Jokes on you, that person wasn't the original owner anyways. He came over from Asia and people just pretended he was a native wink

No, but I did call them Bagger and Cashier because I was on my way to the grocery store; I just happened to stumble upon that house and really liked it.

I never said that. I'm merely pointed out that all the behavior people whine about whites doing to the native americans...they did to each other. Slavery, stealing land, butchering each other, etc.

Slavery, stealing land, butchering each other, etc. I don't think there's any historical evidence that Native American tribes gave each other smallpox-infested blankets in a direct effort to wipe their enemies entire race from the face of the country so that they could then further colonise it and bring more of their people over from overseas and live there

Okay, but they did the whole slavery, and of course the biggie: stealing land.

Also, I think you're smarter than to try to make the immigration argument you're making. It's not just the law, there are reasons why I want it followed. Illegals coming into this country on average tend to cost more than they put back in.

And yep, some of them are violent criminals and our sanctuary cities help shield them. We have enough crime here from legal citizens, I do not want more.

But I never said it was just the law lol. That is something you tried to twist it into. Do you truly not see that? I mean if you need to ignore it to suit your narrative okay.

Your post implied "the law" as being the sole reason, sport. Here it is:

Now do some more flips.

Surtur
But there is nothing to flip on. I never once said "it's the law and only the law". If the only argument you can make is to twist something I said so you can whine about it...that tells me really all I need to know lol.

Robtard
If we do away with the aspect of "the law", then your argument is without foundation, sport.

But it was never the foundation of my argument lol. You came in and tried to claim that, but that doesn't actually make it reality.

You are right the page probably will turn soon, and once it does you can sadly comment on it and celebrate some sort of pretend victory, Robtard style lol.

And holy shit if you think that was "e-sodomizing" that shows truly how lost you are lol.

You literally used "the law" as the crux of your argument, sport. So pick and stick with something. Your flips are silly.

Lol but I never said "the law" was my only argument. That is what you tried to twist it into. I never said it was only the law. It's a sad tactic you're clinging onto because you have no actual argument.

Also, your opinion is moot at this point. If you think that was e-sodomizing you surely aren't qualified to deem other lines as failures.

If we remove 'the law' aspect, you quite literally have no argument. So yes, 'the law' was the focal point of what your were arguing, sport. Scibs tore right through it and now you're not a happy camper; everyone can see this.

And to think, you were probably so proud of yourself when you made this thread; but now you're #triggered af. sad

But the "you'd have no argument without the law" only works if that was the sum total of my argument lol. It was not. You see, I was responding to a flippant comment made by Scribble. It was not intended to be everything I thought on the subject packed into two sentences. Did you want another shot? Maybe talk about flips some more?

There were good reasons for the Natives not wanting European settlers on their land. European settlers on average caused many more deaths than they did help them. And yep, some of those settlers were vicious imperialists who enacted genocides. They already had enough inter-tribe violence and slavery as it was, and they didn't want more.


There you go, this should be your opinion now because it fits exactly with your other thought processes and I think it's a good idea to be consistent if nothing else.


Btw, there were also countless Native American tribes who did not engage in violence or slavery and instead just lived peacefully off the land, and they got it just as bad as the other tribes.

Lol no, that's just not going to fly. My opinion boils down to what is good for this country. That is what I care about, how illegal immigration effects this country. There will be no "gotcha" moment here, unfortunately.

And nobody said all natives participate in that behavior., Just the fact that any of them did tends to sometimes get glossed over. Just like not every single European that showed up was an utter monster.

He killed children and tortured them regularly. It was the kind of stuff you would find ridiculous to do to an animal much less other people. That was the daily lives of the natives under Colombus' governorship. The Spanish Inquistion was terrible even by feudal standards...

The natives on the Carriebeans were almost completely wiped out in a matter of decades.

That labour shortage was the driving economic reason behind the African Slave trade....

Just like not every single European that showed up was an utter monster. What isn't going to fly? Basic consistency in beliefs? You can believe in what's good for this country as well as recognising that the genocide of the Native Americans was a bad thing, you don't have to choose one. You don't even have to feel guilty about it. It'd just make sense to at least recognise your own history. Otherwise it's just nationalism for the sake of nationalism.

What do you feel you just proved? I'm serious. I never said we didn't commit atrocities. You didn't prove that the natives didn't participate in some abhorrent behavior as well.

He came over from Asia and people just pretended he was a native wink your celebration of Colombus in particular (rather than the broad idea of the foundation of the USA) and the attempt to place some kind of weird flippant blame on the Natives, even saying they weren't natives at all (they were, their lineage went back a very long way, which makes them natives), kind of does betray a sense of disdain for their existence, so you do seem to be revelling in their genocide somewhat.

Surtur
The 2nd comment was a joke, and the first was me saying Happy Columbus Day. That's paper thin.

And no, nobody blamed natives. What I said was their behavior gets glossed over.

To say that equates to reveling in their genocide is kinda batshit insane.

It may have been a 'joke', but just like male gamers who threaten rape towards female gamers, it's not just a joke, but a keen insight into the way your mind works.

Lol oh please. And you saying this is reveling in genocide is a keen insight into how your mind works, and so far it makes some disturbing leaps.

My opinion is I don't feel what happened to them was right, but what I won't do is feel one ounce of guilt over it.

And did you legit just make a comment about me being classy when you just accused me in reveling in genocide? Holy shit did Bash break you? Because you are not at your best here.

My post wasn't insinuating that you're a bigot. I clearly said "pretend to be" as the qualifier; meaning you're not really a bigot, but acting like one. Which is the very point of the Vonnegut quote, ie becareful what you pretend to be, because people will see you that way.

At this point, you're a native too, due to the association between you and your country of birth. So they were certainly natives. Hence they are called 'Native Americans', rather than 'Indigenous Americans'. The reason they continue to be called Native Americans is because they were the first major people to populate and inhabit in the area. Seems fair to me.

In a sane country Rob might have had a point. The "if you act like a bigot you'll be treated like a bigot" thing is just not true for this country. Sadly, you don't need to act like a bigot or a racist to be treated like one.

I think respect is a very important human trait; you're lucky enough to live in your country, even though it has a dark history, so you may as well have respect for the people that suffered in the past (and in the case of Native Americans, pretty much never stopped getting shafted). I personally just see that as common decency.

Speaking of dark history, did you see how people were complaining over what Trump said about Columbus Day? The complaint was that he didn't bring up our "dark history" like Obama did when he put out these statements on Columbus Day.

Well it is literally Colombus Day, and Colombus was one of the main ****ers of the Natives, so like I say, it'd be common decency to at least give them a nod. It's not like they get Native Day and a big speech from the president about them any time, so at least give them a bit of a shout out. He doesn't 'have' to, but I think it'd more respectable to do it than not.

I've been thinking a lot about that..

No, it's not only America. It's also Britian, and probably Italy, France, India (Based on some old friends in India, it seems like most Indians trust white European people to run the government more then their fellow Indians. National stockholm syndrome?)

Wondering where people DON'T overreact or polarizd their politics. Maybe even where the majority act civil to each other, instead of like scavengers or wild beasts looking for easy prey..

Canada, maybe? Most Canadians I've met seemed pretty nice..

I also don't cheekily praise Christopher Columbus and what he did, and can easily acknowledge he was a piece of shit who was literally as bad as Hitler and shouldn't have his own holiday.

Acknowledging and condemning the atrocities of Columbus does not require feeling guilt over them. You don't even need to feel guilt to empathize with the plight of the Native Americans (which I don't particularly do myself). You're a moral coward my friend.

I think respect is a very important human trait; you're lucky enough to live in your country, even though it has a dark history, so you may as well have respect for the people that suffered in the past (and in the case of Native Americans, pretty much never stopped getting shafted). I personally just see that as common decency.

At least there's casino's..?

Except those only go to a very limited number of people, so maybe not.

And if you can believe Trump, they're really mafia fronts, or so he said (I do think it's funny how Foxwoods and Mohegan never have a single Native American running them..)

I celebrate Leif Erikson Day instead. Not only is he Norse like my ancestors, but he discovered North America 500 years before Columbus. And Leif Erickson Day has been official observed in Illinois, where I live, since 1956. It is an all around better holiday.

Also, another thing about the whole mentioning the Natives point: Isn't ignoring the Natives and what happened to them, specifically on Colombus Day, one of those "ignoring facts" things that Surtur despises so?

And then you justify them overreacting.

I'd settle.for just punching someone in the nose who calls you a bigot for no reason, but then you're a violent felon instead of a bigot.. Can't win, I guess. smile

I'm hoping it all eventually blows over so that the sensible people can have a platform again without having to pander to reactionary crybabies.

It's..not hard to grasp. Scribble made what was a flippant comment. Thus I didn't respond with a mountain of text about immigration. I then spoke further about immigration and my thoughts, but all you could do was essentially whine over the fact I didn't spill my every thought on the issue in response to a flippant comment lol.

All you are doing is celebrating a pretend victory. You don't find that sad? You are absolutely giddy someone else shares your warped sense of reality. It's odd lol.

Indeed, and it is very odd to me to see people wailing at Trump because he essentially doesn't talk shit about Columbus on Columbus Day. What will they expect him to say this upcoming "Presidents Day"? "JFK was a great president who helped see us through the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oh and he also cheated on his wife with several women and was addicted to painkillers. That will be all".

But see, you don't get to decide who does or does not deserve their own holiday.

Did Columbus become a "Murdering Tyrant" before or after He found out that the Native Americans killed a bunch of his crew mates?

You know. The 35 or so Crew members that Columbus left in the New World when he went back to Spain with a couple of Native Ambassadors and when He got back he found that all the crew members had been murdered by the Natives?

Or is that part of the History we are supposed to gloss over?

Look at this tiny dancer. If the laws changed then that would be the law of the land and therefore you should be okay wit hit, since your argument against it was "the law" to begin with.

Scribs' entire point when he nailed you to the wall with your paper-thin argument; everyone saw it. Everyone.
