Violence: An American Tradition (Part 1 of 6)

keep telling your self that!

listen kid! when there is systematic violence existing in a so called "Democracy", ofcourse one should ask him self, do we really accept this in our society, since we live in a "democratic" society, we SHOULD be able to remove these kind of acts, and punish the perps.

democracy has nothing to do with violence--don't be stupid.

If this is democracy(USA), then I dont know how failure looks like..

remenber kids who ever has the power, controls the difinition.

the education system is fucked! they're still teaching kids that columbus was a hero.

The point is not that America is exclusive in its very violent traditions. Certainly other countries have extremely violent pasts as well. What is important to note is the context within which violence takes place in America because all forms of violence are not synonymous.
I'm not sure how we might go about proving the assertion that we are "still the most powerful moral force in the world." And "An educated man(or woman i assume) would agree." Really?! Says who? Too Fundamentalist I think

I'm an American and proud to be one. However, to say that we are the most powerful moral force on this planet is a gross overstatement. I wish it was true though.

Every country has a violent history, America is not alone in this. Also, consider our unique position in many things. We're still the most powerful moral force in the world. An educated man would agree.

I remember seeing this when it first aired on HBO undercover....I've been thinking about it ever since....some 12 years later.
Thank you for posting it...it's a program that will leave you contemplative and a lot more educated.
Bravo!

This is great.

Don't forget the blacks. They hunted down the Indians and were paid 5 dollars a head.
