Look at history, no town, state or country has ever started with smiles and hand shakes. Almost always blood is spilled. Change the name, don’t change the name. Who gives a fuck.
The name Cornwallis means nothing to me. I have only one question for everyone. How long do the sons have to pay for the sins of the fathers?
OMG… millions of Jews are rolling over in their graves! Yes, and we will next compare similar genocides to destroying an ant nest.
Mod: this bitch is culturally insensitive and should be removed.
I think its awesome that Berlin, Ontario got renamed to Kitchener. Were they rewriting history, I wonder? Oktoberfest is still big, I hear.
OB, you really have no sense of history. What Cornwallis did was in response to the Dartmouth Massacre. The bounty order lasted less than two years with maybe a few dozen scalps taken. Hitler on the other hand murdered 7 million for no reason.
