Yeah, but I think there's a difference between tribal wars and a massive genocide scheme. It's interesting to think about, though; before the Mongols crossed the landbridge, were there other civilizations on this continent, even if not human? Anyway, I don't really know if genocide was our (and by our I mean Europeans) plan - maybe we really did want to save the Incas souls more than we wanted to steal their gold - after all, God likes souls more than gold, but we know what the Spanish praised more. See, and now we get into the reality of things - Americans haven't lay waste to millions of indians...maybe just a mil or two. The Spanish get credit for most of this job.
I've got a government to attack - Sierra Leone. When you can prove to me that my government is more diobolical than the one in Sierra Leone, then I shall weep for the planet. Until then, there are plenty of worse individuals doing plenty more rotten things than what the U.S. does. Which isn't to say we don't do some shitty stinky shit - sometimes it's as bad as the CIA running coke - but we don't chop off people's hands so they can't vote. Why doesn't anyone ever care about the people in Sierra Leone that have to mine the world's fucking diamonds without any *** **** [deleted expletive I wanted to use because I love you Imok] hands!!! I remember hearing about how fucked up the Taliban is ten years ago - women saying how the wankers over there cut women's clits off and made them wear shrouds and beat them to death if they talked - and now we think because we ended that regime that there's not more out there like it? And I'm supposed to feel bad that innocent Afganhis had to die so more than half the population could have basic civil rights? PEOPLE IN SIERRA LEONE HAVE NO HANDS!!! What I'm pissed about is that we're not there instead! |
