[_Simpson_ 250]

You mean, like those of us who weren't alive for the creation of Israel, but are still paying for that because of White Guilt?

Scratch that

You do not get to choose what "to give", they should take whatever state they like. Besides, if you live in Alaska, please do not offer up other states for a give-away!

We could give the Indians California.

Why_me is referring to "per capita" and "real" Indians. Not Hollywood Indians. Most of which are far from being "native" they are simply people from other places that got here before Europeans.

If that is what he meant, then he should have said so. Are you now his spokesman, or his English composition instructor?

Why was it perfectly acceptable for Indians to war and take each others lands.... but when whites do it........

INdians took and traded slaves, no problem.

Indians as a whole were no more, or less noble than we were.

Danno, you've managed to reduce this issue to a singularly false statement. I really can't tell if you're being disingenuous, or just willfully ignorant of the facts.

Actually Danno pretty much nailed it with that post imo. Danno got game !

Indians didn't repeat their sins on six continents.

Thats because they had not yet invented toilet paper.

IN other words... they would have if they could have.

My bet.

The aboriginal civilizations in the Americas were full spectrum, from bare subsistence hunters and gatherers, to exceeding anything the Europeans accomplished in many areas. The Europeans, however, did have the wheel, and acquired the knowledge of gun powder from the Chinese. Perhaps that, and flea bearing rodents, was enough to subdue the locals.

That too. And the longbow.

So, following your logic, Whites and Natives aren't equally noble. Whites are less noble since they sin on a larger scale just because they can.

And, they didn't have toilet paper back then either. They didn't even like to bathe.
