Bud, no one is questioning you being an American. History by definition is a past tense.

And its no an argument of "other countries do it" rather a statement of fact that the advancement of one culture over another has been a constant from the dawn of time, including the domination of Homo Sapiens over other sub human beings.

There are so may instances of this not being true.

And they're Natives. They were here before we called this place America.

Mexicans, Canadians, Nicaraguans, Brazilians, El Salvadorians, Colombians, Cubans etc

Don't act the dumb ass son! It doesn't become you.

You know, I used to think that we could sit down, have a few drinks, a few laughs and a rational conversation. You seriously put that in doubt.

Dviss is very nice, you would enjoy your drink.

And if you didn't and I happened to be around I would pay for your drink.

And I would slip a roofie in that drink while Sly is busy licking his balls.
