Well, we all have opportunities to redeem ourselves. Hatred is consuming. And interestingly enough it's usually a projection. oldschooler, do you hate yourself with equal passion? Fair question.- 1

ARGENTINA - Milei’s task: Bringing Argentina’s bureaucrats to heel
I misunderstood - I took it that you were excusing the Argentine population at the time of the Falklands invasion from complicity, whereas you were referring to the present-day Argentinians. Yes, I agree that it is ridiculous to hold people responsible for what their ancestors may have said and done - partly because they were in no way involved, but also because, as the saying goes, "the past is another country." This "presentism" is a game that is played all too often by left-leaning zealots seeking to find outrage at every turn, and thus trying to hold modern Western countries liable for historical wrongs such as slavery or unfashionable projects such as colonialism. They might be better off to think about what people in 200 years' time will think about some of our current practices and behaviors.- 1
