Check your history. America was born of violence. Europeans came here and wiped out most of the aboriginals or native Americans as they were later called. Then, they simply took what they wanted. Spaniards living in what was Mexico were killed or thrown out. The entire Southwest was once part of Mexico. Check out the Spanish names on everything there. We humans are the most violent life on Earth. We cannot survive without killing and devouring other life forms. Get real.
True, the Spaniards living in Mexico were there for centuries before northern Europeans came along to rip it off. Of course, that was centuries AFTER the Conquistadores of Spain came and destroyed what ever natives were there before them. I those days, men wore swords on their hip then replaced them with guns. When Colt came along, newer, faster killing machines began to populate America.
Agreed. We humans are violent selfish assholes. And there are varying degrees of assholery among us. Unfortunately, the USA is now headed by a Grade A fucktard asshole in the white house. And Religion turns assholes into bigger assholes too (as evidenced by politicians running things).

Too many people fall for "The Disney Version" of life...pure idiotic nonsense.
