[QUOTE="Headbanging%20Man:1166110"][QUOTE="Boozegood:1165997"] It was a faulty argument because it was a logical fallacy to begin with. In fact it was two, ignoratio elenchi, and a straw man. Of course history continues, history also changes. Right now, Haiti is a pile of shit full of (majority) shitty people, who will do nothing of substance on a large scale to help their countrymen. [/QUOTE] Ha! Yeah, like thinly-veiled racist statements demonizing a whole island nation of oppressed people is a cause for a QED... If you want to get all 9th-grade-logic-class about it, you might want to avoid the whole "these people are predisposed to eating dung and raping their sisters" argument for starters. Every country on earth is full of shitty people, and I have no particular interest/love/boner for Haiti or its people, but let's give credit where credit is due. A nation and people that have been essentially enslaved by world economic powers, most primarily the US (including corporate entities like Monsanto) cannot be judged outside that context, certainly not while the economic rape of the land is ongoing, and while its political system is subservient to the authoritarian whims from up north. And finally, it's trite, but worth remembering that US independence resulted in another 70+ years of slavery and a trans-continental program of ethnic cleansing, so it's not like we've exactly been a beacon on the hill since we kicked out the Brits...
