Those who fail to fully understand history are condemned to repeat it, and in my experience Americans are rather inept at understanding their own.

I am in France. This is nothing BUT racism.

After ruling the World us white people are found wanting!

Then why do those who fully understand history also seem to repeat it? Could it be the greed, narcissism and other mental deficiencies also play a role, perhaps a bigger role than merely understanding alone?

Greed and narcissism indeed. You’ll get no disagreement from me on that one.

let's say caitlin's churchill quote was very effective. churchill is established empire on which the current empire is built. (come to think of it, nice counter to 'do you condemn hamas?' (or mao, or stalin) - 'do you condemn winston churchill?'.)

Me either Helga. My late brother and I had nightly phones calls to one another and every time the connection’d be lost, we blamed the Ziofilth.

Sorry, I’m not seeing any deleted messages on my display of the thread, and I have personally not deleted any, so I don’t know either.
