You mean like burning widows on the hubby’s funeral pyre; or inventing a cage filled with starving rats that fits over a person’s head as torture (China); or how to kill 300,000 Chinese in Nanking?
How about when the Japanese samurai saw an American warship in 1854 (I think) and waved their swords at it? That’ll stop those evil westerners from landing! Or when the British found a kingdom in SE ASIA where the king drank a potion made of human hearts?
I mean, you do realize that those societies were barbaric and brutal kingdoms, where thought was quickly extinguished? Of course, one could take solace in the Baghavad Gita…
…the US is barbaric in it’s own right, so don’t confuse the issue here. You think Europe didn’t have barbaric rituals in it’s day? Think again. Societies come and societies go, just be succesful at being human HH. As far as i can tell from your postings though, you severely lack noble human attributes like compassion, empathy, understanding and love for you fellow human beings. Subjective i’m sure, but because i equate succes with those attributes, you failed miserably at being human, so what are you boasting about?

Justice must be a hard concept for you, huh?
Tell me, do you pass out flowers at the airport?
If being human means that there is no right or wrong and that I’m to have ‘empathy’ and ‘understanding’ for barbarians and stupid flower children like you, then No, I’m not human.
Now, go screw yourself.
