I was just trying to be funny anyway (obviously once again my sense of humour has failed :( *sigh*). No I actually agree with you, colonialism had very few if any good effects on the world. And to argue that the few things that could be considered good out weigh the bad that it has caused would be foolish.

I guess my only defence of it would be it wasn't just Britian colonizing it was most European countries at the time, and Spain treated the natives much worse than Britain did. Also Britain was far kinder to the natives than the Americans were. Most of the subjugation of the American native came after the Revolution, not before.
