People can change for the better but their deeds remain as their history for others to learn from. Imagine teaching a generation that they can be as bad as they want then change & it's all forgotten.

presume you refer to Martin McGuiness...no his past crimes will never be forgotten or forgiven ! no turning back of clock what's done is done !
Assuming that you refer to the late Martin McGuiness - I don't think anyone will teach history that sees him exonerated from his actions because he renounced violence and was a major instrument in bringing peace to Northern Ireland.

As murraymints has said, his legacy must be seen completely, not cherry-picked or sanitised.

The message that people can change is a very valuable one, but it does not come with the caveat that all previous actions are expunged and forgiven - clearly they are neither.
He's not forgiven and it's not forgotten.

But...even the father of the child killed in the Warington bombing praised the effort he made in the Irish peace process.
I agree potiche.
hereIam - I'm not sure what you are agreeing with here.

potiche asks a question - Imagine teaching a generation that bad deeds do not live on - so are you agreeing that this is a bad thing - as most posters, myself included - have posted?
I noticed that no one apologised for having killed Joan McConville

it was all "lardy dah - such a pity she had to die but hey there is an upside - I became a very important politician - evry cloud huh ?"
Like I said, I agree potiche.
It's not forgotten but one should progress from the situation as it is not as it was.
