Unless you'd like to provide a source for your claim that he "took the crown and threw it on the floor and went back home to Mt Vernon." Because there's not actually any evidence he was ever actually presented with an offer to be king to begin with. Yes he fucking was, omfg what is this REVIONIST CRAP?!

garan 04/25/23 4:52:02 PM #67:	Slavery has existed throughout all human history and still exists in parts of the world today. Lots of 'great' people have owned slaves, and as someone mentioned Muhammad is literally worshiped by nearly 2 billion people today. The Pharaohs of Egypt owned slaves. The Ancient Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, etc. owned slaves. Many great historical figures did amazing things and yet owned slaves. Hell, the Woman King came out a year ago and it's literally about slavers with a fictionalized main character inserted to try to make the civilization look better. If we want to go to something more recent, plenty of companies profit from slave labor today. And lots of people venerated Steve Jobs even though Apple's success is built on the backs of slaves and children. If anything, what is 'odd' is that people today are able to see the troubling nature of the world. For most of human existence, that was a luxury afforded only to the very rich. But let me get out of the way, if the rest of you merely want to yell about presidents and other crap like that. <cite>garan posted [p:973071280] in Isn't odd ...

Foppe 04/25/23 5:47:08 PM #99:	deoxxys posted... Difference here is that what the Nazi did wasnt a everyday way of life everywhere. Slavery was normalized, taking people and putting them in encampments for torture and murder wasnt. The Nazis didnt invent concentration camps and they were not the last one to use them. The word comes from the Spanish word reconcentracion, and they used them in Cuba at the late 1800. UK and Germany used them in Africa in the early 1900. During WWI they popped up everywhere. UK, Germany, France, Russia, Turkey, Austro-Hunhary, Brazil, Japan, China, India, Haiti, Cuba, Singapore, Siam, New Zealand, and other countries. These WWI camps were at least nicer compared to both earlier and the Nazi ones, at least in the more civilized countries. And while they mostly only had "foreigners" and, depending on country, had enough food to not starve to death, they made it acceptable that a targeted group might turn itself in and be detained during a crisis, with a reasonable expectation to one day be released without "permanent" harm (mental illness and shattered minority communities wasnt seen as harm back then). The Ottoman on the other hand used them for their Armenian genocide. So yes, concentration camps were a normalized thing back then, the Nazis just took them to the next level. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
