don't really care about that part, it's the conquering attitude, the violence it spawns, the primitiveness, the intolerance, the demands for respect without giving it, the feelings of superiority...
That's like the history of Western civilization, empire and colonialism, rolled into one sentence! But before you tell me, "that's all behind us now", I have one word to offer: Exxon. (I have more if you want them.)
Oh man that's weak as hell, and they will kill you for much less. Tell you what, I'll move and live near Exxon's headquarters, you move to Saudi Arabia. Then you'll have it better, deal?
I may go to Saudi Arabia, but you're going to Nigeria. Neither one of us, if we "talk too much", is going to do very well. Which was my point, the West's violent history isn't over.
