This is not to say if any particuler crime can be bought to trial "WITH EVIDENCE" should not be punished.
But this whole "pointing finger" thing......there is no government/society/people that if you look into history thats innocent.
I know my society isnt...tbh the British were complete bastards.
Anyway to the point I do not believe a society should be made to repay/appologise or feel bad for the sins of the past

Well it would be more convenient to forget wouldn't it? I disagree-- we need to always be aware of the crimes we committed and Never forget what we are capable of.
I am sure the British empire was responsible for many many crimes.
should we not apologise or feel any guilt? We are still at it any way. ever since the beginning of time we have warred, killed.
