Happy Columbus Day

A weekend camping trip is not settling.

Good bye...

Leif looked around, took a leak and went home. Old Red whipped his ass. "Why didn't you bring a few women back with you."

alexa, is that you?

My wife used to laugh about all this too until she found out her ancestors were always on the run.

On the run from whom?

Torture was a culturally accepted norm. It was almost an art form.

If you're born here, then you're indigenous. That your distant ancestors may have originated elsewhere doesn't really change the fact.

No. Indigenous, regardless of the dictionary definition, which I don't know, absolutely does refer commonly to native inhabitants, not just any old jackass born here. LOL Good one.

I agree with that. That is why I said racial or ethnic GROUP.

Well, unbelievably enough though it probably seems, you're wrong.

The native people of North America were not exterminated by the so called "European invaders". Why can't we get past these idiotic claims?

Europeans wiped out Native Americans by the millions. Accept the facts, deal with them, and then move back to Europe. Thanks.

Very interesting!

Because you live out west I assumed you were descended from a western population. Is that so?

Eastern. My father was an enrolled member of the Seneca Nation of Indians.

Seneca invented the game of Three Card Monty.

We actually don't know for certain who the first were to set foot on North America. There are several theories.

The first in North America probably did not migrate here from anywhere but just came to be, as Native Americans will tell you. This "Out of Africa" $#@! is just that -- $#@!.

If you know anything about the lack of oxygen in anthropology and archeology, you'd stop tooting your own horn. You believe the most unbelievable, unfounded $#@!, I guess because you like $#@!.

Archeologists are crackpots searching for cracked pots.

Pretty much, but you gotta like when they bend over to dig with their little shovels.

Dog comes from a prehistoric word meaning "pointer," which is also the origin of paradigm and of the Latin digitus,"finger." Were the Indians intelligent enough to use dogs in hunting?

Excellent question. Actually, no they weren't and consequently for several millenia, they almost starved to death.

They were so stupid that they couldn't understand that horses could be used for transportation, so they exterminated them all long before the Whites brought theirs over.

Exactly. It wasn't until blacks came ashore here several thousand years ago aboard the HMS (hideous motherfuckin' sloop) U of Cornhole and explained the fallacy of what they were doing did they stop. However, the HMS Cornhole was not seen thereafter, and it is assumed they were all eaten for Thanksgiving.

Not that it matters, but I wonder if that will remain "true."

No one knows.
