    so you mean it was a big leap for THAT SPECIFIC BRITISH COLONY to do those things...
    not just a big leap in general for the 18th century.
    i see.

    Just going to end this little argument with a great quote.

    EVERYONE IS EQUAL, BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

    zeke, even if in the US slavery was only fully abolished in 1865, what governmental form was the most prominent one in europe at that time?
    exactly, monarchy. and just because slaves where not black, doesnt mean that proletarians had more rights here ...
    ... also it would be wrong to say, "well there was lot of change in the late 1700's, but it has nothing to do with the what happend in the united states".

    So I head out tonight only to find Federation Square filled with US flags and messages saying "Happy Independance Day U.S!"

    Pretty wierd seeing as before now I'd never heard of it celebrated outside of America.

    Are you implying that you don't accept being an American in other terms?

    That is why this country makes me sick. America has lost its self. People no longer care about freedom. If only the people here was like they was when this country was started or like the people of Egypt. This country could be great again. http://youtu.be/ThvBJMzmSZI
