Thanks.

I wonder if I would get along with Bodie. I consider the Roman empire one of the worst things to happen to this planet. Julius Cesar was a tyrant and genocidal madman (much like Hitler...except successful; speaking of which, if europeans weren't complete hypocrits they'd tear down all his memorializing statues.) But one can't expect the ripple effects of a massive city rape to be good. Afterall, that is how they empowered themselves to start...

Every last society on earth is there, because at some point or other it conquered and expanded.
The main difference between Hitler and Caesar were gas chambers, and the distinct goal of annihilation.
Out of a European population of about 75 million during the Roman empire, any given war would rarely exceed death tolls of over tens of thousands, only in extremely rare cases exceeding 100K, never in the millions, and entire ethnicities were never wiped out.
The gauls did not disappear, they were assimilated. French ethnicity still comprises of a lot of celtic heritage (As with most of western Europe).
You are suggesting we are hypocrites merely for existing. Norway was never part of the Roman empire, and we don't sport any statues of it, and Norway is also created out of independent kingdoms conquering each others. None of these independent kingdoms thought of themselves as broken pieces of a larger nation. They were only out for conquest and greed, thus creating an arbitrary conglomeration of their nearest neighbors, today called "Norway".

Every single latinamerican country exists through bloodshed, both before and after Spanish colonization. USA exists thanks to invasion and bloodshed. Australia exists thanks to invasion and bloodshed. Every last Asian nation is founded on the invasion of others, and massive bloodshed. Japan today exists thanks to independent kingdoms invading each others. China was built, destroyed and rebuilt again repeatedly, each time on invasions and more invasions.

You get a "minus" in the book for attempting a provocative remark about "hypocrite Europeans", while clearly not having thought it through. Let this be a lesson for the future

Hi all. I am a regular poster on AFF, heard about this place from...a couple of people actually. The main impression I got was not so good, but there were also other opinions so I came to check it out for myself because it kept coming up. About myself: not much to tell. According to gov't I am unemployed, but I know better    lol, I am very interested in culture and philosophy (particularly indigenous issues) and I like to have productive discussions about these topics.

Welcome and salutations. May Allah smile upon you and may your loins be ever fruitful.

Assalamu 'alaikum, you Muslim?

I am what I am.

Do you have an opinion of the Chumash Indians??

Is this an attempt to appear a scholar? Or did you just do a random wikipedia page search?

Welcome and all.
Thanks

Are you the sensitive type?
Depends on the situation and circumstance...

Are you 
Am I viking? Or do you mean warrior? or brave?


Have you ever tried to bite someone's head off?
Not really, unless chocolate santas and gummy bears count.

Where is CBC?
In Canada. Wait, did you mean CBC the news station, or CBC short for couldbecousin?

That is your presumption. No hard feelings though. History written and research by conquerers tends to have a bias towards conquering peoples: either to demonstrate their superiority, or to justify their actions, or something along those lines. Don't assume you know the history of every last society, people, and culture on earth, and don't assume the history you know is accurate.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are of the female persuasion, based on your posts.

I'm going to go out on a different limb and say you are of the male persuasion, based on your posts.

Am I right?

LMFAO!!!!

Yes you are right. Technically transgender, but the term two spirit is probably more accurate. Living the role of a male btw, so the preferred pronoun would be "he".

No. But if you have any information you'd like to share about them, I would be interested Are you Chumash?
