stupid spanish empire

@oowen2784 wtf is that, were not indonesians

[oowen2784]

@danjum I guess you can say the same with the Dutch in Indonesia. Many Indonesians will find Dutch people not as brutal as their previous generations have faced. I suppose we can't stereotype the race of a people to be evil, just the individuals who were evil are to be blamed for their wrongdoings or crimes.

Are the women at 5:11 wearing the 'Baju Kebaya'?

Guys, it was the Spanish that were in pinas before who were very cruel, but ya knw they don't actually that evil in these days, I know coz I live here in Madrid

@ThtOnePinoy : I get your point... it is a pity however that some people look at things without prudence... as a saying goes; "a coin has two sides" so are the facts and realities in life...

@jff624 You misunderstand, I do not blame Spain as a whole, I blame the goddamn Spanish empire, good riddance. Like any empire.

The Americans were not good either, I never said they were, don't forget the faulty govt. system, and the unjustly murders committed by them.

However, explain to me, one good thing they have brought, tell me. Catholicism cannot be said, as it is a religion, and as you said, we have to view this in an unbiased way.

@freedfighter96 : hmm... we are Asians; but with mixed ancestry some are of Chinse, "Malayan", Japanese, British, Spanish and American decent however they are also others (a good number still) who are "pure" meaning there ancestry is not mixed with other "foreign" blood and who ancestry are have been here even before colonization era.

@ThtOnePinoy : yes she did only that she she bares all the brunt of anger and the likes, she may not have been really a good "mother" but so are others. the best way to view at history for me, would be to look at it with open mind and unbiased stand. let us consider all things not just one and let us not be to blinded by the propaganda that one have for the other.

@ThtOnePinoy : was there a mention of Spain idolizing America? I do not think you have grasped the hermeneutics of what I have written. I am not even idolizing Spain, I just would like to remind people not to blame her too much. for even if they have not been totally kind to us, still they have given us something that is good just like the others who have come to our shores. many people think that the Americans were totally gently where in fact they are. let us not be biased and closed minded.
