RE: A Tribute To The American Indian
If the issues i raise were already adressed i'm asking anyone to please respond regardless.
I probably joined this thread a little late but i extremely disagree with muley69 and i fail to see the vast majority of logic behind his arguements and what they are based on.
If the native americans didnt believe in land ownership then how could they steal property from one another? Did they put up fences and NO TRESPASSING signs? And on the other hand if they did own thier lands apart other tribes; how did they signify boundaries without "god forbiding them being captured by the other tribes"?
PLEASE inform me on how native americans are LUCKY that we "conquered" them and thier lands. Where is there any information that would even hint they are or were lucky. Or even that other nations would have exterminated them. One more thing who are we (im asking about the ones who con*****ed indians), I pretty sure America is the melting pot of the world, was it one nationality that conquerred the native americans. Native Americans being lucky is the most propostirous and ridiculous claim that i have read out of all these post.
What countries are you talking about where the ancestors aren't native to those lands, such as Americans aren't to america?
IMO i do not believe to have a single legitimate statement i ALL of your posts (muley69). I think this because you have not cited a single academic resourse for any of your ludicris statements. I think you also used your degree as a sort of defense mechanicism hoping that nobody would contest you? I THINK YOU ARE MAKING ALOT OF YOUR FACTS UP. You cant argue the blue because it is my own personal opinion.
I believe you are trying to drag the topic of pre-european native americans into present tense native americans where you have utilized tangled rherotic, which has most to accept your assumptions in logic. I am not trying to make this into a fight and i know it reads offensively but i too am being blunt. If you or anyone can provide me with one reason how the Native Americans were lucky and not completely screwed by the US GOVT, then i will completely withdrawn my post and apoligise for the inconvience. Also please tell me these academic resources that back up your statements.
