Porforis,

I'm not asking for anybody to be punished. I'm merely saying that these people are descendents of uncompensated victims that were swindled. Should they be compensated for it now? The general consensus is that the answer is no, fuck em, I didn't do anything. I just don't agree with the general consensus. Your comparison to poor officiating is a stretch, but OK. When and if law suits are filed and reparations happen, I just won't be one of the uneducated jackasses holding a sign with mispelled words. I'll just say, well, it isn't like their ancestors didn't suffer for what the descendents are getting now.

And thanks for injecting that bit about uneducated jackasses holding signs with "mispelled" words. Aren't you using a browser with auto-spellcheck?

Well I might be arrogant like you say, but what you just propossed is assinine. And it really isn't the conquering of them that bothers me so much, it's the fact that we are able to justify what we did to them and feel we were righteous in doing so. I don't subscribe to Machiavelli philosophy - there are huge consequences to everything we do.

My humor is wasted on you obviously P. I'll always mess with the tea party because they are the definition of sheep. Actually I feel bad for them being the uncompensated foot soldiers of the wealthy, and the reason I say that is because everything they do and stand for benefits the wealthy and not them. Their ideology of lowering the deficit is sound, but not at the expense of human services and that is probably the main reason I was never sold on their rhetoric.
