revert back to a system where xenophobia runs rampant It doesn't now? <insert Nausi outraged face about immigrants here> And there's the good ol predictable progressive meme, One must be xenophobic if they wish their country to have a border.

If by "bench press" you mean union leader.

Wow I didn't know I was progressive, just the other day they told me I was radical instead. That sounds cool thanks!

Yeah, think of when all those illegal immigrants came into the lands of the natives. Bad times.

In fairness, they weren't really "native" either, they just immigrated first.

Used the word cause figured indians would be confused with the phone center kind, and I honestly only know a few tribe names.

Well, pretty much everyone that came afterward did more or less act like a bag of *** toward them.
Frankly, if disease hadn't been against them they probably would have managed to repel most subsequent arrivals for much, much longer.

Eh. I just always felt that while many consider "Indian" offensive (and I can see why to point), "native American" is a misnomer as well.
I'm not really arguing for Nausi's point here, just historical accuracy.
And there isn't an established nation in the world with a kind and gentle history when reported accurately. As much as many "long-established" European nations like to pretend the United States alone has an ugly history, most of them have their own closets bursting at the seems with skeletons.

You know they frequently acted like *** to each other while we were around to record it in history. What makes you think they treated each other any differently BEFORE we ever got here?

So your telling me Native Americans were illegal immigrants ? How dare they !

That's what you get for cutting corners and costs!
Nik, just take your stuff to that lawyer and threaten to cut his corners if he doesn't cut your costs. How to do business like a man 101.

What was their name again..

So, last night I was listening to Coast to Coast AM because it's hilarious. One of the callers went on a rant about fluoride in the water system. He claims that the reason the government put it in there was because fluoride shuts off our ability to psychically connect with the aliens. That's probably the best argument against fluoride that I've heard in a while.
Coast to Coast AM is the ***. It's like listening to FFXIAH on the radio complete with people dead serious they know what the *** they're talking about while the host filters and bottles the crazy.
Psychic vampires and time traveling aliens are my personal faves.

Yeah, and the same white settlers frequently treated each other like *** too.
So I'd say that makes it even in that regard.

My use of the present tense is very important here.

In fairness, they weren't really "native" either, they just immigrated first. I'm just wondering if there was one central place where we just sprang to being, and everywhere else, we are all one big pile of immigrants.

I'm happy being an African American. Even though my skin says otherwise.
My soul is black. That is what counts.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
