No, there was a real poll I saw a couple years back that found French tourists to be the most rude world-wide.
-snipped because bad idea-
This story was very enlightening because it gave me some insight on Chinese social media. They're just like us it seems but with a little more censorship at times.
[QUOTE=garychencool;40804953]As one who is Chinese, this is sad and embarrassing.[/QUOTE]
Really? You're probably more American than Chinese, punk and you better respect your American side and ditch your Chinese side. China is full of murderers, crooks, and short smelly people. You're an American now so ditch that lame heritage. You're with the devil dogs now. The top military in the world. Don't be ashamed of what these Chinese do. You're part of us now. Let the Chinese wallow in their own filth. Their fetuses, feces, garbage, and rubble. OORAH!!

[QUOTE=Paramud;40804625]These things have no intrinsic importance. Someone makes a thing, it gets buried for thousands of years, and it's declared special because it was made by someone a long long time ago. But, really, it's nothing more than a carved rock.[/QUOTE]
The lack of respect and cultural education you have, is astonishing.
Those are works which are the testament of many who lived thousands of years ago. You just' can't say "fuck it" and piss all over it, because you will never be able to get something like that again -unless you are capable of time travel-

If the Mona Lisa is ever somehow intentionally defaced/destroyed, I'd probably cry.

I had no more sadness hearing about this than I did when I heard that the Sphinx was used as target practice by Napoleon. It's unfortunate, but all in all it's just another of the countless relics that aren't in pristine condition.
I don't feel any hatred for the people who damage historical items. It's just unfortunate, that's all.
lol don't they have guard rails and security? tbh im surprised this hasnt happened sooner.
[QUOTE=Canary;40804607]It's not even that bad, you could probably wipe it off for gods sake...[/QUOTE]
Fun fact: Egypt is very seriously considering making the internal passages of historical sights, such as temples and pyramids, off-limits to tourists [I]merely[/I] because the air exhaled by a few decades' worth of visitors has produced enough air moisture to noticeably degrade the various intricate markings, paintings and carvings. And along comes You, telling them to run a damp rag over (a carving no less) it.

I thought it was already wasn't it? i remember seeing a thread about that a while ago
[QUOTE=Faz;40806605]No matter how you look at it it's a 3,500 year old rock with some shit carved into it, i don't get the big deal[/QUOTE]
Because it totally doesn't represent a whole other, ancient age of human history and give insight into it, No siree-bob. It's just some fucking graffiti! Tear it down! Eyesore! Disgrace! Deathtrap!
Shameful Display.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;40804884]It is known that the chinese are some of the worst tourists ever.[/QUOTE]
I disagree. We've got Japanese teenagers come here to Australia who have a permanent bored-as-fuck look on their face while playing with their space-age phones and throwing rocks at every native animal they see. Also, some little shit who couldn't have more than 12 also flipped off my grandmother for no apparent reason.

Too be honest Australia really is boring
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;40805253]People writing graffiti back then were literally less mature than graffiti artists today. They made the people who draw dicks on bathroom walls look mature.
Now that theres been 3 posts about it, might as well give a link

The forefathers of modern civilization, ladies and gentlemen.
I hate when people do this, I have always had a respect for ancient pieces especially when I was 15.
On a school trip back in elementary we went to a museum filled with all kinds of cool stuff, the teachers were doing a horrible job of watching to kids though and they ended up drawing dicks on a couple of priceless paintings and stealing items out of the gift shop. It pissed me off but then what was even worse was everyone on that trip ended up getting in trouble including me.

It happens a lot, apparently.
I went to Egypt one time, and some fucker had carved anthropomorphic animals all over the walls of an ancient temple. Disgusting.

fuck is your problem
So there was this story going around that this kid actually didn't felt any remorse and he wrote in one of China's social networking site roughly translated (google-translated) to something like "Damn, write a few words what the big deal?"

"learned his lesson"
in another 3,500 years that "graffiti" will be another priceless part of the monument.
so i guess not too much harm has been done.
