This is pointless. I'm not going to argue with someone who actually believes capitalism is never wrong. It isn't worth it.

Since 1/3 of the blacks that came on slave ships died I'm pretty sure they did a pretty bad job at it. They didn't care if they died or not because they could always get more. When 16 million die that can easily be counted as a genocide. The killing of the culture plays a role in it as well.

It's not very useful to consider anything pre-industrial revolution to be Capitalism as we know it. Certainly nothing before 1776 when Adam Smith published "The Wealth of Nations". Probably nothing until Marx came along to define what it was not. Hard to say what the economics was, in the days when most ships sailed under the direction of Kings.

I forgot to reply to this earlier but radar and rage, read this carefully then re-read it about five more times because you two don't seem to get it.

I believe rights are made by society and that is what helps keep us in order. I follow and respect most rights that are made by our society. I will never hurt anyone, make someone do something against their will like slavery, or force my ideals upon anyone else.

If you do not understand what I just said, don't bother because you never will.

The Middle Passage is supposed to be a good book related to this discussion. I haven't found time to read it, yet. However, I found a website here that has good info for inquiring minds.

Genocide denotes intent.

that's why they call it dope, bub.

Speaking of people shooting each other, I just watched blood diamond. Has anyone else seen it?

These people look like a hoot to party with.
Look at their profiles...

they look like a bunch of fucking weirdos

Ya' think? Every profile is the same, they all say Swinger and Bi and every profile has weird 80's music on it.
It's a gun cult.
I enjoy shooting and all... but, I doubt that ten year old kid has a class 3 license.

Like I said, fuking weirdos. ;)

I would love to hear their entry exam... "Soooooo... who do you and your wife like to screw?"

Or how...just to make sure they 'fit in' and all.

Bi chicks with guns are hot n' all... there is that.
There may be something to this... hmmmmm....
Who is this master?
I think I may be starting to see tha' light!!!!

would you pretend to be a gun weirdo just to bag a cute bi swinger chick? i might.
