JR-----I too have heard of that new find in North America-----
and what happened to it?????it disappeared long before the Euros showed up------do you think that it just wistfully and peacefully drifted off to
extinction??? I don't think so-----it was probably killed off by another bunch of folks that did not like them----other natives!!! It goes on, and
on, and on, and the peoples of the earth never learn---all of us.

Can we admit anything negative, permanently?
Thank you for the history lesson Pompano. It's a sad state of affairs that we we were taught that our forefathers were anything but blood-thirsty
opportunists.
I wonder if that is the norm throughout the world or is it just our (social) inherent duty.
It is no wonder so many people are/were duped into believing our country (and others) were settled by a civilized race.
Why can we not face up to our heinous past and except the downside of prosperity brought to Europe through it's explotations. We as a people have
learned to accept and live with lies taught us by generations. Where does it stop?
I see it everyday in the press. Still in denial.

Oh Boo Hoo, So Sad, Too Bad
Personally, I couldn't give a Rata's Nalgas over what happened to any of this continent's Aborigines. They met up with a superior bunch and came out
second-best and we, the descendents of that superior force, are the better for it. None of anyone's teary laments are going to change the past.
BTW, JR, your equating Sexual predilection and greed (past or present) with intellect is obviously defective. There are innumerable greedy and
perverted humans at both ends and in the middle of the intellectual scale. The difference is that, usually, the smart ones get away with it.
Viva Columbus and all of the other European Invaders.

Actually
Untrue to my native Irish roots, I was brought up to believe that the Catholic religion is based on idolotry and, therefore, pagan. As an adult, I
have adopted a more relaxed view of THAT religion and ATTEMPT (sometimes unsuccessfully) to take a benign approach when the subject comes up.

"...we, the descendents of that superior force, are the better for it."
Oh, the ******** nonsense of the Irish. So were the protestants or the catholics the more superior? (oh yeah - that made sense) Whatever your
answer, it is wrong.
And please do not lump me in your "we" equation - I am a descendent of the indigenous and WE have not inherited the pomposity which obviously has not
dissipated through the generations.

Injun Wilderone, WE WON !
Too bad for those Indios in Mexico that they weren't born in the USSA. They could open a casino.
No problem on the lumping issue. I wouldn't want to lump you into anything ***********.
Speaking of Aborigine inconsistency, how about all of these POW WOWS that are always going on. Pow Wow was a Spanish interpretation of some (?)
Indian tribal word so why are they using the Conquistadore's lingo ? Besides, most of these tribes were small and regional and had distinct languages
so how did Pow Wow become universal among the Abos ?

Who, Little Ol ME ??
I think a more appropriate word from your standpoint, although wrong, would be Bigoted, which I am not.
Prejudice is to "Pre Judge" without investigation or education, although in some dictionaries it has been bastardized to simply mean hatred of a
particular race, etc. I don't "pre judge" anyone, in either a negative or positive sense and I don't HATE anyone because of race, ethnicity,
religion, etc, etc, etc.
I'm really a warm, friendly and loving individual (well, maybe not).
"Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition"

************
Well, at least we've been keeping the administrator busy, probably to his dismay.
The only problem I see with all of those ************ is that all offensive verbiage is given equal weight. I think that a more sophisticated system
should be devised wherein we could be better informed as to the nature of the offense. Perhaps:
^^^^^^^ = politically incorrect reference.
####### = Racial Insults.
********* = Slang terms for bodily functions.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = Physical Threats
<><><><> = Parentage Insults

I think I started this thread but I have not been sure because of what it has evolved into. It is getting a bit tacky and I 'now' agree with your
comment.
Do any of you guys remember what it was about?????? Ah! Well, It couldn't have been important because the last bunch of stuff sure hasn't
been--important that is.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

JR, you're an exception to the norm!lol:
You should know that. There is a special rule book used!
It could depend on what one finds humorous or serious perhaps???
Possibly allowed by ones' own interpretation or maybe that subjective comments prevail. We don't all comprehend the posts the same. It would be
sooooooooo boring.
