medic doesn’t put all that effort in to his education, just to make the same wage as a factory worker. Even tho we were educated to believe that everyone is at the same social level, at the street talk level, everyone knew it’s not true, and in many ways not fair. You’ve just proved you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you want to live under communism, go and transform yourself into a machine, because communism doesn’t work on humans.

Just statues....for now.

It's all part of American history and should be preserved.
