Please English Dude!!! Dont even try to act all high and mighty, where the hell do you think the idea came from anyway. Why dont you tell everybody what an indentured servant is? Mabee they dont teach history in your increasingly commie country (weve all seen the cameras EVERYWHERE!), but last I checked America exists basically because of a total lack of freedom across the pond!

Alright my remark was a bit overboard in some regards, The British have shown to be some what gravitating towards socialism, but not full blown communism and Im not gonna argue that
Originally posted by DredulousThere is just an unbelievable onslaught of day to day issues going on in this country right now.
Originally posted by DredulousHaving said that, though slavery was made illegal in the time you said, you have to admit there where slaves though they where given nicer names.
Originally posted by DredulousNot even 1 percent of our population is even related to anyone who owned a slave.
Originally posted by Dredulous Slavery was a very bad decision on the part of a few, and now the millions that had absolutely nothing to do with it have to pay for it daily. Absolutely is there no way that a fake and forced apology would be anything but absurd!!!

It looks like we are far more like-minded then I though initially, thank you for your very poignant response. There is no arguing the high degree of British linguistic abilities. There are just so many (myself included) who are constantly on edge about all that is going on right now. I wish you the best in your struggle and am happy to now my county is not the only one in this battle against socialism! Again I had no business mindlessly calling you a commie and for that I sincerely apologize.

Without killing the Indians - we wouldn't have the USA.
Without slavery - we wouldn't have the African American race in the USA.
Without history - we wouldn't be here.
Why try to change the past...it happened, its done, and we moved on like we should.
