[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2316364, member: 76181"]Anytime cultural patrimony is discussed, there is a political nature to it inherently. You can't speak of any countrys' laws, without politics being involved. What you are suggesting is that none of this is an allowable topic. If that is the case, then this is really a "Look at my pretty coin" and "Help me identify this coin" forum. If that is the case, I would like the moderator to jump in now. I have better ways to spend my time. You cant be a responsible collector if you can't discuss the real world implications. I am pretty sure my opening post was not political. If I am expected to let someone paint it otherwise because they want to be provocatively avant-garde, well, that I will not do. ISIS destroying Palmyira is the same as JP Morgan buying out Europe???? To me, that is turning the discussion into political farce.[/QUOTE]
