Belatucadrus Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 BTW: It was the English who stole the America's from the Indians.I seem to remember something called the American war of independence, so don't blame us. Canada and other territories under British control no doubt had their problems, but we didn't go in for stuff like Wounded Knee or The trail of tears. Or slavery for that matter.So no passing the buck on that one thank you very much.We did borrow India from the Indians but we gave it back, can the native Americans expect their real estate to be returned any time soon ?

Robbers Dog Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The wholesale massacre of the indigenous population of America was carried out after the war of independence and had nothing to do with the British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 It was all that Spanish and English blood our founders had in their systems. :lol: I agree I certainly took my point to the extreme. However, it is certainly true that most countries, including England, have done the same, perhaps worse, that you blame Americans for. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
