stole them... brits... these are not 100% accurate.
It was not "brits" it was lord elgin who visited Greece for fun and took a fancy at them...
and he didn't steal them he bought them from the turks during the occupation (which is stealing - it was not with greek consent)
But thier natural place is in the upper part of Parthenon. To reconstitute the Parthenon as it originally was, is something that I think many of the Brits would like too if they were asked. After all it is not only, greek, it is a universal structure. It and what it stands for belongs to the world not only Greece.
The british museum has plenty of ancient greek artifacts. But the marbles of Parthenon should be returned to their rightful place, artistic, culture and architecture wise if nothing else.Comment

No taxation w.out reprsentation!
and while they are at it, they should give the original 13 colonies they had in the US spots in parliment to make up for all those years where we had none!

I just want my money back from the Stamp tax. I bought a lot of stamps in the 1700s.

paiktis22: here in the states the family jewels is slang for a mans balls. Since inside they contain the seed for future generations. Don't worry, Imran just has his mind in the gutter.

It's been a fun weather here in Finland... Around Christmas and the holiday period the frost sometimes climbed down to -30 C, though it usually was bearable between -20 and -30. Then one night it just jumped all the way to zero and even higher. Last night it came from zero and is now -18...
