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.

So your telling me Pocahontas is an immigrant that ruins the movie for me !
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.
The guys with the fancy hats.

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

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.

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

Though I actually do think there was one around India, they were pretty advanced too but thought weapons were bad. Of course they were wiped out.

My use of the present tense is very important here.
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.

Well Africa if you want to be technical.

Because religious allegory really needed brought into this discussion.
Dammit, Seha! :p

I'm happy being an African American. Even though my skin says otherwise.
My soul is black. That is what counts.
