You can go into the past and point out the evils without harping and expecting people to express guilt and wanting to change because of guilt.

That's all this is about and it doesn't work. Guilt and negativity will never work they only bring about more negativity and hatreds.

Look you can look into the Holocaust find out why it happened how it happened and work to making sure it never happens again.

Or you can point fingers, shove guilt for it happening down people's throats and not learn.

Articles like this are not for learning but to exploit the past and spread hatreds and bring up old prejudices. Where is the moving forward? Where is the CC did this but because of his opening the Western Hemisphere mankind was able to grow eventually?

We cannot change the past, we cannot live in the past. All we can do is move forward and try to learn from the past and not repeat it.

All you people who keep pushing this guilt and hate of the past are doing is trying to guilt people into something.

What do you want? Seriously, what is it that you people want from those of us living in the here and now and are trying to better the world as best we can? Do you want me to appologize for CC? Do you want me to say what a horrendous man and how evil and dastardly and blah blah blah?

What do you want to achieve? Because all I see is you having a desire to try to spread anger hate and fear.

Imagine if all this energy you spent trying to convince people how evil the past was.... was spent trying to change the future in positive ways. I think the changes would happen faster if you focussed on positive change and with less resentments and hatreds and you might get more people to work with you.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
