Abolition of Slavery: Apologise or Not Apologise. Discuss.

But then, thats just what it is - just an opinion isn't it? And we don't ram them down each others throats do we?

Didn't think so...

Of course not!

In This Day and Age
***************


In this day and age,
There is the temptation,
To make a quick buck,
From an odd inclination.

In this day and age,
There's no black or white,
Just shades of grey,
Tainted with spite.

In this day and age,
All are born in to blame,
And as Justice tells us,
Where there's blame there's a claim.

In this day and age,
We absolve our belief,
That we are responsible,
For other's grief.

In this day and age,
Nothing we do,
Is good for me,
And good for you,

The protesters also called for reparations to be made to help narrow the gap between the black communities and the rest of society.

White mans burden eh?

I like the linked blog by Tim Worstall - but I can see some people on this board being disgusted by it...

Question time

Looked like the audience understood it was about cash not pretty apologies.

Sad really, our ancestors abolish a widely carried out legal trade (quite rightly) on moral grounds and defend that decision with arms, all the descendants of some of the victims can think of is to look for a paycheck. I liked the comment from the lady regarding her Grandmother in the RAJ, sounds like she is worried that would be the next "fairness lottery".
