The westerners on here willing to overlook their genocide of natives, butchering of slaves, slave trade, rampant insurance corruption, minimum wages that are under poverty lines,
just say "hey....they....they're doing the thing....they can't do that we already did it".
Remember the UK had TRADE ROUTES for legitimate slave trade sanctioned by the east India trading co.

Yeh but its the equivalent of me having been in jail for armed robbery telling other people not to rob a store. Just because the west did bad things doesnt mean they dont have a point. Challenge their motivations not the message.

Not really, "bad things" doesn't summarize centuries most criminal behavior in history. It is not the same.
A better analogy would be you having murdered, raped, pillaged and become rich off of hundreds of innocent lives, and THEN telling someone not to rob a store.
Qatar could take a lesson on morality, but not from the west. The west does not have a high horse to sit on.
I have nothing against the modern western world but I have something to say about hypocrisy.

Sure but you can still tell someone when something is wrong. Just because they were animals before doesnt mean their message is meaningless.

Was never an argument, an observation. Criminals don't have a high horse to sit on, and that works both ways. No one is right, but no one is better.

So? We should live in the past or learn from it and look at the future ?
