Tell that to the Africans who are until this day having their resources and land pillaged, with warlords installed.

such ignorance is appalling.

You understand that these warlords arise from their own ranks, right?

You understand that the problems you're bemoaning are not intrinsically a white trait, and that there are people throughout all societies that will happily brutalize their peers to gain position, power, etc.?

I am not condoning the negative actions of my own and allied governments. I'm saying their actions are symptoms of a much larger problem.

That's very convenient for the oppressor to tell the oppressed after the damage is done and the current status quo isn't equitable.

And you are completely against feminism? Figures.

There is a certain lack of self awareness in his words that lends him, somewhat paradoxically, a certain legitimacy in this discussion, albeit not one with which he may want to openly side.

Again with the feminism. It must be difficult to be outraged all the time.

Just ask the Filipinos who elected a strongman who promised stability but looks like he might feed anyone to the grinder who opposes him.

I'm going out now, when I come back I'll give you a history lesson.

What's funny is how triggered you get from the word feminism. How's it feel to become exactly the people you loathe?

A history lesson in what, exactly? The shittiness of the human race?

I've literally got a degree in it. Two, really, if you want to get technical.

Not the word you want to use.

I only do condescension to be humorous. I'm not joking right now.

I am perhaps being a bit of a sesquipedalian.

All I'm saying is that you're using the arguments of people you deride as a basis for your own allegations of bad behavior.

Put another way, you're doing exactly what you're saying is the wrong behavior.

Also, maybe don't refer to the problems of "Africans" as something I'm not clear on, especially not broadly generalizing it as "people in Africa," as there's no fewer than a dozen distinct trouble spots on that continent and while a history of imperialism on the continent has certainly exacerbated the scope of the problems, they are not "white" (for lack of a better term) in origin.

The Clintons' biggest crime was nothing that was done this century. It was their involvement and profiteering as relates to the (frankly, ongoing) Rwandan genocides.

I just really hate the way the word "feminism" has been hijacked by a bunch of whining children who have no concept of what the feminist movement was ever really about. It's irritating on a lot of levels.

Among them, trying to sort out who is just against today's Asexual-Transexual-ProFat "feminists," and who legitimately thinks women belong in the kitchen, only pursuing higher education for the purpose of hunting richer game in the husband ranks.

Strictly speaking, they shouldn't. Expressing an opinion isn't really against the rules unless you're directly attacking or threatening anyone...

I've said it before I know it won't happen, but I don't think mods should be allowed to post at all.

3) I hate air.
4) I hate time.
5) I hate the universe.

America should take a lesson from the British and setup their very own Australia. Consider it my platform if I run for the highest office in the land.

I'm gonna build and island and dump all our undesirables on it! We can circle the place with ships and anyone who tries to leave gets BOOM'd.
