No, we defeated them by betraying treaties, lying to them, committing perfidious acts, and having more advanced weapons.

Plus we could continue bring more troops from the continent than they could muster in the tribes.

Oh and about those diseases? Sorry.

We defeated them because we considered them less than we were. It is not part of our history we should be especially proud of.

You keep mentioning Indians. So basically what i get from that is your wanting to roll over on your back and do nothing for the here and now, because of some misplaced sense of guilt for something that happened over a century ago.

Seriously man, no place is perfect. Least of all the US. We both served, we both know this. But right or wrong as our country may be, (past, or present) it' still our home despite any regrets or faults, and worth defending and preserving.

You have a "unique" way of interpreting what people write.

Besides I thought you wrote that we will agree to disagree?

I just glossed over your last post or two as "Indians.. diseases.. we killed them and took their land... bad bad evil us." I glossed it because i kept seeing reference to Indian's. The repeated reference just made my eyes roll back in my head and i stopped reading every word.

Besides I thought you wrote that we will agree to disagree?

Yeah your right. Only reason i respond at all, is because the subject in general just gets me hot under the collar. Very hard for me to not respond in some way. Where this topic is concerned, my emotions run high.

[Platapus]

Well I think we both made our positions clear.

Now on to something else.

How about them Redskins, are they sucking or what.

I dunno, I don't keep up with football. It never interested me much. (how unamerican of me i know. ). I was however, lamenting how much it must suck to be a cop after reading the usual shennanigans over at fark.com. After that i watched some videos on youtube, and you know people HATE cops. Bashing on cops as nazi brownshirts is in vogue and all the rage. Even when the people are in the wrong, (though they won't admit that, not even to themselves.) I don't think there is an occupation that deals with the general public where you get shat on more then law enforcement.

So you're saying THEY shouldn't have been upset about that?
