Now of course this is not aimed at you.
Are you referring to Asia as mostly China? Or the middle east? Philippines and others don't really seem to be part of this discussion en masse. And I guess that China hasn't forgotten? What did we do to them? They are the ones with the money and resources right now and not the others. Are they acting out of justice in representation of another country exploited by the West?
Remember, if you've read Confessions of an Economic Hitman, you'd know that the west made deals with the leaders of those nations and those leaders exploited them. Slaves that came to America were sold to the white man by the leaders of those tribes in Africa as that was just normal business of the day.
I would say that it's only in this modern time of the last 80 years or so have the West been taking by force, but deals are still being made behind closed doors with lots of money to be made.
My point is about the deals being made and China's deals with the U.S. have only made each of them stronger. China can't and won't do anything to hurt the U.S. as we are their mule pulling the cart.
Firstly, I don't have an obsession with westerners, I'm WHITE.
Secondly, you said "saying the East will reign is divisive". To which I replied "well the west ain't gonna reign forever", to which you said "Your own words betray you I never said the west would reign forever.
I suggest you take a good long hard look at your posts.
Firstly, I don't have an obsession with westerners, I'm WHITE.
This has got to be the funniest thing I've read in days!
Secondly, you said "saying the East will reign is divisive". To which I replied "well the west ain't gonna reign forever", to which you said "Your own words betray you I never said the west would reign forever.
Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired, and if you are going to quote me then quote me, but if you are going to paraphrase me it is inappropriate to put quotations marks around that.
and nothing divisive about declaring it is the Easts time to "reign" either, right?
Once again, I am not declaring it is the Easts time to reign, for it has already begun. If you truly believe the West will reign forever than I am afraid you are deluded, my friend.
Once again your own words betray you. I never said anything about the West reigning "forever" or at all. This is your obsession, not mine.
Why is that funny? You continually told me that I have an obsession with westerners when I basically am one!!
Thats your quote.
There you have it, see where you tried to put words in my mouth? By saying my own words betray me? Where I was clearly responding to a previous question.
Westerners come in more color than "WHITE".
Nobody is putting words in your mouth and your words do betray you, time and time again. Of course, why I should expect a delusional fool to understand that is a question I should probably take a long hard look at
Well I am not American am I? I told you I am Australian so that should have given you an idea.

I ask you why anyone should rule over anyone and how you see "The East" oppressing the rest of the world is morally different from "The West" oppressing the rest of the world.
Justifying it by saying "they did it first!" doesn't make it morally right, it just perpetuates the historical cycle of hatred and oppresion.edit on 7-5-2012 by Mkoll because: (no reason given)

Hmm. Very interesting. Same thing (British) happened to Iran I've recently learned. What source might I go to to learn more along those lines?

The Aborigines are not "WHITE".
Further, you offered up no proof what-so-ever as to my "error". Reification is not "proof", Dude.
Australian Aborigines (play /æbəˈrɪdʒɨni/), also called Aboriginal Australians, from the Latin ab origine (from the origin), are people who are indigenous to most of the Australian continent — that is, to mainland Australia and the island of Tasmania.

Sorry. You gave me a short history lesson on the British bombing China to make them say "Uncle!" You won't find that in our American history books. Nor will you find anything regarding the truth to US policy like with why we are "against" Iran.
