Its been about fifteen years since I last visited York, so I look for info about the attractions there. I'm flabbergasted that York Minster, a church, cathedral, whatever you call it, is charging about £10 per adult entry. In the past it was free to get in and even visit the crypts there.

The thing is, as a place of culture, if your entry policy affects people's pockets, like parents with children, then such places will not get the young interested and have less of a stake in the future care of such old buildings. They're shooting themselves in the foot, IMO.

I'm sorry to say that I don't think young people have any interest in old things of any sort. They might if they are some kind of unattractive nerd. They might when they become middle-aged.

I think it a fact of life, I'm sorry.

Right, and it will be toooooootally different if they allow the breeders with their snotties to enter and roam freely the place as if it were a fair attraction: the sort of people who will be scared by entrance fees will never ever EVER get any more enlightened by merely allowing them to enter such "places of culture".
"Culture" does not seep in from a plain visit to the place: it is something you work to become a part of yourself, and then the actual, physical visit comes as a sort of reward and a natural consequence of that previous process.

It is not about elitism, it is about getting the real sense of the thing.

It has nothing to do with ages: that would mean that ALL older people get naturally interested in things of the past. What about the young-at-heart punksters who are convinced that having sex, a salary and being allow to smoke and drink alcohol make adults of them?

Interest on this and that is like speaking a language: you become part of a process of communication around the same stuff, in one case the language, in the other the "place of culture" and all that makes that place have sense as such, different from another one.
 
I am still struggling on and off with a crush but I feel better when I'm honest with myself about it.

That made me laugh haha! A bit of that though he does have a girlfriend but she has issues. I posted about this earlier in chit chat titled I thought I was over it.
 
Last night, in fact, but still today August, 4 :mrgreen: :

Dominic Purcell didn't look as cute in John Doe as the impression I kept had made me believe up to now.
 
Jeffrey Dahmer more likely a minority killer :bartshock


When I read Jeffrey's story without picture, I didn't know what kind of victims he murdered. I thought he's just killing another white man like him but the fact surprised me..

Gosh :##: If I imagined my past whereabouts...(craiglist, visiting stranger's cabin, drove to rural area to meet up) I could've not alive now...:( (gulp)
 
That top pot is a decent place but those who promise to meet me there are garbage people.
 
International packages, that is, from outside the European Union (damn, that sounds so Evil in English!) are subject to arbitrary customs inspection, but over a declared value of €150, they are considered "import" and must undergo a special administrative procedure.

Apart from that: "When the baby is about to come out, a bloody hand bursts out from her vagina and grabs Sue." I would need to see that to get me out of my confusion...
BCN is absolutely packed with American people, and not just the downtown, which was out of my route today... that is so kjwte :mrgreen: but maybe it's only that I had never been to the city in August before :cool: I mean, never as a born person 8-) not that I can recall :rolleyes: :mrgreen:
