[QUOTE="El Correcto, post: 3807098, member: 60631"] Ricky not everything involved in imperialism and colonization is a bad thing, you don’t know what Honduras was before it happened. I think about Charles Napier when it comes to putting down savage aspects of colonized cultures as a pretty good example of imperialism helping to progress a culture. “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.” [URL="https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Charles_James_Napier"]Charles James Napier - Wikiquote[/URL] Westernization of these countries is probably the only reason they have modern systems of government and economic means. They’d still be centuries behind.
