So can common household items.
That's a stupid thing to say.

Why do you think most murders are committed with guns rather than household items?

Are you saying your murder rate is high because of Brits who live there, that the Brits are the murderers?
I have to admit when I went to Dublin for a job interview, riding those double decker busses, I ran into some Brits who were very rude and bullish.

You claimed majority-white nations like Australia and Canada are "doing well" because of colonization. Yes, it turned out great for the colonizers who remained in those countries.

The indigenous people suffered severe brutality and theft of their land and resources.

[quote]They rather steal and rob and kill to get what they want, so they do not like colonizers. ...[text shortened]... keep dunking on you about this issue, I'm not going to respond to any more of your off-topic racism.
Colonizers developed the country and moved it from poverty stricken backward islands run by indigenous people to viable nations engaging in profitable trade.

Had it not been for the British we would still be like Nigeria and Kenya, suffering in poverty and corruption.

Colonization is a blessing. Any country run by the black community is a complete failure.

Nigeria was also colonized by the British.

That doesn't seem correct.

Most sources say the exact opposite.
Here's some data that goes back a bit further. It shows a murder spike in the early 90's but it also shows that we have an equal spike now.

Yes I know, but the indigenous population is different. Some people respond to development while others do not.

I wonder who is the NZ dude.
Looking on the map, it is so close to Venezuela. I wonder why they don't claim it.

Like the slave trade?

The fact of the matter is those societies had been just as successful as European ones except for not enriching white plutocrats as generously as you think desirable.
