Luxlord Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The one thing that infuriates me is the American History.The people who came to America were probably the most selfish people in history.I actually feel ashamed to live in this country knowing that it was stolen. I spit at those who think that they are the greatest because they live hereor that they are the best because they are American. It sickens me to know our "Great" country, was brought together so selfishly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only came here because we wanted to get away from the persecutions of our religion. America pretty much is the best country, there is little competition when it comes to us being a world power. I'm not saying we are THE best country, just one of them. *off topic*Isn't this a little spammy? You didn't open anything for discussion; you just posted your opinion.

HelioSpark Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 ^that is not the whole history of our country, that is one portion of it. The same thing happened to many native peoples around the world who were conquered at one point, like the Arawaks on Dominica, the Mayans at Chichen Itza, or even the way ancient greece was taken over by the Roman Empire. It is a natural part of this world, unfortunately. Many other nations and actions shaped our nation as well. However, I do agree that the Native Americans deserved more respect back then. Side Note: I'm part Native American^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know all about the Native Americans. In fact, they created a NEW chapter of history. Without the Settlers, we would have no United States; and to be honest no North America.
