I'd of probably just shot it, but seems a nice stiff right did the job just fine.

True perspective would be that a few isolated incidents of some Natives feeding some colonists who were suffering in a harsh winter does not prop up the notion that these natives were somehow more advanced or not as primitive as the colonists.

So, you cannot substantiate your point that Ancient Egypt was more advanced than the current generation?

Progressed maybe, advanced? No. This is just utter rubbish. The technological achievements of the industrial revolution alone amount to far more than Ancient Egypt ever achieved. In what sense were they "lightyears" ahead of us in medicine, science and technology?

It isn't "really smart" people who we would rely on to feed and water us if our our energy systems failed and we could no longer rely on our current methods of obtaining sustenance. It would be ourselves, and I don't think you give enough credit to us. It isn't like farming livestock and growing...

You are aware that colonists had been colonizing and feeding themselves on the US mainland over 100 years before the first "thanksgiving" happened?

I did not bring up Native American society, I was responding to another poster. Also, they were primitive compared to colonists. This is a historical fact. At no point have I called them an inferior people, they did the best with the knowledge they had at the time. Why are you trying to push...

How is it racist to state that 16th Century Native Americans were a primitive people compared to colonists of the time? You are just claiming racism because?

Are the tribal lands of the Sioux considered a sovereign nation by the United States Government in the same manner they consider the nation of Canada? If not, your point is moot.

Our weakness to things like solar flares is an unavoidable consequence of our modern world. Native Americans are not the only people who would know the methods of how to survive if our energy grids catastrophically failed. Ironically, the modern world has provided us with a much better way to...

Alleged abuses by police and other authorities of protesters is not evidence of environmental racism by the Army Corps of Engineers. The route was decided before any of the these alleged abuses took place.

Three tremendously sweeping generalizations. If the pro abortions truly do not care about about the baby or the mother then what is their motivation for being pro abortion?

Wrong, life began some 3.5 billion years ago and has continued to multiply and evolve ever since.

I'd also expect them to deny it if it isn't true. So their denial doesn't tell us anything meaningful, what is more important is if there is any actual evidence of environmental racism in this case.

Why is the fact that Bismarck is populated by mostly whites relevant to this discussion at all? The Army corps of engineers rejected the Bismarck route due to environmental reasons. They are a federal organization, not subservient to the people of Bismarck.

The America that the Natives knew of before colonial settlers landed is vastly, vastly different from the America that exists to today. The comparison is not reasonable. If they knew of how to harness natural gas, oil, electricity and solar energy as we use it today then surely they would have...

Had remain won the referendum I would of expected the collusion between the UK and the EU would continue as it had prior to the referendum and the direction/tone of that collusion would be decided between parties amongst themselves and settled in a general election as normal. This talk of hard...

Well, there's one thing we agree on. I don't really see a viable replacement for the Tories at the moment, which in itself is a troublesome thing.

There does appear to be a growing backlash against the "establishment" in Europe which I think first manifested with Brexit. Hofer was defeated, but he did claim just under half the vote which is in itself very interesting. I cannot think of a far right candidate in recent history with as much...
