Where the fuck did I say Europe's history was the best or the greatest or whatever? I just said there's more of it... and even took that back. Of course there are things in Europe's history to be ashamed of. But you have to admit America's history is much shorter.[/quote]
The bolded part is kind of a berserk button for me. Because really instead of being proud of the way your culture had expanded and spread you should be ashamed of how is was spread through murder, rape and exploitation.
I should have calmed down a little but I fired the first response off very quickly. I do believe everything I said about Europe but I shouldn't have attacked you over it.
You're right we can't really compete with Europe's History of Atrocities and exploitation.

While it is true that nobody alive at the end of Colonization is still with us today the effects of colonization have occured very recently and continue to shape the world. So long as Europe continues to deny it's critical role in overturning the table and leaving the world in chaos when they went back to their continent the world will continue to swirl deeper and deeper into chaos.
Ahem.
Let's watch that "Colonial Guilt" button, shall we?

I'm calling BS on this. If you didn't want a response, you wouldn't have posted it.

Whenever I don't want responses from people I post to twitter or my blog... or you know, don't say anything at all. That last one REALLY works.

We can agree Europe gave us Pie, right? Pie is delicious and everyone loves pie. This thread is thusly now about pie, the different kinds and the appreciation of it.
EVERYONE EAT PIE

Yeah, that's what I said. I don't know what you're arguing here
What you are missing is that not every nation in Europe, maybe even not most of them, had a significant part in colonialism or is to blame with the same kind of things. You can't blame Europe as a whole.Dubyamn said:
Anyway, I already agreed with you that many european countries fucked up like half of the world so, again, I don't know what you are arguing over. Still, since you seem to be bent on discussing who's fault is the fucked up state of the world, think about this: the US have been the most powerful country in the world for about the last century. Don't you think if something's wrong right now, it may be at least partly your fault? (as a country, which I'm not sure of, but if Europe as a continent or as an emergent joint of nations can be, why the hell not).
(Also, the history I like, if any, is the one before most of colonialism. Ya know, ancient world, then middle ages, etc. That's because I said there's more of it. We know much more about the ancient history of Europe. Maybe it's that way because some european people did fucked up things in the past, well, I'm sorry about that)
PS: What's the point of the stolen generation link? I'm sincerely asking. I have some ideas but I'm not sure of them.
I admire Europe's relaxed attitude on sexuality in media.

Isreal is a joint US and Europe Clusterfuck and South America would probably be much more stable if not for America sticking our noses down there. Those are the American fuck ups.
But Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan and multiple other spots throughout the world are places Europe turned into absolute shitholes.
China, India and Pakistan are examples of countries that spent years as shitholes due to European trouble making and only now are managing to rise out of the hole Europe put them in.
The Stolen Generation are the children the British colonists of Australia stole from their parents in order to raise them to be civilized. It continued until the 1970's in certain areas of Australia. The point of it is to show that while you may consider the age of imperialism dead and buried some of the worst examples of Colonization continued if not during your life definitely during your parent's life.
Destabilizing South America is no small thing... And, like I said... you've had less time. Also, where you are saying 'Europe' you mainly mean Britain, right? Except for Africa, of course.
Anyway, I think we'll agree that historically the nations that hold more power tend to fuck up the rest of the world or at least whatever's in their available sphere of influence?

Hey, i resent that, we know exactly who our father where... (greece and rome).
What, we gave them over 1000 years to figure it out before we started the raping and pillaging...
Well i guess the rays we're using to make you guys dumb might have something to do with it, but it's your own fault for not wearing a tin foil hat...
How are the native americans enjoying their casinos btw?
