  1. Africans didn’t get to the Americas on their own and they didn’t go willingly.
  2. No one understands crypto, that's why it's called crypto. All currencies rely on trust to hold their value, crypto is no different. Central Banks are about maintaining that trust. There is no such restraint on crypto, it's just another ponzi scheme.
  3. Whatever. More likely I'll be the victim of zealots who use a god to justify doing whatever they want.
  4. Florida ranks 26th in the cost of a post secondary education. Again, middle of the pack. https://www.move.org/college-tuition-costs-by-state/
  5. The French Revolution got the French the Reign of Terror and an Emperor. Before the mid terms it looked like the US was headed the same way. I've delayed judgement on that but the US might just be taking longer. Rights are a human invention and religion has a history of denying, not improving them. "God is on our side" has been responsible for more death and oppression than just about anything else.
  6. What war, the war that destroys democracy and personal rights? You may be right about that.
  7. Washington had a real army and wouldn't have won without French backing, not a bunch of armed thugs.
  8. So the 2nd Amendment is really about exterminating those who disagree with you, not about defending anything.
  9. It was a war of global dominance fought between an alliance of Britain and Prussia led by Britain against another alliance of France and Spain led by France.
  10. It will be decided at the ballot box, not by armed thugs.
  11. That was part of a world wide war between colonial powers as to who was going to be the big dog. It wasn't about defending anyone's freedoms.
  12. If armed civilians take power in the US, it won't be to defend democracy or free speech. The opposite.
  13. How is that defending anything? More like taking power by force and eliminating any opposition.
  14. Lots of countries manage to have those without a 2nd Amendment. Makes the US look like a country that can't grow up.
  15. There is no product if there is no customer. Without addicts there are no drug dealers. Without transportation, there is no oil industry. African slave traders were filling a demand. It's called capitalism. Africans were not forcing anyone to buy slaves.
  16. I'm not talking about Americans alone, people of European descent were responsible. Spanish, Portuguese, French, British and yes, Americans after they gained independence. Slavery was abolished in Britain and its empire years before the Civil War and it didn't take a war to do it.
  17. Ancients had slavery, the Roman Empire was built on slavery and other cultures had slavery over a thousand years before them. Europeans were responsible for Africans being enslaved in the Americas, period.
  18. White people are 100% responsible for slavery in the Americas. Africans didn't force them to bring ships over and buy slaves.
  19. Your "report" is from a right wing think tank and known conspiracy peddler. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Accountability_Institute
  20. Uniform means the same. What's so hard to understand.
  21. No one cheated but you have to cling to that absurdity because every other stupid thing you say depends on it.
  22. I never said he was Q but it's nice we can agree he is a nutter.
  23. That must make him the greatest in the world then. Considering Florida has had 46 governors that covers a lot of territory and must make you a real expert.
  24. Bad news for Agent Orange. Drumpf loses SCOTUS challenge to keep tax records from Congress.
  25. The Spanish found African's made much better slaves than natives who died too easily when enslaved. They were also much easier to spot if they escaped.
