Reply #2: That was, [View All]

in my humble opinion, about as racist a statement as I have ever seen on this board. Do you care to expalin further why European cultures are worse han those that practice, or have practiced, cannibalism (i.e., American Indians including Aztecs, Anasazi, etc., people in the Congo and the South Pacific Islands), head-hunting (South American Indians, people of Malaysian descent), female genital mutilation (Somalis, other Islamic cultures), slavery (just about the entire world, but let's concentrate on Africa and the Middle East)??

capitalism and land-owner ship, whatever their faults, and they definitely have them, are nothing compared to these practices. They permit the elimiantion of these plagues upon humanity by increasing the economic rpoduction of a nation. Do you think slavery would not exist if it was economically viable. I'd be willing to place money on a bet that it would.

So criticize capitalism all you want, but lay off the racist nonsense.
