DEFIANT- Doesn't matter what the mindset behind it was, a revolution is a revolution. I Mexico backed off, then they accepted the rebel's demands. No stealing took place. somerland- No Texas was not taken militarily. Read up on history and enjoy.

Roberry is stealing, if someone gives you their wallet while you have a gun. Do you think America was stolen or not? I mean Indians made treaties. Anyway, what would be reiable evidence to you? a mexican source? That was history. Both histories we tell are true and do not contradict each other. A problem that occurs between them are the motivations each side had. Both "thought" they were defending their land. |

They have worked against us since the end of the war. Even 20 years ago they wouldn't let us overfly their airspace. They are as important as something I scrape off my boot. |

No, it was WON in a war. Big difference. Was the US stolen from England? |

No, the U.S. was not stolen from England. If you say Hawaii was annexed then so was Texas (not by the U.S. but by the fromer Americans). Looking back, I still didn't get your point. Were you saything that because Hawaii was annexed that it was not a state that was once a nation? And Hawaii is like a whole 'nother country

The Texans fought and won their independance. Then, as a free Republic, they signed a treaty to join the Union. Hawaii was taken under more militeristic terms by coup d'etat. If one is to say that Texas was stolen from Mexico, then Mexico was in fact stolen from Spain, Canada from France, and Eastern Europe from Russia. |

Oh I'm dead serious. Alexander the Great worked hard making that empire. How dare those people steal away those lands? |

Europe was stolen from the Neanderthals. I think that we should work really hard with DNA and stuff like on Jurassic Park and recreate the Neanderthals and then put them back in the caves of Europe and all the Homo Sapiens then have to leave. I guess we need to recreate the wooly mammoths and the ice age too.
