Custer's Last Stand

[TexasBred]

Weren't too smart to loose it all to a few Spaniards carrying mostly swords and spears.
The Mayans were the most advanced with a complete written language.
They just disappeared.
The Aztec and Incas folded to a few Spaniards.
Lower IQ bit them in the butt.

Disease was the eurpeons most powerful weapon. Subdued most races.

Very true. Hard to imagine that there were actually millions of indians in both North and South America until the European landed and diseases wiped out huge numbers. CB your comments are pathetic. Quite obvious you live closer to the equator than most of us. :lol: :lol:

My good friend TT is only a couple miles this side of it. :hide:

My ancestry is not from there thank goodness.
Does it make you bitter because it is where your ancestors are from.
Can't out run your DNA.
Maybe if you take your Senokot and Flomax you might feel better.

 

[HDRider]

It is a consistent fact that us always wants to fight them.

CB I am extremely proud of my ancestors. The Quechua are alive and well and their language is spoken by millions, their architecture survives, their thousands of miles of roads are still in use, their art is priceless, their discoveries in astronomy are still used today and much much more. Tell me about your DNA Professor.

Raven you better keep an eye on TT. When you're not looking he has a tendency to "cross over" the equator. :lol2: :lol2:

TB your not worth my time as a poster I used to truly respect IMO has turned into a bitter old man just looking for a fight not a discussion.

Certainly chilling the forum for a long time.

The attacks.

Nothing you have done HDR

I'd add, large population centers breed different cultures, art and science than small bands of nomads.

An agrarian society allows for specialized farmers, hunters, etc. This allows time for scholarly pursuits, theology developments, an advanced hierarchy of government, etc. B/c the Native Americans were "constantly" on the move, their societies lacked some of these.

Only waiting for you to say something intelligent, Professor.

And seemingly more content because of it..in many instances.

Boogie you show up once a month and add nothing. Nobody has attacked you. Matter of fact never even gave you a thought.

Many had no need for any of this at the time. There system was working perfect. Imagine what the thinking was when ships landed with people dressed like you had never seen, carrying weapons you had never seen nor heard, riding some animal you had never seen, and speaking a language you had never heard. Probably was more than a little panic especially when the first shot rang out and people started falling over dead.

I can only imagine how terrifying it was to see someone holding a stick that made noise and shot projectiles. And then, in the case of the Mayflower, they steal your corn and follow you when they see you. It's quite remarkable that ANY of them were friendly at all.

Us or them? I've read that most nomadic societies have a higher level of satisfaction in life, but honestly I wonder how that's something that's easily measurable.

4th time just today I have logged in.

Lots of folks have simply left.

Can't have that discussion with you looking at the DNA map you drew the short straw.

Are you saying they left because they were attacked? Are you placing that blame on TexasBred?

This is not directed at you, Boogie. Several Users lament that many have left. Some say it is because of me or CG8. Some say it is because the libs have taken over. One even said it is because the forum has become too intellectual.

If you boil that down it says to me that they left because they "can't have their way". Sounds like they need a dose of backbone! Or maybe they just need to grow up.

The mongols were constantly on the move and nomadic as well .
They ended up conquering most of the known world in less than a 100 years.
Their conquests changed history.
