I've got nothing at all against properly understanding history. My problem is that it seems like everytime these conversations get started (and, note, I'm not talking about just here, I'm talking about all over) you've got the people yelling about how terrible it was, and then you've got people saying "Look, it wasn't that bad", only they never add in the bit where it was still pretty fucking terrible. I've got no problem admitting that the general belief is it was way worse than it was, but I'm tired of getting told that "It wasn't that bad". Cause, you know, us semites and our semantics, "it wasn't that bad" =/= "It was bad".

And no, I'm not saying you or Lorna or anybody here thinks that. I'm just tired of it all.
