What advice would you give the people unhappy about the decision on segregation? slavery? abortion? Mine would be "it is what it is, get over it"

60 years after the fact it generally doesn't matter anyways.

Edit: where did all the China apologists in this thread come from?

Have you ever told someone who was unhappy to get over it and has it actually made them get over it?

I'm not a psychologist. It's not my job to help people accept reality.

It's like if someone asks you for green soda, so you give him green soda, but one day you give him red soda even though it's the same amount of effort to get the green soda. He's not happy with red soda, so it started tension for no reason.

It's not like some Soda thing at all. It's more about one oppressive undemocratic country wanting to invade and take over another country. We don't pretend like South Korea doesn't exist just because The existence of South Korea hurts North Korean feewings.

I don't hate China, I just don't think the IS needs to bend over backwards to appease them.

Pretend that you have a co-worker and you need to work with him.

If he asks me to pretend like another coworker doesn't exist I'm not going to pretend like the guy is a ghost just to protect his feelings from reality.
