Another question: Should the British return all the stuff they took from Greece as well?

[longtermmemmory]

Just the stuff they admit they stole.

Ie the parthenon marbles

(based on a firman which was presented as an incomplete English translation of an Italian translation of a recreated from memory “lost” Turkish document.)

It is pretty well documented.

Even the fact the British museum scraped off the paint, bleached the marbles and lord duveen’s copy making operation degraded the marbles every time he made a copy for sale to his rich friends.

The new museum is almost done in Greece so the british will no longer have the “safe placement” excuse too.

The British stole all that stuff fair and square, that’s fine. If they want to keep it, I’d suggest they not start loaning it out to the various nations/cultures who want it back.

Of course we should. We plan to do it on the same day you give America back to the Indians you took it from! :)

Should the British return all the stuff they took from Greece as well?

I'd say yes, along with all the stuff they took from other parts of the world. I'd imagine the British would feel the same way if Stonehenge was currently on display in Athens.

Long ago, Lord Elgin was guilty of Statuary Rape; but if Greece got them back now, he'd lose his marbles.
