Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Germany committed unspeakable atrocities during WWII, most notably the death camps. Should Germany rewrite history by tearing down the remains of these camps, which serve as reminders of the past?
Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: We keep these monuments, buildings, and names, not to venerate them but to learn from them. For every statue of Jefferson Davis, put up a statue of the horrors of slavery. For every statue of a nothern slave trader, put up a statue of an abolitionist, or a "Yankee" soldier who fought on the union side.
Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: History is complicated, as were the people. Some good intentions led to terrible outcomes. Some terrible forces created postive results. People themselves had both good and bad points. Attempting to make people feel guilty for, and rewrite what happened 200 years ago does a terrible disservice to the people of today.

Jefferson was a slave owner, but a passionate proponent of democracy. Franklin was a wise man who created an efficient stove (and didn't patent it) because he was worried about deforestation even then. He developed a postal and library system. He didn't own slaves, and published practical advice which he never followed because he was a notorious libertine. George Washington led the colonies to military victory, but was a land-speculator. Andrew Jackson did away with the central bank (a great idea!) but he was also an "indian killer". General Sherman brought victory to the Union side and made it ossible to free slaves, but he thought former slaves were deficient and had no use for them, and brought "total war" to Americans. FDR is thought of as some kind of reforming saint, but in reality he was just saving capitalism from itself. There are few historical figures who are all good or all bad, and only someone truly ignorant of history would think that they divide up neatly into "good guys" and "bad guys". ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake #WEARAMASK

Don't bother. Followed by another often repeated, even weaker lie: Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Besides, he's a paid internet "influencer", and given how much he slings lies for the DNC I wouldn't be surprised if the DNC was cutting him a paycheck. You embarrass the sh*t out yourself every time you post.
