Bizarre. He's apparently from the country which smashes Haiti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Bertrand_Aristide#Return_to_Haiti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Bertrand_Aristide#Return_t...), yet he's troubled about religious groups. How can such an article be high on "Hacker News", yet there is no serious analysis of why things are as they are? Do "hackers" ignore the context of problems they work on?
Do clueless Brits and Dutchmen fly to countries their governments ravaged, and scratch their heads about such things?
- ClashTheBunny 12y agoI hear British people say the exact same stuff when the get to the US. It's a pretty standard reaction...
- mercurial 12y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to say here? That Britain ravaged the US?
- ClashTheBunny 12y agoSorry, it was just a joke. I am neither in the party of people who thought that British overlords were that bad nor that they were detrimental. It's more of a joke that we were a former colony and would be an example of the former overlords coming in and pitying the former colonies. "Oh, these poor people don't have health care provided for them. Wow, these people have pretty dismal public transport. Did you notice all of the police presence with guns? This is probably a pretty dangerous place."
