Because we definitely are experienced at it. But, it seems like, we can dish it out, but can't take it...

I love your questions, well to answer it: nope, it's not okay...for anyone...and it definitely isn't okay to take over and kill over people's land and then say they 'won' it....

White people didn't "take over" Japan, China, Viet Nam, Korea, Afghanistan, the Philippines or any other nation in about 150 years that I can recall.

We'd love to leave a peaceful Iraq right this minute but they're not peaceful and, even when we suggest leaving, they insist (as do many of our leaders) that it would get much worse than it is today.

But, I'm assuming you're really referring to the current immigration issue (just a guess, here, seeing as your question showed up in the "immigration" category.

Here's the vector. The crux of the biscuit.

They don't need "land". And they're not coming here for "land".

If Latin Americans had everything in the modern world except "land", and, hence, wanted OUR"land" they'd be settling on U.S. soil and starting huge factories building Plasma TVs and luxury cars, starting their own schools, hospitals, universities, libraries, etc. Just like they're doing a "great job of" in their own countries (sarcasm).

They're not, though. They're coming for work and lots and lots of free services. Honestly, without those things, how many do you think would come here? I'm amazed when I see people insist that they can't get free services without a SSN. Of COURSE they can. Read Plyler v. Texas.

And if their kids are born here, despite every conscientious effort on the part of the U.S. Senate from 1866 to 1868 to prevent birth-right citizenship, the Court betrayed this country and reversed their clear intentions (read the Congressional Globe of the 39th Congress). Hence, they sit by the hundreds, day after day in emergency rooms and clinics, medicaid cards in hand, and get all the freebies I and my family have never, to this day, been able to get.

For whatever reason, only Costa Rica and Brazil have managed to build stable systems of law and thriving economies.

Nice attempt at a spin but I'm afraid we can see through it.

I know you have written that you don't take Yahoo ?s seriously .... but you really strike me as a self-hating woman.

Just a thought, based on a couple ?'s I've seen from you.

As for this question, it's so dumb I won't dignify it with a direct response.

As for an earlier issue ... if you think that illegals pay taxes to anywhere near the tune of the public resources they soak up - everything from welfare to medical to public infrastructure usage - you are as gullible as you are self-deprecating.

Seriously, at least on the immigration issue, you should reevaluate the way you are approaching the debate.

And stop hating yourself!

No, I don't think it's ok for anyone to take over any lands. I am not going to allow anyone, no matter what color they are including red to "take over" anything that is mine. My ancestors and their allies didn't tolerate trespassers before the whites came and neither will I. It's in my blood to fight, my great fathers were warriors, which I am very proud. My family's actions has lessened the pest activity on our ranch land, I can just imagine how (censored) it would be if we did nothing to stop it.

Besides you give the little people too much credit, they haven't taken over anything.

It was cool 100-300 years ago. We don't do that anymore. The reason we can't take it is because we are afraid of being called racist. I don't know why people even care anymore. There is so much going on today that we shouldn't be playing the blame game. Nobody cares...

Do you just think that white people are the only one that lives in the world? If you are referring to the United States we have every race in the world living here. Every race has done something to make the world a little worse. Stop blaming whites and do your part to make things better.

Colonizing other lands isn't only a "white people" practice, it's occurred in numerous other cultures and societies, even preceding Roman times, back into cave-man era.

But more to your question, I'm not shocked but am certainly very disturbed at humanity's terrorism. The US, it seems, is the only country that repeatedly has a need to overthrow other governments, destroy nations and then get bogged down in decades old occupation (think Granada, Panama, Iraq, etc.). Please understand that while many racial groups live in the US, it has been mainly "White politicians (as there have been no minority presidents or VP's)" who have declared war.

However, I need to add here that this practice is hardly limited to "White People," as land overthrows (on the very small scale at times) and colonizations exist in Africa, the Middle East, South America, etc..... even today, from within their respective countries.

I don't think it's right for any people to take over other people's land. And just for the info, it's mainly the richer european countries that took over other countries, (Britain, France)

The natives who lived here were done wrong otherwise, we bought this land, so stop listening to those illegals who think they have any right to it.

If you gave me a dollar for a candy bar, do I have the right to say you stole it, then try to take it back so I can eat it.

By the way, it was done way before my grandfather's time.
I'm tired of paying for the sins of my ggggggg-grandfather.

I guess the lands that our government and military take over are not really desired places to live. They're just places with valuable natural resources.

go figure.

its not ok in either cases, our government nor people across the border.
