    I'm choosing to believe the spelling mistake is intentional for extra mockery of FF.

    You are very bad at math, aren't you. That means less than the size of a small city spread out over an area larger than the UK and Ireland combined. So, yes, virtually all of the land was essentially unoccupied when white settlers showed up in California. Yes, it is sad 100k people died (mostly due to disease) but, no, the state was not made by genocide as you previously idiotically claimed.

    That still doesn't prove I'm a white supremacist. I haven't made excuses for these people. I have one simple question which nobody seems to be able to answer. I haven't said one thing in support of these people and their cause. I haven't said anything about the Civil War not being about slavery, what I said was that most soldiers didn't fight for the preservation of slavery.This is a true statement. I also haven't said anything racist. I'll wait for your evidence though.

    Not surprising @Anna thinks two sentences are too long, she should probably just stick to pictures.

    And now you're just full of shit and backtracking.

    At this point we're going to need solid evidence from you that you aren't a white supremacist. :bailey:

    Federal Fascist, you may have been able to get away with string random thoughts together to form an argument last year but that won’t work now that you’re in ninth grade. It’s probably best that you don’t try out for debate team as that would be embarrassing to all involved.

    We don’t want you to fail, Federal Fascist. High school is a time to make mistakes but you ultimately have to pull it together. Can you imagine an adult trying and failing as hard as you? Of course not. That would be embarrassing and likely lead to a drain on society. Welfare. Medicaid. Food stamps. Unemployment. Soon substances get abused and you could end up in jail.

    Don’t fuck it up. Now your chance to turn your life around befor it’s too late.

    I just stumbled across this and while it made me laugh, I felt like it was extremely fitting for the context of this thread.

    "Tearing down these statues of Darth Vader would be erasing history! Sure he did a lot of bad during the war, but in the end he felt regret!"

    Well if you go strictly by what we see onscreen it wasn't Darth Vader who destroyed Alderan without warning, killing what millions? more likely billions.

    That was Tarkin.

    You can ignore the later attempted destruction of Yavin 4 as it was undeniably a legitimate military target.

    Hitler did a lot of bad things but hey, he killed himself. That’s redemption in a sense!

    He escaped justice to die on his own terms without being forced to properly account for his crimes.

    How is that "redemption".

    You'd be pleasantly surprised how much support you can get for erecting a statue of "the guy that killed Hitler." :async:

    Hello, federal fuck up is white trash and that is their career path when not in jail for drunk driving or failing to pay child support. It is not like he can get a job given his responsibilities for the klan and Nazi chapters in his town. Those counter protesters are not going to run themselves over.

    Liberal weenie. I suppose you would have sentenced him to a 30 year prison term.

    If Hitler had stood trial he certainly would've been sentenced to die and then hung.

    But.

    I'm wondering if a better punishment would've been for him to live in prison for 20 years or so before being killed. Long enough to see West Germany grow to become a prosperous, humane democratic country where everything Hitler believed in and shed blood for was reviled by the German people.

    And to see his beloved Germania (Berlin) and Prussia (area around Berlin) occupied seemingly permanently by the hated Russians.

    There is an old grave yard out east of east village off the 94 freeway that is pretty damn old. A lot of people buried in the 1890's through 1940's there including some who were Confederate veterans who later moved here and died. In the 1920's the Daughters of the Confederacy paid to build a private monument in the section of the graveyard where old Confederate vets are buried. Now some activists want it removed.

    Personally, I am against this because grave markers are just markers for the dead, it is in a fucking graveyard, and this is just such over reach by preening fucktards.

    Battlefields, cemeteries, and museums. Leave Confederate stuff in these places alone. The rest of it can be taken down and put in a museum.
