Actually, the North American continent has been amazingly peaceful for the last century or so compared to Europe, Asia, S America and Africa.

Isn't it the point of this thread that the "amazingingly peacful north america (u.s.) has been the aggressor in those situations you mention on the other continents?

Captain Nathaniel Gordon practiced the wrong trade, slave trading, at the wrong time, 1861, and he earned the dubious honor of being the first and only slave trader ever executed in America.

While ships were seized, execution of their captains was not the practice. The ships were sold as prizes and the crews of ships that made the arrest were given shares of the proceeds.

Slaver captains and ship owners usually only suffered the loss of the ship and cargo.

Fifty plus years and one hanging...I can see why slavers were so afraid of the u.s. navy

tommy boy, everything I posted was facts. What were you saying was an opinon? You are kinda like a left wing version of sanity. A cross between a 3 year old saying why why why why and an ankle humping mutt. Yes, the US has done things that were bad for other countries. They have also done things that were very good. You pooh pooh 4300 potential slaves saved in 2 years. Tell that to them and their descendents awwwwwww hell, just let em go on to Brazil or Cuba. It's only 4300 or so.

Try posting something that you claim is a fact. I need the target practice.

All I have asked you to do is back up your weak shit. So far all we get is 7 interdictions and 4300 contraband slaves...and a lot of obfuscation and name calling. If you do not feel like educating yourself about the subject then why are you in the discussion?

Still stuck on that ONE eh little one? It seems you only see what you wish and ignore things that you don't wish to see. You say you have researched it a lot more than I..Let Me ask a question. If that is true, how is it you have found so much less info?

Key word. Executed in the US. If you are a captain, are you going leave your squadron to make a 3 month round trip to deliver a prisoner or are you just going to take care of things on site as it were? They didn't have helicopters and jet planes back then.

I'm truly amazed that someone can reach your age with so few reading comprehension capabilities.

Must be that traditional education you got back in the 50's. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have taken it any further.

This would be the opinion of a punkass motherfucker as opposed to fact. If any had been executed at sea there would be a record...that would be a fact which no punkass motherfucker has been able to produce yet.

As I said little one, I have a business to run instead of driving 8 hours to Norfolk to peruse their archives.

If you do not have the time to prepare yourself for this discussion then why are you in it?


Tell me, is that the only perjorative you can come up with? It's a bit tedious. I mean, I have fucked more than a few mothers. and I have 'punked' a few people as well


This is a discussion about politics not your imaginary sex life


but I have a feeling if you were sitting across the table from Me, you would be saying Sir.

First name calling now threats of a physical sort delivered from the safety of your computer screen...typical of all punkass motherfuckers

Again I ask little one, I posted facts, you have yet to show evidence that any are untrue.

This was the statement and question you responded to

We`ve also done a lot of good.

Wanna list them?

So far,punkass motherfucker, you have been unable to show shit in the way of what good the u.s. has done for mankind. The two examples you gave have been discredited. One as self serving treachery and the other insignificant.



Quit acting like a 12 year old or an ankle humping mutt.

One might sugest that punkass motherfuckers take their own advice
