A whiter shade of Black

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

He made a lot of money,lawfully,

Is there a statute of limitations on such crimes?

As others have mentioned, when certain historic crimes are no longer crimes, the 'criminals' are pardoned.
Should the reverse apply, in a legal and/or moral sense?

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

I think he means his views and ideas have changed,not that Notcheous has doctored posts,,calm down .

OK, as said Gandhi's and Churchill's views changed through their life's experiences.
Is that such a bad thing?

What crime? He did not commit a crime working in slavery...Are we going to judge your life in terms of 2300 AD Laws???Because rest assured,,you will be a serious criminal by those laws!!!

Interesting that anyone could be so influential.
Can you point out some of the things that Notch7 has changed, on these forums. I'd be interested to look them up.

Not influential just arrogant gone from an ability to reflect to zero.

Do it yourself you seem to have plenty of time.

I tried looking for the quote that you provided. Can you provide some source for it, please?

I did find this, and found it quite profound:

"I don’t know what’s more disturbing - the fact that in 2020 we have to debate that racism should end or that some people are denying racism exists.

Look on Facebook Lewis latest post. Look at all the comments

Surely, if someone reflects and changes their views, that is considered maturity.
If you say someone has changed their views, that indicates that their ability to reflect is healthy and performing well.

Your logic is flawed. Is it because he disagrees with your views?

Your logic is seriously flawed...ASS uming that reflection always leads to improvements in behaviour.

Is slavery legal?
It is a rhetorical question because you have already commented several times on its illegality.
Is there a statute of limitations on slavery?
When it was made illegal, was it retrospective?

Your logic is flawed by the roots of your reason another one who doesnt look beyond it engages brain and keyboard before error check..

Maturity.

1. the state, fact, or period of being mature.
   "the progress of an ingénue from childhood to maturity"

He was reflecting and now isnt.. that's regression you are talking ****** again.

I didn't say 'improvements', I said 'change'.
Interesting that you consider Notch7 has improved his world views.

"Intellectual maturity refers to the level of being independent in the decision making and the choice of action in a real-life situation, based, on personal experiences, reasonability of possible effects and on generally acceptable behaviors."
​

You're resorting to being disrespectful and impolite again.

 

[Notch7]

He did not commit a crime working in slavery...

Nobody said he did.

that is a strawman: nobody is arguing that what Colston did was illegal.

What we are saying is that having a statue of him with a plaque saying:
“Erected by citizens of Bristol as a memorial of one of the most virtuous and wise sons of their city.”
Gives the impression of venerating slavery

does not reflect the part Colston played in the slave trade, a part which many find offensive in the UK in 2020.

"How to realise when someone is taking thepiss for begginers" would be a good start.

Have you read my book on Irony?

untrue Old Bean.

you said black lives matter creates division, you did so without balance so your post is one of victim shaming.

if you had said:
"black lives matter is an activist movement that was founded after George Zimmerman's acquittal for the shooting death and it campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people......
however:
"the black lives matter campaign is not inclusive, so that could stoke division...."

but you didnt say that, your post said black lives matter creates division: that is unbalanced and therefore victim shaming.

please try not to get upset with me because your posts are unbalanced

Kick his fence down, then you could say:
