You talking about Christianity?

Wow, quite shocking but it does shine some light as to where your thought porcesses roam: Hint a dark and oh so scary place.
To simply dissmiss them as "savages" is the height of ignorance IMHO.
Also if the Americas was such a wasteland then why come at all?
Also they were "Green" before it became trendy in our day and age
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you skipped history one day and went to see the Rambo marathon down at the Bijou. But this type of mindless chest thumping patritism seems to have afflicted many these days
Oh the irony, you just refered to the native Americans as savages yes a meer few sentacnes later proclaim yourself to be "tolerant"

Don't put words in my mouth! Where did I say the land was a wasteland?
They settled here because of the land and NOT the inhabitants.
The land was NOT a nation when the first people from overseas occupied the land. Its was a desolate wasteland with nothing but savages roaming around. They lost, we won. End of discussion.

That's quite a statement.
Sorry mods, I'm out of here with my off topic comments, but I could't let this one slide by.

I guess its better than your brainwashed, politically correct & lame place.
The Rambo marathon would be better than the PC dribble you are posting.
Do you always put words in peoples mouths or do you intentionally misrepresent what a person said in order to further your lame point.
Where did I say I was tolerant? I am not tolerant of PC and lunatics like we have in Iran.
It has nothing to do with the color of skin.

Yes the Iranian president came a quite a shock to many people here in the US. Not quite the boogyman or raving lunatic the US media made him out to be.

Let Israel control the region. Seems to me there will be the peace.
I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards, whether he told the truth or not. When starting and waging war it is not right that matters but victory. Close your hearts to pity. Act brutally, eighty million people must obtain what is their right. Their existence must be made secure. The strongest man is right.
