But you are claiming that the United States is blowing up kids nearly every day therefore the burden of proof is on you to provide some data to support your assertion.

Are you able to provide it?

There are many things that are widely believed that lack proof but, I didn't make any statement in support or denial of your assertion what I did was challenge it I asked if you had any facts.

I'm not disputing the drone strikes. But you mentioned that kids are getting blown nearly every day therefore I am assuming you might have some concrete data if you do I would like to look at it if you don't I'm okay with that as well.

That depends on the country. It is a silly belief though, considering that Spain herself wasn't fully developed until after they joined the European Union and began to receive much help.

I reviewed your links which support what I already knew that there are isolated cases of children unfortunately dying(which I think is terrible btw).

But it doesn't support your original statement.

It takes 28 civilian lives to kill a single terrorist leader ? UK human rights group ? RT News
Drone strikes kill, maim and traumatize too many civilians, U.S. study says - CNN.com
Predator Drone Strikes: 50 Civilians Are Killed For Every 1 Terrorist, and the CIA Only Wants to Up Drone Warfare - Mic
New data shows drones killed hundreds of Pakistani civilians
UN inquiry finds more civilians killed by US drone strikes than reported - Telegraph

I changed it to regularly not daily, I corrected my mistake but your government continues to kill civilians and kill them in a cowardly way I might add, some geek in a room who stops his world of warcraft for a minute to play real war.

And both our governments killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and are continuing to kill civilians while trying to fight ISIS.

I don't think its going to happen either because the US colonization of Hawaii was done very well. Yes, it's true that few Hawaiians descend from mainlanders and the upper class of the state is made up overwhelmingly by wasps families, many of which are descendants of the New England missionaries that arrived in Hawaii and began the process that ended their independence. What I mean by a very well colonization is that they flooded those islands with foreigners from Asia, the Pacific islands, and even from Puerto Rico. All those foreigners mixed with the native Hawaiians to the point that today there is no such thing as true native Hawaiian. Most of the people claiming to be native Hawaiians are actually mixed race people with some Hawaiian ancestry. Whenever populations mix like that, it has an effect in politics becauss the descendants of the original inhabitants will be split in their allegiances. I'm willing to bet that most people with partial native Hawaiian ancestry don't want Hawaii to become independent.

Did you even watch the videos? Have a heart instead of being a bit of a denier. We all know hundreds of children are being blew apart - people who just ignore it are allowing it to happen.

They need to be gotten rid of by the people and nations of the middle east. Like the Iraqi army are doing in Tikrit. And Iran is more and more involved.
