Reader comment on item: [Symposium:] Why Does the World Hate America?
in response to reader comment: General response
Submitted by Will C (United States), Jul 10, 2011 at 20:25
Funny how you would bring up how "we" took over this land from the native Americans when the decendents are actually Europeans...and bringing up such history is ridiculous in this debate because it wasn't even really known as United States of America at that point. Please educate yourself before expressing your opinions.
