I don’t like ANYBODY deleting history. Whether it’s via fictional Sci-Fi time travel or the “cancel culture” censorship going on. I believe we ALL create history, even if it never makes a textbook.

I'm going to be politically incorrect here but I don't care, and if I offend anybody, again, I don't care ... it's how I feel. If it puts me in bad graces with the forum, so be it. I hate all this 'I'm offended by this' crap and the removal of flags, statues, names from schools, etc. For God's sake people, it's our history, like it or not. Read about it, learn from it and make sure it never happens again. Then go on about your lives and try to do some good in this world. As Stephen Fry once said, a person said to him 'I'm offended by that' and he replied, 'So f****** what?' ... I spent 20 years of my life defending this country and now I don't recognize what it's become. Makes me very angry.

Live your life & don't make others believe what you believe.

Steve, I hear ya! I'm all about being politically INcorrect. IMHO, it's hip, cool AND patriotic! After all, this IS still America! With all it's history...good, bad & in-between, we know to LEARN from history...not trash it or tear it down! Yeah, too many people get 'offended' by too many things..that's on them. Frankly, I don't care, either. They're dim-witted cry-babies! In fact, one of my favorite funny ladies is back..and fighting back! Roseanne Barr...she's funny, unapologetic and REAL And, ZandraJoi, you're so right! We can all create our own history and leave the real stuff in the history books

True and the worst part is even if it does make textbooks, now they are trying to cancel certain histories.

Create it, for sure.

delete it
reason is: I wouldn't want to be credited with a big discovery or invention and then have all that fame

But if you did make a big discovery, it doesn't mean you'd have fame. Many people had fame AFTER they passed away. I'd think of all the good one would do & do my best to not be in the spotlight or to have an alias name.

If you goes to our culture which was destroyed by past kings then you will realize how we are their. The Britishers and Mughals were looted a lot, but the textbooks always hided these things since the political leaders were supported them.
Do you like this thing? since kids doesn't know the real truth who built and renamed a place?

Do you like this thing? since kids doesn't know the real truth who built and renamed a place? That is what they are doing here. They always have but more so with "Cancel Culture" & deleting history. I don't like it & wish more people would stand up for history, even with all its flaws. Kids are being raised learning one side & they in turn only expect to have one side.
