History, Religion and things that make you go Argggggggggggggg


1) The Spanish destruction of a way of life, a technology, a culture in South America that we will never now understand. And why, for gold and fame. It is true that as an Englishman, it is hard to take the moral high ground when it comes to conquest, subjugation and oppression. And it is true that we have plundered other countries natural resources, but as far as I am aware we have not carried out mindless destruction. When historians question how did they do XXX, the answer is we will never know.
2) Religious iconography, and the abuse of the need of people to believe in something. We saw a church were bones had been used for decoration, it is disgusting. We also saw a place in India were people go to die. A city where you are encouraged to drape bodies with expensive cloth, that then gets burnt. So people with no money, are ‘forced’ to spend money that would be better spent on food, than the ‘required’ stairway to heaven.
3) Rich kids playing poker with peoples lives. We are living during a time where a bunch of moralless morons, shape the world economies based on whims. It is criminal that these talentless pariahs are able to bring the world to its knees and force governments to ‘creating’ money to support the world. We the normal people will be paying for this for the rest of our lives. Capitalism is fine, but meaningless speculation is not capitalism, it is Russian roulette, and if these Muppets want to play, I suggest they take the traditional route and use a gun, preferable full of bullets!
