US Infects Guatemalans With Syphilis During 1940s Experiments

Panel Reveals New Details Of 1940s Experiment | FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/08/30/panel-reveals-new-details-140s-experiment/)

It was horrible and wrong, but, with that said: Communism, National Socialism, Western European Liberal Democracy.

Feel free to rank them from best to worst in protecting individual rights and "doing good" in the world.

Look, we have many blotches in our past. Unlike many other societies, we are able to say "Oops - we screwed up". Sometimes it takes a while and there may be some hand ringing, but, ultimately, we are okay with fessing up to our imperfections, recognizing them as imperfections and trying to prevent them from happening again. Many in Japan, for example, are in denial about its "Rape of Nanking" (most acknowledge it).

We aren't perfect. At least we admit it.

For the crown of the most sinful nation in the history of the world America is in direct line of succession. Though knowing there are less perfect and more sinful members of the royal family ahead of us make one feel at ease.

Not even close.

Not even close.

Only because you sell America short.

Come on we are talking about letting prisoners bang prostitutes to see what happens. I'm guessing we had a line around the jail. I fell sorry fo the mental patients because it sounds like they got injected and did not get the chance to bang the prostitutes.

You Prankster....always ready for a party!

Yeah but acknowledging doesn't make it ok.

No. The world hates us b/c we preach an ideal (respect for individual human rights and supremacy of the individual over the State) but, as a practical matter, fail to live up to this utopian ideal by our use of the necessary Real Politik that preserves the society preaching these ideals.

In other words, the rest of the world latches onto our flaws in order to justify the envy based hatred of our success. Simply put, we are an easy target b/c we are not (shockers) perfect, yet we preach and, as a society, assert an idealic goal.

It's easy to hate the Patriots.
