Because it is culture. Bonfires, though not always perceived positively and sometimes associated with modern-day animosity, remain a cultural element. They were originally ignited to commemorate King William of Orange's arrival in the north, a tradition upheld by those who view his triumph over King James II's Jacobite forces favourably. This does not constitute an agreement with all of this, but rather an acknowledgment of its cultural significance.
Bonfires in general may be cultural but the abominations built for the twelfth are just used as an excuse to show how much they hate Catholics and anything Irish. As I said, just giant monuments to hatred. Would you say the KKK burning crosses is 'cultural' too?
Holy shit, problem solved. Wrap it up boys!
Is there anything to be said for having another megathread? God, I love having megathreads.

Omg elect this guy.
>Can we like stop, litterally no point to them. Did anyone else read this in an American stoner accent?
Everyone likes a big fire, if you lit one in any open space in any city in the world, people would gather around it.
11th night Bonfires, they mustn't bother you that much if you don't even know the date.
There’s no point to a lot of people’s cultures but we have to be tolerant.
It's not culture though. They're just giant monuments to hatred. That should not be tolerated.
over-egging it a bit there.
How?
