We gonna take this land from them Goddamn Pagan Dirt Worshippers and make this the City on a Shining Hill.

They lost the war, suck it up. Indians back then were nothing more than savages. It changed now, since civilization came to them, but it also destroyed theirs in the process. It's just how life always is, theirs wasn't the first to deal with being conquered. What's with you liberals getting hung up on 5th grade history lessons.

Engineering is about understanding a problem completely, examining all possible solutions, and choosing the best outcome based on values.

So you are not an engineer than Dan, cause what you described isn't what you are.

One of the reasons I stay away is you right wing clowns make me sick!

It ain't right wing, it's just Dan is a local communist who thinks that he speaks for the masses. All his solutions to everything is "redistribution". If you agree with Dan on that, I guess you would be in the same boat.

Ireland had loyalists who were JUST like you even while British were exporting Ireland's AMPLE harvested food and commandeering Ireland's fishing vessels on the high seas claiming famine, calling it Ireland's Potato famine when it was really England who had the failed potato crop.

Don't forget the British in India. They had an Irish Potato famine every few years.

But nobody will write the Black Book of Capitalism.

Wow, dude.

So, might makes right.

If Donald Trump pays off the cops and takes your house to build the "Trump Towers V", you'll be down with that?

Let's get rid of the judiciary, and save ourselves money. Anybody who can take somebody else's shit, deserves it.

Subtext is just another word for dishonesty. If a belief is good, you should be able to justify it openly and clearly. If you can't, that should tell you to reject the belief.

subtext is how humans talk to each other.

you cannot just say what you mean. the open and clear justification of a belief may be impossible to say either because you don't know it, or because it's a huge violation of the political correctness of your time and place.

it's a lot like dating 101. if you say "hey, wanna fuck?" you are guaranteed to get nowhere. but if you simply chat with someone else, the subtext is that you're interested in them, and if they chat back you are suddenly more likely to get what you want.

It's not might makes right or wrong, its that winners get to write history books.

At that time, it was right, we won. Our civilization prevailed, end of story.

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

I stand corrected.

Yep, and that is why your species is inferior.

Crimea is a shining example of such...

guess that makes SBH king of the hill...

The initial graphic is wrong. Trickle down works fine, it's just that it's been trickling down to China, Mexico, India, Brazil, Thailand for the past few decades.

SoftShell says

Yes, Crimeans are so mad they finally got away from Kiev's rule after 2 and a half decades.
