And oil companies will clean up spills all by themselves. Loyek is a good example of why it's next to impossible to take "libertarians" seriously.

I didn't say that they were peaceful and noble. My point was that whites were not justified in believing that the behavior of the Indians was unwarranted. Ditto today with Muslim extremists. Or Negroes. Or Palestinians. Or . . .

Like the Dust Bowl. Or the Great Depression. Or, if one wants to be current, homelessness. Hunger. Lack of basic healthcare. Then of course there were/are polluted air, land, water, oil spills, toxic waste, diseased food. All things which ordinary people and their neighbors have been able to...

Depends on what you mean by "modern era". The West has interfered in Africa and the Middle East for over a century. It's just taken a while for the chickens to come home to roost. This delayed consequence does not, however, relieve us of responsibility, something the right-wingers are forever...

And many white tribes in Europe were savages long before they landed on this continent. Read your history.

I saw that this morning. Vive la Resistance. Incidentally, the OP might want to provide further details on this report. Links would be nice. In the WHO report on violent death, only Albania was higher than the US regarding violent death by firearms. The "murder" list provided above could be...

If not FC, who? If not now, when?

Unfortunately, "or you can recognize that for some reason, some 'groups' are not improving to the extent we had hoped" is too often code for "it's all their own fault" (one need only spend a brief time reviewing the posts in this forum on this subject to confirm this).

And so will we :)

Can't imagine.

Whether it's "offensive" or not is unrelated to whether or not it's true, no less true than the "savagery" of the Indian coming in large part as a result of the behavior and policies of American settlers.

The correct trades are nearly always the safest and best trades.

Actually, it is, at least according to the studies I've posted, which I'm sure you read, loving knowledge the way you do.

A. I didn't start the thread to defend Islam; I started the thread to provide the POV of a Muslim cartoonist. As for the "cowardice and hypocrisy of the left when it comes to religion", that's the product of your fevered misperceptions. B. Your babbling about Muslims has yet to address the fact...

Actually, you were the first to bring it up. Old, broad-minded, libertarian you. :)

Loyek takes his own sweet time coming around to it after having started so far off the correct path, but, no, it has nothing to do with skin color per se but poverty, a point which I made -- repeatedly -- long ago. Nonetheless, one would have to investigate life span by race in the South...

Standard definition. Race and ethnicity are not the same thing. You redefine "race" whenever it suits you. Which is why it's more honest and saves a lot of time to refer to white supremacy rather than racism. That includes everybody that you hate. Experienced opinion? If you like. But that...

"Brown" is not a race. Dance until you bleed but you're still rationalizing in order to justify your bigotry. Racism is not a critical component.

Mississippi Alabama West Virginia Louisiana Oklahoma I feel just terrible about this.

And among Catholic priests :)
