Message: <blockquote data-quote="reapersaurus" data-source="post: 876498" data-attributes="member: 1194">hmm..   let me try to follow this.A general statement of mine, to point out how different playing in Spain would be from what most of us are familiar with (Americans), is restated by you as being American elitist.You confirm that the 'rest of the world' is not worse than America re: civil rights, etc.Then I state my belief that the majority of the world IS worse (in this regard).Then you bring up specific Spain-centric historical research, and refer to 2 other examples (England & India).How is Spain + 2 specific examples a refutal of my general statement about America as it compares to the majority of the world?I'm sure that if I wished (and had time/interest), I could bring up 200 examples of countries in the world 1978 that were worse than America in this arena. I'm not exagerrating.In retrospect, I'd like to clarify something that may be mistaken perception:I am not an "American elitist", whatever that may mean technically.That was Kitana's term, in reference to a general comparison of historical world human rights issues circa 1978.And I doubt that the board distaste for political discussion directly applies to In-Character discussion of world politics in a period adventure game, and I think we should wait for something to actually flare up, and/or a moderator posts something, to proactively censor/shut down interesting discussion.edit: personally, I am so anti-political, that there's really no way I can persaonlly get very worked up over political discussion.Now, discussion about how modern-day perception and beliefs that America tries to hide its past violations, etc, and how America is 'just as bad' as other countries, I will sink into like a triple-cheeseburger and curly fries.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
