Hey, it only took Canada 100 years to apologize to Ukrainians for xenophobia. 100 years from now we can say sorry to Muzzies.
What preposterous BS that OP is. Why would I feel guilty about things I had nothing to do with? I'll feel guilt over only my own mistakes, and as soon as I understand I've made one I'll try to fix it. A lot of things make me sad and angry--residential schools, missing and murdered women, racism, sexism, priests diddling children, etc.--but I had no role in any of those horrors, though I'd immediately agree that we as a society are bound by duty and honour to try to fix them. I'm a university educated, English speaking, healthy white male, a child of great privilege for which I am duly grateful, and except for the work I did to get the university education I had no choice about any of those facts of life. I'll agree that my privileged position puts a certain burden of responsibility on me, but I'll make no apology for circumstances I had nothing to do with.
In the larger picture, most days I think we're a plague on the planet and it would be better off without us. The geological record shows there have been five mass extinctions in the history of life on earth, and the evidence indicates we're causing a sixth one. The end result for all species is extinction anyway, the vast majority of species that have ever lived--99% by some estimates--are extinct, and eventually it'll happen to us too. But in the meantime, I think we should try to be nice to each other--and I mean everybody, all 7+ billion of us--and enjoy life while we have it.
Yup, that's the usual run of excuses, evasions, and fallacies.
Whatever you need to tell yourself, dude.
Not my first rodeo.With no offer of any good reason, explanation, or argument.
Not my first rodeo.
Your position is just a way to benefit from all the good things your forbears did without doing anything about the bad things they did. Seen it a hundred times.
It's "case in point."Are you trying to guilt trip me :lol:
Here we have Tec trying to give me progressive guilt for the actions of my ancestry :lol:
Your not even offering a argument, to defend your position.
And now we see the difference between Tec and I.
If I'm not a progressive twit who subscribes to guilt about what my ancestor have done, I'm a racist a bigot.
The idea that I exclude a group of people from joining my country based on the fact they conspire to commit mass murder, is racist and bigoted.
The act of calling me racist and bigoted is a attempt to make me feel progressive guilt.
Case and point.
Because you don't argue. You make up a position, ascribe it to me, and then refute it. You're really just talking to yourself.Now I remember why you never want to argu with me. :lol:
Ah, gay and sexually variant. My, you are quite the church lady, aren't you?Maybe you can go guilt trip dexter, he's a real progressive twit like you. :lol:
You two would be the perfect progressive couple. Sado-masochism
It's "case in point."

I think you may be out of your league here.:lol: Sorry you feel you can't bring any real arguments against me.
Now I remember why you don't bother arguing. :lol:
Maybe I can feel a little guilty for you for exposing your stupidity. :lol:
I think you may be out of your league here.
Pride goeth before destruction.If I am, why can't he bring one good argument :lol: Tec is a hack
Tec is logically handicapped, it's like arguing with a retard. :lol:
Functional illiteracy is not the disease, it's the symptom.
What, that you're functionally illiterate? The proof is all over the board.You got nothing
Prove it :lol:
Can you give us a case and point?You can't prove it because my arguments are sound.
You just can't accept them because it will mean that your a fraud..
Can you give us a case and point?
I don't administer medicine to the dead.
