Roman war crimes are laughable compared to most. It took them 1000 years to do what many did in 5 or 10. Very clean record. Gladiatorial combat is not necessarily a war crime, but it certainly isn't humane.

Caligula being inhumane was basically just in Caligula's reign. Caligula was quite literally the worst, and after him there really wasn't anyone as terrible. And you didn't mention any war crimes, and Caligula's actions are necessarily atrocities still, just very inhumane.

Rape is the only war crime you could come up with, so that's 3 war crimes. Also, you say Ancient Carthage, but I will correct you in that Carthage is of Classical Antiquity, not Ancient.

Cleansing the Gauls? The Gauls and Rome were at war, I'd say most of those casualties were from the slaughters Romans could pull off at battles.

So what we have is Raping and Ethnically Cleansing the Jews and burning the city of Carthage to the ground.

Not to mention, Romans' contributions far outweigh any war crimes. As I said, 8 million in 1000 years, when it only took 15 years for them to kill 350,000 in war it doesn't seem illogical that they could have killed all those people in battles, and not as war atrocities.

8,000,000 / 1000 = 8000 every year. Not awful.

Belgium was so bad that they were mentioned in a Billy Joel song. Just saying.

"We Didn't Start the Fire"

The Ottoman atrocities ranged from raiding and killings to large scale enslavement, "Pagan Zanj" (Bantu) were often kidnapped and mutilated and then sold in slave markets. There were so many sold that there is now a sizeable Afro-Turkish population in Turkey.

Oman and Muscat atrocities in Africa came from when Oman 
occupied Portuguese colonies near the Great Lakes Region and started to engage in the slave trade as well.

Why are we still bitching? (Rhetorical, not sassy) Let it go. It happened, get over it. We compensated, we apologized. As long as it doesn't happen again. We've seen the horrors, so anyone with any sanity will stop. And the rest need to be dealt with, preferably in a psychiatric ward.

This follows my general theme on this forum. Keep it in. If we all stop complaining about "Racism" or "The Confederate Flag" or "Religious Equality" we might live in a nicer place. You can have your own opinion. Just don't shove it down my throat.

And this was a thread I made to do a little educating on a subject that I think is under represented , then you come and start yelling about how I want to execute and enslave Europeans.

I guess you were so busy being whiny that you missed the bit where I said, and I quote:
"If there's some good reason behind this, I apologize,"

Fine if someone ever mentions 9/11 I'll use the same argument about them being whiny , get over it America you got your romp in the middle east it's over.

I'm not American, and while 9/11 was terrible, the problem was partially solved, and it hasn't happened again in such a large manner. You don't see posts detailing the Armenian Genocide, or the Spanish Inquisition

You are the only one whining here.

Given you were complaining about my response, I consider that whining. But I'm done arguing this subject, as you don't seem to care, and are now only attacking me, rather than refuting my points. Goodbye.

First you say I want to murder people, then you say I am shoving my opinion down your throat then you call me whiny and when I call you it you say I'm just calling you names. Well I think I should start calling you names, it's more polite then what you've been doing to me.

Polish-lithuanian grand duchy.
Never committed vwar crimes... I'm pretty sure.

Oh, they have. Mainly against Russians and Turks.

Oh. Well.

But the main point is, to say that Europe's atrocities against Africa are particularly bad compared to others is absurd.

BTW tupac, in all seriousness...
You're a stupid piece of shit.

All this stuff, it doesn't matter. It happened, we can't change that, and likely as not, it will happen again. You could say education, understanding, more strict laws on racism, something about religion, atheism, science, more money for poor people, etc., is the answer, but it's not. A power great enough to stop genocide would fall to corruption. And frankly, nothing can stop corruption. People will always be corrupt, have always been corrupt. Hell, even the Union couldn't beat the confederacy without committing what was basically war crimes in Georgia!.

Get over it.

It's life.

Blacklisted for reviving this thread. You can't shut up at least once can you? You always have to fucking revive threads to share your damn opinion, please next time just shut up.

I never understood the point of blacklisting somebody because of how they act on the forums. Blacklisting doesn't stop you from seeing their forum posts or anything.

Blacklisting is pretty useless, but it does prevent their dumbness to coming to your games.

I mean I'm pretty sure everyone else here had him blacklisted anyways.

Blacklist him for reviving your thread??

^ @ Homeless.

I'm kinda a bit of a troll here.

But in all seriousness, the real reason "Tupac" (major smedley) is blacklisting me is because I offended him by pointing out a realistic flaw in his thinking in making this thread.
