and ask a question. The western world has been vilified in the last 30-40 years for what happened with colonizing the uncivilized world. Americans have been vilified for taming the west and teaching savages civilized ways. Do you feel that stories of barbarians and uncivilized beasts of today not vindicate much of the expansionism that went on during the 18th and 19th centuries?
What I am asking is this- America and European countries have been vilified as being evil and wrong for civilizing the world. For instance we used to have cannibals in Africa and other parts of the world. Indians and Mexican tribes would have brutal human sacrafices and now in Kenya, people are burned for being witches. All stupid people. Why are we being vilified for civilizing these stupid people?
If people are not educated, they continue there stupid ways. Look at our muslim friends and the brutal things they do even today. Female sexual mutilation, stoning and raping of camel boys.
 
civilized? i invite you to consider how civilized you are with the war, killings, unhappiness, psychological problems at all time high, pollution, kids with guns in schools shooting at other kids, crazy parties. i don't think we are any more "civilized" than "barbarians." at least the barbarians live in harmony with the environment, animals, say "hi" to each other, and aren't crazy.

don't equate material prosperity with being civilized.
 
Nothing vindicates what is wrong. Because there are people dying does it give an excuse for everyone to kill? I hope not.

Making a country civilized doesn't require butchering the natives and replacing them. The western world almost wiped out the Aborigines and native American Indians. I wouldn't call that making them civilized as much as butchering people.
 
They taught US !!! ????????? WTF

I guess you think Hitler TAUGHT the Jews also

Civilisation and actually being civilised are good things. I'm not too sure who'd vilified the Western world for being civilised but they're wrong. Who wants to go back to being savages and barbarians? Not me that's for sure!
 
Two wrongs do not make a right. African people were happy and well before the west conlinized it. The west made people so angry and that anger has passed though down the generations and people do not know what to vent their anger on. What may be civilized to you may not be civilized to another person.

When the British came to Australia in 1788 they too 'tamed' the indignous peoples. But many accounts have reported that the abourigenie systerm of living was the most workable in the world. It was simple. But oh so effective. And the British came. 100 000 years of isolation to perfect a systerm of "government" (it wasnt really government, but a tribal systerm) was wasted.

No two wrongs dont make a right.
