thats the most idiotic thing i've ever heard.

Next your will see the native american indians suing the US Gov for all that was taken from them (hey, thats the whole US landmass! Man, them lawyers gonna be RICH!), all the descendants of Cotton field owners that lost their lands in the south during the civil war will demand reparations on.. someone...

and best of all, all the mexican immigrants, illegal and legal will also sue for human rights violations.

From the frying pan and into the fire!

My say? It wont happen. Ever. The media will have a field day though

Ah, then Denmark should repay Sweden for all its losses. And Sweden Denmark.

And denmark would have to comepnsate France,the UK and a host of other countries for marauding them back in the 1000's.

The various religions would have to PAY us heretics BIGTIME for prosecution, torture and murder.

This is ridiculous.

History is just that, history. It's one thing withevents like the holocaust, but this is ridiculous.

I read that link btw.

Ohmygod. I find myself completely argreeing with a conservative. Utterly so. Even think that dude has a very sharp intellect.

Geesh. Scary.

We still haven't forgiven Denmark and Norway for those Viking types taking our women.

grrr  

Back-dated historical accountability? Does not make much sense in most cases.
