I have to chuckle. the arguing style of some here is pretty funny.

I said nothing of the kind. Why you're asking this, I have no idea.

Its because you said native american cultures were primitive and barbaric. Of course we get from that, that they were primitive and barbaric compared to Europe.

So when you say lol, christianity isnt european, i saw it as a way to dodge my point that europe also had its share of atrocities, and then if it had its share of atrocities, why arent you applying that standard you apply to native american cultures and brand the whole of europe barbarian and primitive?

You conveniently left out the fact that their wars were staged SOLELY to acquire more people to sacrifice. They weren't wars of conquest.

After saying that native americans had no written language, you have zero credibility. If you told me there was sand at the beach, id go check to make sure.

Interesting. Cortés' men wrote of how when they first saw Tenochtitlan it was far more grand than anything they had ever seen in Spain. To call them primitive is basically just a baseless insult, because they had a highly developed culture. But of course, it wasn't Western, therefore that means it they are savages in the minds of the ethnocentric.

Astronomy, yes, there is no doubt that they were advanced in Astronomy.

But hey guys, don't listen to me just go watch "An Inconvenient Truth " again for the 100th time and cheer your ineligible prezidint

If you're talking about heiroglyphics, then I may have to concede, but then you'll hit me with the "Olmecs were black" theory of the Afrocentrists who say "just look at their lips and noses on the carvings."

I say that in response to the absurdity that the natives were a peaceful, advanced, progressive civilization, the kind of nonsense that ultra-liberal scholars made a living out of ever since it became a fad in the late 1880s

Lol what a terrible game, balance? No such thing.

"Patch #1 X is overpowered"

"Patch #2 X is nerfed to shit, and Y is now untouchable"

"Patch #3 X and Y are now nerfed, but X is rebuffed to playable levels"

"Patch #4 X and Y are tweaked more, and now Z is overpowered."

Dear Idiot,
This entire thread is about Native American influence on American (and other) cultures.

Please feel free to take your idiot trolling elsewhere.
