Agreed. Who do those Spaniards think they are, just stealing an entire continent and claiming it as their own? The nerve.
Such a lazy, sophomore year in HS argument.
Who the hell was that one tribe stealing land and raping women of that other tribe and claiming the land as their own?
And before that, the one tribe stealing land and food and raping the women of that other tribe and claiming the land as their own.
Or how about that one tribe attacking, raping and murdering some peaceful Puritans near the coast?
Or maybe, how about that one tribe stealing land from another tribe and selling it to the white man from Europe?
Or maybe how about that one group of Africans selling that other group of Africans slaves to the white man.
Or maybe it's reasonable to say "hey, lot of conquering and bloodshed out there. Lot of ugliness. We've all come a long way."
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder how hsi head would spin when he realizes that virtually everyone except the aboriginal's effectively illegally immigrated to the Americas.
Our entire continents founding has been via forced immigration.
using the term "illegal alien" here by this user is exactly the thing i was talking to Yoxo about. Using the terminology as de facto reason to treat other human being's as inferior.
The SECOND you start allowing for humans to be treated like they're not humans purely because of nationality, you have lost the plot. It shows a crass and dramatic lack of empathy, and basic human decency.

you mean those very same loopholes that the rich and powerful helped create for themselves, that are only available to the existing rich and powerful that almost none of us can take advantage of?
That's not true.
Stop fomenting class warfare.
If you (not you personally) think a little but throughout the year and then again at tax time it's not hard to save some money, which is all a loophole does.
