But it was normal for those times.
Nowadays United States citizens massacre indigenous populations in other countries, rather than their own.
Plus ca change, plus la meme chose ….
send a note to the slaughtered;
Dear Slaughtered,
I am sorry for your massacre but please understand that the pain you felt in your slaughter was just a colateral damage of our occupation. Don’t worry about it.
Regards,
The management.
And look at the history of the hundred years war in Europe. Back then, there was no convention about only armies fighting; men, women and children were all slaughtered by an invading force. Torture of civilians was normal.
A very thin veneer of civilisation between a tea party and a lynch mob.
lol that’s is so funny, now you are saying indians were not slaughtered because they were indians. right.
can of worms well you are right about that and that is why the topic is for asses.Total asses.
ps: all asses go here

19:33………….now there’s some great TA to keep an eye on….
How far back do you want to go? Who were the original inhabitants of England? Or Scotland? The cultural mindset of the early white North Americans was “He who is strongest, takes what he wants”. Which is identical to the NA Indians’ mindset too, in their tribal wars, and served them well when they saw off the Viking settlers.
Whether that attitude is right or wrong, it is totally different to singling out parts of your own indigenous population, and saying that “Because you are a jew, homosexual, gypsy, black, yellow or brown, you must be eliminated”.
The fakeout before the breakout continues?
Maybe,go back 2+yrs to oct 2007,suggested the 28yr gold chart had broken an ihs out and the po was 1208.
18bucks off so far, but the new 2 yr ihs says 1338 ish for a po and a fibo off the 1007.70 high meshes with the same. So does the 7 days of testing at the current fib level.
Have a personal library with the history of the Indian tribes, East and West. Fascinating subject. Visited some the sites.
When the Europeans first came to the to the North East, including Canada, they were revolted by common Indian customs and so called them savages. It was not just scalping…Did you know what the term Mohawk means in native language? It means Flesh Eater. Cannibalism was not limited to the Iroquois but, was common throughout. The fate of captive prisoners was extended torture. After you ran the gauntlet, the real torture began …one by one fingernails pulled and sand rubbed in the wounds. Then fingers cut off, one by one and eaten. Some had their hands and feet cut off, which were also then eaten. Others were chosen for extended torture, hot coal branding and then burned alive. True some were adopted but, very few by %. Torture was not limited to male captives as enemy females were fair game. These practices pre-dated the European arrival. Look at the history of the Erie Indian nation/tribe. The Iroquois wanted their hunting grounds so they exterminated them. The Eries were of the same language and directly blood related.
The Canadian tribes were really no better but, were eventually converted and much of the atrocity ceased. To properly understand the Western Indian situation and resulting slaughter one must begin to understand the origins of revulsion in the East.
This in no way justifies the Native American treatment or reservation conditions. The myth of the Noble Indian was introduced in the 20th centary and glorified by Hollywood. The truth is not quite that simple.
Also, while it is true that the Spanish were particularly brutal, to generally gentle Southern tribes, one may wish to recall what the Aztecs did to their prisoners. In summary, I don’t think that we should color history…rather study it and seek to learn from it, as unbiased as possible.
I have been tempted to bring that up. Truth of the matter is hypocracy is running amock(pun intended) here at the tent.
Well hate to say it but chances are pretty good that many north americans(like the ones going on and on and on and on and on and on about israeal….. live on slaughtered land and don’t give a rats ass. Those living on the Abs ground today here and now completly forgeting the means of which they came to live on this land such a short time ago. Shame on them all imho and I am not an aboriginal. Just a student of commen sense.
This land was made for you and me. Ya right, like hell it was.
ps history is that, history, Focus on the future.
Had a minute to look at charts today. Its pretty scary what I see. Dont want to drage tecnic;s out but from what I see it could and will be worse that I imagined. it has me thinking cabin in the woods. Its has me thinking 5000 rounds of amo. It has me thinking more fiid than I thought and for a long time. Long pats Armstrongs post on gold high. So get those cattle and expand your guarden.
Bring on whoever….. this is a team of destiny, methinks.
It’s almost SHOWTIME for Brett……it will be a great matchup in Miami………Manning vs Favre.
JBI, pulling for the Vikings now in today’s second game. 
The scribe says his most probable scenario is
DOW 5000
SPX 600
ASX200 2500
All around early 2012 for the bottom of wave C
But we’ll probably be thrown off the scent many times in this journey down
and the COMEX won’t exist by then and we’ll be bartering with the good stuff and my
kids will have a new house and…and…well you know the story.
by my eyeballing/calculations, we need the commercial COTs to drop to about 150K contracts short (currently more like 270K) before it’s safe to get back in heavily long…
also, for the VIX to rise first (>30 would be nice)…
PMs are going to be fighting a GM downdraft here for awhile, that’s why I’m standing aside..
I also have no intention of going back 125% long and simply crossing my fingers anytime soon…
I’m going to manage risk more closely…
Not even a monster is one dimensional–we all have the seeds of good and evil in us–most people overcome the evil…Eichmann, the faceless, unassuming, petit-bourgeois bureaucrat thus becomes a monster….that’s show biz…
The Banality of evil is a phrase coined by Hannah Arendt and incorporated in the title of her 1963 work Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil.[1] It describes the thesis that the great evils in history generally, and the Holocaust in particular, were not executed by fanatics or sociopaths but rather by ordinary people who accepted the premises of their state and therefore participated with the view that their actions were normal.
…all hooicausts and genocides and ethnic cleansings and whatever you want to call them are horrendous episodes in history..
….The Aboriginals in NA are certainly an example of underappreciated holicost…
….the Aboriginal people who still live in poverty….do they care much about Pol Pot ?….or Papa Doc ?
…I guess the ethnic cleansing that bothers an individual most…would be the one suffered by his people….relatives ….friends ….
….unless you have lived it…it really cannot be understood…
….did anyone here live thru or have friends or relatives live through a Genocide ?
….probably not….so …we’ve been lucky eh ?
You know what that means. Max pain dead ahead.
SEC sending out a smoke signal?
Let’s hope that gold can rise above the coming carnage.
…needs to be understood…thanks
….i read it with trepitation…as any reasonable person seeing a pro Hitler post would do…
…i came away with a new understanding of the situation….
….as you stated in your last post…this is an economic issue
…however dont nievely believe that any pro Hitler article (economic or not)…will not provoke painful response
….the man was a monster nonetheless….but it looks like he pulled the right economic move in creating his own currency backed by the hard work of the german people….fascinating….but lets not lose sight of what he ultimately used this new found wealth for !
….thanks for taking the chance to post that…i had no Idea
….Good luck……rooting for Favre and the Vikings !
….you gotta check in from the Inn more often
….does the Inn have a website ?
….here is Tottsville Inn
