@Brien182= You are just a tool of the revisionists retards. Quit drinking the Kool Aid you jackass.

@gobacktoschoolmoron All of my "half baked 'nonfactual' comments" come straight from history classes and books. As for you-you are being very biased. Simply tell me the assessments in which you disagree and I will try my best to explain them.

@Brien182 GO fuck yourself and your half baked unfactual comments.

@braininahat I would also like to add the brutality in the Philippines. We not only killed them, but tortured as well. this was done for no particular reason and is just now being brought up. many books have been published by veterans describing our own brutality that the government has not mentioned. This was indeed a racial war, although we didn't go to war over superior racial mentalities, we sure did our share of horrific things

@braininahat I never said i was against america. I love america because i do have more rights than i use to have. We had slavery the shortest time because, again, we were one of the youngest countries at the time, and we still are. Nationalism can only go so far. It is what started our own civil war and many other wars including the Austrians as an example. the facts are this country was built by slaves and god knows how many indians we slaughtered for land. It's brutal but it happened.

@Brien182 Sorry, pal, America is great. Americans have more reason than any other peoples to be proud of their country. Of all the nations in the world who have had slavery, America had it for the shortest amount of time. Bad-mouth your own country all you want. You're free to do it. But know that people who know the facts laugh at you and your kind. You're all 'useful idiots', a term created by communists to describe liberals like you. It is the most apropos term ever invented.

[Brien182]

@braininahat It doesn't matter because America had had slavery since the beginning of the country. You are thinking that America had abolished it quicker than any other country, but in reality that makes absolutely no sense because America was a very young country, just getting started. Not to mention we were extremely imperialistic. In fact, having slavery in the first place is immoral, doesn't matter when we got rid of it.

[braininahat]

@Brien182 The point is that many, many nations throughout world history have practiced slavery -- some still do -- and of all those nations, America has abolished (on its own, no less) slavery faster than any other nation in history.  In less than 250 years, we abolished slavery. No other nation can make that claim. My opinions are facts. Your misrepresentations are an painful effort to paint America in a bad light.

[Brien182]

@braininahat technically no. First, america isn't that old at all. Second, America was built and originally started out with slaves. so at the time slavery was abolished, we had had slaves the entire time, and even then we still weren't the first ones to abolish it. Although I respect you're opinions, they are very biased. None of us should rid ourselves of guilt because it reminds us of our errors. According to doctrine, once we acknowledge our error, we know not to repeat it.

[braininahat]

@Brien182 Yes, but I said we abolished our slavery faster than any nation in world history to abolish their slavery -- meaning that we had slavery in America for less time than any other nation in world history. Yet where are the kudos for that, sir?  No. America is one of the most morally upright nations in world history. Rid yourself of your guilt. But, more importantly, spare us your mischaracterization of the greatest nation on this earth.
