Who else thinks this?

Why do you continue arguing purely for the sake of arguing ?

An ad hominem comment to ignore.
You could ask the same of everybody who keeps the thread rolling along.

 

[Terry - Somerset]

It is said that the victor writes the history books. In a sense the destruction of statues is a re-writing of history. Those who in their time were regarded as worthy of public acclaim are now dismissed or destroyed as an expression of evil.

We will learn nothing if we rewrite the past to match current perceptions. As what is regarded as publically and socially acceptable continues to evolve, we should assume that much that today we hold true may be regarded with contempt and disbelief in the future

So, hypothetically, how would people feel if in 50 or 100 years time, non-heterosexual activity were regarded as deviant, punishment deemed more effective than rehabilitation, genetic variance dealt with as an abnormality etc.

Was just about to lock the thread as it happens. Personal insults, folk unable to avoid posts and threads that seem to get their blood pressure up, unable to discuss anything in a rational and civil manner.

So keep it friendly or else..............
