yeah

i never said he was perfect, or a particularly good person to anything that wasn't human, but i can't really fault him for being born in a time period where animal rights wasn't even a meme

it's like condemning a toddler for not knowing how to balance a checkbook, or a caveman for not knowing how to tie shoes

now just carry that line of thinking over to killing people and you've got an unironic rationale behind the defense of Jackson.

Verb, my respect for you as an American and a lover of history increased tenfold.

Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite president too!

Not only that, but at that time 99% of the species he killed weren't endangered yet. The animals he killed were sent to the Smithsonian, I believe, and contributed greatly to scientific knowledge. Furthermore, Roosevelt was a major conservationist, and it was he who established the national parks.

Another interesting fact about Jackson pertaining to beating his would-be assassin with a cane. When his assassin came out only feet away and fired his gun at Jackson it misfired, so he pulled out a second gun and misfired as well (the chances of both misfiring is 125,000 to 1), during the investigation afterwards, the pistols used were found to be in perfect working order and there should have been no reason for misfiring at all.

In all seriousness, no one outside of (maybe) Fox News pundits should be upset about this.

And if you are, reevaluate your life.

The natives treated animals well.
I hear they treated Sandtrap well too.

Fuck off

The Lord Ruler · April 21, 2016, 12:18:59 PM

Why not just make a new bill.

How about a $12 bill you know it being 3/5s of a 20 i feel like it's appropriate

Seems the consensus is it's pretty okay, and we should love Teddy more. Where IS the Teddy appreciation?

If you really disapprove of Jackson, you might want to consider keeping him on the $20 bill. The man killed the national bank, he hated the idea of a government bank, and now here he is on a $20 Federal reserve note. Do you honestly think he would be upset being removed from it?

Quote from: Azumarill on April 20, 2016, 04:35:51 PM
no its nice to be able to kick jackson in the balls by removing him from the $20

I'd just like to comment that I think they added him on the $20 solely for this middle finger. I love how ironic life is.

Im just clearing up the fact that Andrew Jackson isn't banned from every school in America

Good. He was a mass murderer.

No one mentioned that they want to put someone on our currency who broke the law... is this their way of encouraging their citizens to ignore the rules and do what they think is right?

Yes
Let's reinstate 18OOs laws
And fuck Martin Luther King right?
Damn nigger should've sucked Jim Crow's dick

Also if you want to talk about laws
Jackson straight up refused to enforce a Supreme Court ruling which led to the Trail of Tears
