What I really object to is the sentence:

"oh man up, you fucking ponces. you weren't there when it mattered and you wouldn't have done anything to stop it if you had been."

How do you know what people would or would not have done had they been around at the time?

Moreover, even if we weren't there (and possibly because we weren't) it's important to know and recognise what went on in the past. That's why people visit those sorts of places. They're not kept standing for shits and giggles, you know.
