Genocidal racists will always make up some dumb "justification" for their crimes, but which one they choose is pretty irrelevant. What do the Spanish have to be proud of, anyway? A fascist military dictatorship until as late as 1975(!), and now the nearly bankrupt ass of the EU that sticks to subsidizing lethal bullfights while their king goes hunting in Ceaucescu's Romanian hunting grounds. Oh, and they still have an empire of drug banana republics and they still use African slaves. > Indians didn't make good slaves because they had bad immune systems? No, because they weren't obedient enough.

What exactly is the difference to the Amaranth we can buy in the shops today? Btw, Amaranth protein has way too much arginine, the amino acid that makes you susceptible to viral infections. (I'm not making this up.) That was the reason I had to quit Amaranth. > I hate to encourage Chris in this, but his comment about the surgical > lottery of sacrifice in the Americas is another typical European comparison > to avoid exploring what was really going in Europe at the time. The > sewage systems were horrendous. This example shows how absurd your sweeping generalizations are. In Switzerland, even the smallest mountain village has a sewage treatment plant (or connection). This is the land of clean water -- and should be (because we're upstream of everyone else). But the EU CAPITAL Brussels didn't even have a sewage treatment plant in the year 2000, and even today they only clean a part of their sewage. > Is it any wonder that so many people were driven from Europe given the > system and that so many chose to leave just to escape the power of > Aristocracy and the Church? This is the height of absurdity and illogic. So the scum who killed your 98 millions was really GOOD GUYS who left Europe in disgust about those really evil Europeans who stayed home!? Now I finally understand: The crusaders who went from Indian house to house killing the infidels in the name of the Church, were actually just "ESCAPING the power of the Church"!! Uh-hum! > Whether the lottery of poverty or sacrifice, the common > phrase was, "This year it has happened to you but it will happen to me and I > will try to be as gracious in my loss as you are." (Aztec ritual comment > to a person being sacrificed) Sounds like "In this life, you're just my peasant, but in the hereafter, you'll be in Paradise if you give me all your wealth." (Note: This was the slogan of the Church by which it became the largest private landowner until today.) Empty Predator promises!
