From a big supporter of war criminals/terrorists/genocides, to a guy that will outright lie/fabricate/state things with no evidence, of what value do you consider your words have?

Then you might want to re-think the whole war on terror. If violence won't work here, it won't work there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we don't need to send our children to Hitler High to figure it out. HIstory is written by the winners, and has a slight slant of who are the good guys. History is almost objective in this post-truth era of the Internet. Simply because there is no way for anyone to really vet anything they see online.

Well, now time passed and now it seems Everybody’s having them dreams Everybody sees themselves Walkin’ around with no one else Half of the people can be part right all of the time Some of the people can be all right part of the time But all of the people can’t be ALL right ALL of the timeI think Abraham Lincoln said that “I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours” I said that. ---Bob Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 On one side of me, I am opposed to the statues in the cities. But on the other side, they should still remain in some fashion. Put them all in a museum as a reminder of what it represents. We need to remember history, not wipe it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
