Haiti-Total disaster!!
-
But when other nations experience horrible natural disasters, it is a great opportunity for people all over the world to show that they can rise above human nature and help out their fellow man, because there is a great need.
-
Yep, and the same thing would have happened to America had they not won their war of independence. America was doomed to be an over-taxed and plundered colony if she didn’t win a major war against occupying, colonial Britain (with no small amount of help from France, who was a rival of Great Britain).
What a pile of utter horse shit.
Australia and Canada seem to throw that rather absurd and frankly hysterical little hypothesis out of the window. Neither these two countries were ‘plundered’ to the point of becoming third world countries, and it’s laughable to suggest that the United States would have become a Third World country if it hadn’t of shaken off the shackles of British rule.

I guess the natives didn’t budget enough money for national defense. They won’t do that again.

Perhaps in future the natives will invest in more tech rolls and spend their IC more wisely next time :wink:

They should also be leary of diplomatic agreements with Europeans.

Good thing he didn’t say anything bad about the french colonial influence on Haiti.
Whew. Close call.

Whatever. You don’t have a crystal ball either, so how do you know?
Like the other guys said, the US was plundered. The Indians are gone. -
forget I said anything. thanks.

This thread has gone from talking about a disaster to politics. What a disaster! Oh it looks like we have come full circle.
-
OK, I didn’t think it through and it was a stupid post.
Thanks for pointing that out - it’s removed now.
You could stand to learn about something called “tact”, Starke. Unless, of course, you enjoy difficult relations with people.

You can’t talk much about a disaster in Haiti without getting political, really.
It would be like talking about the human condition without talking about God. Oh wait, a lot of people do that.There, I added “religion” into it too, for good measure.

Whatever.
[Edited for being a bait - GG].

How do I know? Because there’s no historical evidence to suggest anything that you’ve proposed could have happened, thus your little theory amounts to nothing more than mere uneducated guesswork. There is no historical trend to suggest that the United States today would be a Third World country if it had not of won it’s war of independence.
I don’t need a crystal ball to see that, there’s enough sources and EVIDENCE to counteract such a farcical take on the course of history.
Under your [Edited for being a bait - GG] theory one may quite seriously suggest that Germany is currently planning to start World War III, and has been slowly building up it’s military strength since Unification after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, as revenge for the loss of WWII: HOW CAN YOU TELL ME THAT’S NOT TRUE? DO YOU HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL?
Like the other guys said, the US was plundered. The Indians are gone.
There was no US in existence at the time, so the US couldn’t have possibly been plundered.
-
Guys this isn’t a political thread. Could we keep the politics out? Thanks…

You’re right, GG.
Sorry I got someone going - I’m out. 8-)

You apparently didn’t see this post, Starke???
I said, I didn’t really think it through, and it was a stupid post. How often do you see someone admit that?Why are you piling on? Looks like you got edited twice in one post for baits!

no problemo, we’re just debating. :wink:
Thanks.

I saw that post, but I don’t see what that has got to do with my reply afterwards.
It’s good to see that you admitted it was a stupid post, but I had already written my response by then.
With regards baits: I do not believe telling someone that an idea or thought process that is immature can seriously be considered ‘baiting’. People should take responsibility for what they say, and if they say or act immature or unsophisticated then they should be called up on it and held to account.
-
You’re opinion is none the less a bait. The rules state it as such. The point in a debate is to have natural discourse and to prove the points of another person wrong, not attack their character. And furthermore, this isn’t a political forum.

I don’t know, but I had some beef bourguignon yesterday and it was the BOMB.
And then for lunch #2 I had lamb & beef shwarma. Damn am I cultured!
There was no US in existence at the time, so the US couldn’t have possibly been plundered.
This was obviously a comment about geography, not political bodies.

Hmmm. OK.

Oh, you mean like using terminology like “steaming pile of horse sh*t”? I’m sure most would agree that is both immature and unsophisticated.
