LOL; this is the internet, remember.
The internet, where every geek is an atlete and every 300 pounder is a beauty-queen.

if people r, it's just plain sad.
This is just the net; nothing happens here.
If u die tomorrow and don't come here anymore, people will just think ur bored or offended and left.
I'm just here to have some fun and kill time when opp is boring me to death wif 10 minute turns.
So back to the subject: we Dutchees can teach Yanks to relax a little; irritate ur neighbour and claim it's just for the fun of it

Well I think that was his point. How unfortunate that we've proven the original point of the thread through our responses. How on earth did this become "my bomb's bigger than your bomb?" This is one of the illin' elements of American psychology. We think others will be impressed if we barrel by in a monster truck and show everyone how bad we are. We're the only ones who think it's cool.
Too bad we're probably not trainable.

Here's an idea
If America sucks so much, just remember that you're always free to leave here and find a better place to live in.

We can't take in 350 million people in Europe, can we?
(the rest wants to stay-they have money or aren't able to get in Europe)

Hey, Lichking. Good morning. As I said earlier I'm Native American. An old friend of mine used to jokingly say to me after our many political debates, "Well if you don't like it here you can just go back where you came from..."

Looks like the history-teaching-part is covered by the Native Americans....
Might be the best indeed.

Say, Kuma! Not to be dense or anything, but was this good or bad? Could you be more specific???
By the way, how does one get the smilies from the top of the screen into the post??? (Like I said, not to be dense or anything...)

I seriously think that Yanks (and Ozzies for that matter also) could learn from their natives; that was my point.

Thanks Kuma, on behalf of all Indians and Aboriginees as well. We all have something to learn from one another. I can seriously recall the only time I ever defaced a book, though, was when I was studying American history. The text was about 400 pages long. They devoted ONE page to American Indians. ONE page. I got so angry I scribbled all over the page.
I already knew more about the history of my people by that time than practically any adults did, and I figured out why that day. This country had deliberatley erased the knowledge and memory of the genocide its forefathers committed against us from the entire cultural conscience.
But what they still don't realise is that this cannot be done. It lurks there and will repeat itself, and will come back to haunt the spirit of the United States. I fear that this kind of phenomenon is related somehow to what makes it possible for Americans to believe war with Iraq will somehow advance the cause of anti-terrorism, without taking all the information and possible ramifications into consideration, but that's another thread (say, Attack Iraq).
Sorry to have digressed. Guess I'm a little preoccupied.
For anybody who wants the full poop on the real history of American Indians, the best place to start is
David Stannard's book "American Holocaust"
(probably can be gotten off www.yahoo.com.) I cannot encourage you all enough to please read this book, including, and especially, my fellow Americans. Europeans already probably know more about your own history than you do, through no fault of yours individually. It's the same stuff as I was saying up top here.
For those of you to whom only one page about Indians in an American History book does not immediately come as strange, let me point out just one or two considerations that should get your attention:
Recent adjustments to the archaeological estimates on Indian population, as of the time of Columbus' arrival, suggest that the population of Americans (non-native immigrants and their descendants)did not surpass the original population of Native Americans in the territorial United States until the early part of the Nineteenth Century. That's over TWO HUNDRED YEARS LATER Ladies and Gents. Many people still believe we were just a few scattered small groups of people here and there, wandering about aimlessly, foraging for food like chimpanzees. There are actually over 700 nations of Indians within the future territory of the United States alone, eachwith its onw dialect, culture, and territory. My nation alone had over 300,000 members and lived primarily in two city centers (Etowah and Keetowah) that evidence suggests were over two thousand years old. Our entire known territory encompassed most of modern-day Georia, Alabama, North Carolina, Southern Tennessee, and parts of South Carolina and Virginia as well. We had a highly-developed ecomony, trade system, insfrastructure, agriculture and horticulture. We had long-standing trade relations with several other sedentary nations in the region, including those up north of us that comprised the Iroquoian Confederacy, which was arguably one of the earliest confederations of nations on the planet.
If you think I'm just blowing smoke and exaggerating, this should really grab you by the huevos and get your attention. It is a verifiable truth that you can fly to Washington and see for yourself. The original handwritten copy of the United States Constitution (yes, THE Constitution) has handwritten notes all along the margins repeatedly referring to the Constitution of the Iroquoian Confederacy. It says things like "As per the Iroquois" over and over. I think it was Jefferson, Franklin and Hamilton that went up there and spent time with those folks to study the Iroquioan Constitution, and then modeled the United States Government, House and Senate, the bill-passing process, and a whole load of other elements of your beloved AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC government, after the Otiianer structure there.
Sorry to get so serious on you Kuma. I know this was a humor thread in large part when you started it.
