What?
No, to say you endorse society but completely shun rape, genocide, and oppression is like saying "I can't control what happened in the world before I got here. I wish none of the bad stuff happened, and that people had lived in harmony from day 1. I wish no one had ever been raped, or killed; I wish no one had ever felt the need to rape, or kill. But we can't change the past. We can acknowledge it, and remember it, and give our gratitude, our respect, our thanks, our sincere apologies, to those who died to get us where we are today."
If I could go back and undo all the rape, genocide, and oppression, I would. Would you?
No I would not. Why? Because actions have consenquences. If you change something like slavery in the past, you forever change the future. For instance if we abolished slavery before it even took root In America how many African American do you think their would be? Look at the parts of Africa Slaves were pulled from, where do you think the better place is to live?
Like wise what would happen if we did not push out/kill off the native American population?
We would not have been able to develop this country. we would be tied to tribal life.
That may not sound so bad to our hippy population but ask yourself
What would happen to a stone age people when faced with the SS and their MP-40, K-98's, the jap soldiers with their Type 38 and type 44's not to mention Messerschmitts and Zeros?
Or we would have fallen to any number of conquorers before...
If you truly resent the genocide this country was apart of you could always give what you have back, as the genocide was not total. No? want to keep your stuff? yeah, well me too.
Believe it or not even rape has it's place in the assimilation of one culture into another. If not for rape we (the majority) would all still live in xenophobic clans, all related to one another in one way or another. How long before our genetic material was too corrupt? According to the example The Modern Amish population has provided about 8 generations.

As Rythm has back himself in to a position where he feels justified in his ad hoc remarks, rather than speak responsiably citing and referencing his claims as I do. Plus the fact none of you wish to discuss the actual topic, I'd say Yes the wolves have been defanged.
(No need to kick in teeth if they remain kicked in.)
Or should I use:
