I can easily acknowledge the good we have done, can you just as easily acknowledge all the horrific crimes, genocide, slavery, abuse of human rights, in the name of God by white Christian Americans?
What I see continually here at ET is the comparison game....we are better than they are, so we are therefore right. That is illogical and fully unprincipled. Might doesn't make right...for if you think that might makes right, then it would be right for a greater power to conquer America and that we should all immediately bow down to that power.
Our standards should be on the basis of principles, not on the behavior of others. That's what is wrong with America...we don't have a conscience, we have a comparative rationalization game.
Who raised you, people who rationalized their sins away because they were "saved" and "better" than the heathen?

Quote from jem:
and you prefer the way the aztecs treated people or the maya or some of the tribes in the U.S. and Canada. You prefer the way blacks were treated in Afirica or the way they treat each other now. You prefer muslim rules. You prefer the way the Japan was Ruled or Russia or Korea. -- wtf, is there something wrong with your brain that you can not acknowledge the tremendous accomplishments of our culture. Are we perfect? No - but what major group do you prefer?
