Your remarks were highly civil and if that is the "worst" of you, well you are welcome in my home anytime! There are some folks that spend their lives being so critical of the USA I often wonder why they still live here. But, back to your comment.... very well done indeed!!

Speaking of ignorant attitudes; just how do you suppose the Iroquois, Abenaki, Sioux, Cheyenne, Navajo, Apache and Yaqui Indians acquired "their" land? They got it by forcing the original inhabitants off the land. By war. Force Majeure. According to the Gospel of Obiwan Butthurt, it was perfectly hunky-dory for the Sioux and Cheyenne to murder and enslave the Pawnee and Crow Indians to steal their land, but a major crime against humanity when the White Man did it to the Sioux and Cheyenne. Why do you think that the Pawnee and Crow Indians sided with whites during the wars against those tribes?
How about the Iroquois and Abenaki, whose confederations held other Indian tribes in constant terror, or the Navajo who wiped out the Anasazi and came close to doing in the Hopi?
Want to get into the Aztecs, who sacrificed tens of thousands of victims belonging to conquered tribes, or the Incas in South America who weren't much better? The Indian population of what became the US and Canada was fairly sparse when the white man arrived, about 2-3 million. The Aztecs and Incas sacrificed between 500,000 to one million victims on their altars over the period of their own empires.
(Most of the Indian population of the "New World" lived in Mexico, and South and Central America).
Cortez could not have beaten the Aztecs without plenty of help from their subject tribes who were tired of being sacrifices. Pizzaro, to a lesser extent, did the same thing to the Incas. Montezuma of the Aztecs and Atahualpa of the Incas were not exactly innocent dupes.

Sadly, you come off as a pious snob who no doubt is more than willing to take the credit for anything positive his ancestors may have been involved with, while being too obtuse to understand that "all lives matter" and our actions reverbate eternally in time -not just the now. You should really be careful with the juvenile insults too because you are using a computer....and I am the guy that can find you.

That read like a blatant threat from here.
I seriously doubt that Mr. Seth does intimidation, but it shouldn't even be attempted here. Bad on you.

Smedley_buzkill

I'll try and keep this simple enough for you to understand. There were waves of migration from Central Asia to the Americas. The original inhabitants are extinct, replaced by newcomers. Life is indeed not a tit-for-tat show, especially for a snarky little Pharisee skidmark such as yourself, Obiwan Butthurt.

Seth

Wow, you definitely should not assume so much, my fine feathered friend.

Everything you have opined in the above post was way off the mark, and threats? You are really out of your league there.

"Finding" me for the purpose of making good on a physical threat would not be to your liking, unless you have a lot more training and background on that sort of thing than I do, and trust me, that would be quite a bit.

As an added element of your adventure, the fact that you are hostile to the country I love and for which I have spilled blood would not go at all as you imagine.

This whole diatribe about immigrants to these shores...and Indians. What a bore. So misleading when we consider the problems of these current times.

Ha ha great quote about the beer/Cola

Yes the term gringo is actually a term of endearment.

Just like Harp or Mick is not disrespectful to the Irish. But like you have indicated it’s all in the way it’s used.

La palabra puede ser neutral o un insulto. Es como se usa.

Ok ya got me Arch, what's a "Dagwood" a power washer for the commode? Is that you on steroids? Hope you can take a joke

It's from the comic strip "Blondie." Her husband Dagwood was always eating massive sandwiches.

Drop the Gringo discussion.

The question remains: If a fool lies down in the highway where semi-trucks roam will you do the same because someone said "hey, that looks like fun?" What excuse can you give for the atrocities committed against the Indians and other minorities? The Indians were willing to live in peace, and even accepted being relegated to horrible conditions of the 'reservations' - but that was not enough for the greedy whites of their day. Do you realize that our very own US Army was ordered to literally "exterminate" the Indians -this was not a bonified war -simply genocide of a whole group of people. Yet, instead of showing any empathy, understanding, or remorse -people like you seem to take pride in your dirty deeds. No worries though mate -if you don't change you will receive your just reward come Judgement Day. sad. BTW - your petty and juvenile insults speak volumes about your character. Were you raised in a trailer park or did you attend college for 4 years to reach the level of "chit for brains?" Asking for a friend.......

Smedley_buzkill

The question was, "if a fool lies down in the highway were semi-trucks roam would I do the same? No, I would not, I don't care how much fun you say you are having. Some Indians were willing to live in peace and others were not. I'm not taking pride in anything, I'm just pointing out to the historically illiterate that the Indians themselves were not saints. By the way, your own disingenuous and puerile insults speak volumes about your education, not to mention your character. No need to ask if you attended college for four years to reach your own level of incompetence. One look at the drivel you post is an eloquent answer.

JediKnight

At least you admit that "some Indians were willing to live in peace..." So then, why was it necessary for the white man to try to annihilate ALL Indian tribes, and thereby steal the land? The obvious answer is simple: GREED. If you believe what I post is "drivel" you are free to ignore my posts and go on to the next person. Trust me, it won't hurt my feelings in the least.
