| QUOTE (Guinea @ Jul 9 2005, 09:56 AM) | Yeah. You know, some countries don't allow Darwin's therories to be taught. So I wouldn't wonder if they would only tell the children how great and holy America and their president is, but don't tell them the mistakes they make.
I mean, here in Austria we know about the politicians and the history and what bad things we did in the past. For example we kidnapped the British king, and now we hate Turkish people. Some politicians talk loud about that they don't like Turkish people, but at least the population knows about that. There's even one guys who doesn't believe that Hitler killed jews and is a politician.
If such things happend in America, they wouldn't tell the citizens. I guess.
Oh. And do you know about the Indians? I wouldn't wonder if not. |
We all know what we did to the "INDIANS" (I guess you mean the NATIVE AMERICANS?), but I'd really like to know what source you got this information from. The information I'm referring to is the alleged fact that every single American doesn't know about our country's history.
If you actually attended American public school, you'd know first hand that children are not taught that our country is "holy" or how great our president is. The first time I learned about American history was the third grade (as far as I remember) and I do remember learning about how we took over America, but not in detail (We were, what, eight at the time? Yeah, teaching us how we raped native americans is a great thing to teach eight year olds. But you're obviously a scholar and a professor seeing as you know everything, so maybe I should leave that up to you?). I learned about the horrors of what we did to native americans in seventh and eighth grade. And yes, we did make mistakes, I learned that as well.
But what I'm saying MUST be a lie, right? Because you know all about America, and American children and what they learn, so what you said must be true, right?
No, you're not anti-american at all!

I fail to see what this has to do with our discussion. Darwin's theory is simple: creatures evolve. They evolve because the creatures best suited to the environment live, whereas those that are not die. This causes the populace to all adapt to its environment quite logically. This contradicts Christianity

Which quite simply does not happen, you dolt. Stop making assumptions.

Americans began as descendants of Europe, when they were making colonies in the New World. America was at that time thirteen colonies on the eastern shore; and they didn't like being ruled by Europe. They claimed independance, fought for it, and won.
While settling, there were
Wrong. Native Americans; be politically correct, will you? These Native Americans constantly fought against the settlers because said settlers were taking their land, which the natives believed belonged to everyone, which is quite within reason. Natives were slaughtered, raped, discriminated against, and otherwise disrespected and humiliated. This was not the end of such.
Also of note, anyone of dark skin was referred to with excessively vulgar slurs and were slaves.
England, Spain, and France were eventually ousted from the Americas. Such wars occured during this time as the French and Indian War, which should be self-explanitory.
America then spread to the west, to border Canada and Mexico. They now cover the entire north continent.
1. The Louisiana Purchase forced several natives into reservations, which were also taken away from them 2. A border skirmish in Texas produced a war between America and Mexico. 3. The argument over slavery caused quite a bloody stir up in Kansas. 4. This argument was not unique to Kansas; it was all over the country. The southern area (The South) and the northern area (The North) were very close to opening fire on each other. President Lincoln was elected and swore to make the whole Union share one belief on the subject ("...a house divided against itself cannot stand... it will become all one thing, or all the other..."), and this caused the South to secede. Lincoln said no and
The Civil War was the most destructive American war in history. On one side, you have a bunch of loons with lots and lots of factories; on the other side, the South, you have a bunch of hillbillies with greater experience and skill, but horrible in the supply department.
In summary, the North won; but both sides lost like half their soldiers. More people died here than in the American Revolution and some two other rather large wars I forgot combined.
Industrial Revolution limits visibility with excessive pollution, and persists to this day
World War I is somewhere around here, but I never studied that.
Bla bla bla bla bla
Hitler killed about thirty googul people, mainly the Jewish. America didn't want to have anything to do with it. Japan ran over and bombed Pearl Harbor. America got pissed and bombed Japan, Germany, and everywhere else; after the war was done, an international agreement was signed to stop playing Who's Got the Biggest Bomb, because it would end up decimating the whole world.
