Reply to comment by shpydar in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar

How long do you want to do this? Just admit you shouldn't have listed Italy among colonial powers

Sure, the Italian nation-state inherited Italy's history of never colonizing the Americas..

Why would I admit to something that would be a lie? Especially when I have countered all your questions with cited sources backing everything I’ve said.

You seem to be unwilling, or unable to give me the same courtesy I’ve given you and backed any of your opinionated statements up.

Italy is listed as a European colonization nation as I have shown with sources due to their incorporating Tuscany and its history.

Scotland is also considered a colonizing European nation due to its attempt to colonize in the Americas and its partnership in the U.K.

Perhaps it may be time to educate yourself on European colonization instead of needing me to educate you?

It is a lie, or rather a falsehood, to say Italy colonized the Americas. That is simply a matter of fact. This one expedition you desperately searched the internet to find rather than concede that point predates Italy by 250 years..

Scotland bankrupted itself so badly in its attempt that it was forcibly joined the UK. Nobody lists either nation among colonizers of the new world. Sure, Scotland may bear some responsibility as part of the British Empire but that's besides the point

You ask for my opinion and not only do I give it, I back my statements with credible sources showing how my opinions are based on fact.

You just spew your opinions but your complete lack of anything backing a single thing you have said shows your opinions are not based on anything but your emotions.

I have shown you, with cited sources that Italy and Scotland are both listed as colonizing countries, and I have given you cited sources for the reasons why.

I don’t care that you disagree with the facts, your emotional opinion doesn’t magically make them disappear. I have given you ample space to counter my arguments with credible facts and you have failed to do so.

You have become insulting and demanding that I lie. You are clearly not interested in having a genuine conversation so I see no reason to continue attempting to have one with you.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Good luck to you.
