The Great Thug

[JollyRoger]

I think the concept of "manifest destiny" was pretty clear... Western civilization would advance to the coast... the areas settled by those folks, the USA made them states, by votes, over time.
I don't defend any injustices to the Indians.
It wasn't the USA being imperialistic... it was western civ.

If a Western civilization such as France extended its borders to the Pacific at the expense of the native populations in between, would that be imperialistic?

 

[kochman]

So, you consider the USA an empire.
Great. I don't, for the aforementioned reasons.
You guys are all really on about minor niggling points today, and I'm not going to play into it any longer.

Maybe start a petition to give the land back to the Indians... the UN would like that too... a win win situation, the world will have harmony.

I would think your injuries are too severe for you to play on. Have you been playing with a concussion?

 

[kochman]

More like a severe case of boredom...
USA, the great Satan! Give back the lands!!!

I was just demonstrating imperialism, not calling imperialism Satanism. Go get that head injury checked out now.

Strawman.

Actually, poor attempt at a joke...
I'm done here... have fun. Try not to burn the house down guys.

I don't think you have the cred to pull a Dachs and walk out on a high note, especially after that flubbing on MD.

I take that back, you certainly don't have the cred.

I apologize for setting the standard too high for you to reach.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

This thread literally made my head hurt.

 

[Hygro]

Wait wait wait wait.

Lemme straighten this out. Asking them about contraception was a distracting and unfair conspiracy? It's their own damn fault they and their constituents have wackjob positions on the matter.

 

[JollyRoger]

Since when is the missionary position wackjob?

Wow, you really are in love with Dachs. Have you told him yet?
If not, no time like the present.

 

[holy king]

everybody is in love with dachs and rightly so.

 

[Core Imposter]

If you follow politics long enough you will see that its just a great circle. Obama is just the New Nixon, the defender of a broken, corrupt system, under siege by agents of hope and change.

Viva the Counter Counter Revolution!

And a fundamentalist "Christian Conservative Republic" will be the way to go, eh?

Depends on what you mean by fundamentalist.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, given your apparent support for Rick Perry, that sort of fundamentalist.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Lol ya, that'd work.
