Same reason it was right for Germany and Japan to pay reparations for years after world war 2 and people who weren't even born yet bore some of that cost.


Why should they have paid reparations? The US probably has destroyed more infrastructure over the years than any other country in the world.

You can't really believe that. The U.S. is only about 300 years old and you think we caused more destruction that thousands of years of other countries?

I thought they received the Marshall Plan and lots of money to rebuild Japan not paid reparations....

Wow, you've been gone for a long time. Long vacation, or just get out of prison?



I basically moved away from gambling and, by default, stopped posting on message boards tangentially related to gambling but, yesterday, for some reason, I thought about this board and thought I'd come back and see what you all have been up to

A lot more infrastructure to destroy in the modern world than there was in the 1776 when the population of the world was well under 1 billion and many of them didn't have any significant infrastructure. Modern warfare is also better at destroying infrastructure.

It’s nice to see you, in any event. Definitely good to know you’re doing well.

The first video shows the CNN host trying to interrupt Vivek as he responds to her question.

The second shows Federal law enforcement firing rubber bullets and teargas grenades into the crowd of peaceful demonstrators.

Had McCarthy allowed Republican members to participate in the Jan 6 heatings, we would have see this sooner.
