    Oh, please. That excuse is going to be recycled like the garbage it is for the next 100 years. Italians came to the US with the clothes on their backs and are now in general very well off. Same for people like Korean immigrants etc.

    Every boxer has been smaller than I expected except the klits and Lennox.

    Wilder is only about 6'6 and probably slightly smaller.

    Yes, his legs are incredibly skinny. But he is incredibly broad. I am a large human being and I was surprised how wide his shoulders were.

    He and Stiverne talked **** to each other and I was surprised how small Stiverne was. There was no doubt in my mind wilder was going to beat him when I saw them close to each other.

    Regardless, wilder is an impressive specimen in person.

    Right that's why. Obviously every majority Black Country, particularly African counties, are virtual Utopias with hardly any crime and top of the line technology.

    You mean enslaved them before selling them. I'm talking per capita crime. Not raw numbers. No, Arabs do not commit more per capita crime.

    No problems in Britain?! The country that recently has been said to have crime levels in their inner cities comparable to South Africa?

    Ahem. Most of the infrastructure that remains is exactly thanks to said colonization. If they hadn't been colonized, there wouldn't even be roads there, much less electricity.

    I was listening to an interview with a man who used to live in Africa and he would pass from French territory to non-colonized as wonder if he stepped back in time and ask what happened? War? They would reply "that's easy, we never received the benefits of colonialism." Hahaha I'm not kidding.

    LOL I just put my car into the garage with the keys in one hand and a kukri in the other. My brother stays in Britain and says if I were there I'd be a notorious criminal. Here in SA I am a model citizen :lol::hey

    So colonization of a country is a good thing in your opinion. No negative effects resulting therefrom.

    Russia has a higher murder rate than many African nations Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Zimbabwe etc despite these being much poorer countries. It has double the murder rate of Rwanda.

    the stupidity reached in this thread boggles every sane mind. Unfortunately dumb people often lack awareness of their own stupid.

    Wow, I have had this discussion a few times :D One could well argue that there are ill-effects for that generation of colonized. But when the colonialists leave, the subsequent generations are left with the progress that the more advanced people brought. One generation's suffering is the next generations cars, roads, books, clothes, medicine, educational system etc. The gain outweighs the cost that the grandparents paid.

    Colonization has really helped the American Indians in our country hasn't it?
