I don't defend what happened to the Indians...then again I don't think anyone knows the full story. If the indians didn't want to get shot they should have got the heck out of there and migrated northward or westward....or maybe head down to Mexco and set their teepees up there. (that's what I would have done.)

Yea, sure, that's totally what you would have done. And if you were in Nazi Germany, I bet you would have been like "Screw you, I'm not going to those camps." Then you would have marched right up to Hitler and kicked him in the nuts. But then, no one really knows the full story of the Holocaust...

And then they would have displaced the other tribes living in those areas, so they would have fought each other over the resources and living space -- after which the European settlers STILL would have come along and kept displacing them, continuing the downward spiral of moving and compaction into smaller and smaller areas with increasingly poorer resources, until we would have wound up with essentially a similar situation to what we have now.
Great solution, there, sport.
The American Indians (or whatever term one uses to describe the aboriginal people of the Americas) simply got overwhelmed by another culture's diseases, technology, ambition, greed, and racism. Just "moving away" could not possibly have helped any of them for long, even if it had been possible.

tell me something supersport. if a bunch of people you didn't know and didn't speak your language suddenly came into your neighbourhood and set up homes there, tore down your grocery (took away your source of food) and killed your friends and family for no reason than they didn't like them, and then they took away all of your children and tried to take away their heritage...
would you just pack up and migrate?
You are a fucking retard.
If I come to your house, you better head to Mexico fuckwit, cuz I don't like the way you live, worship or look. That sounds pretty fucking fair now doesn't it?
I hope you drown in diesel fuel.
1. Yeah, they did migrate northward, westward, and all-over-ward...for a while. The US troops followed them
2. Mexico (with an I) would be 'south'-ward
3. Not all Native Americans had tipis. Most didn't.
Anyway...reverse migration to Mexico, anybody?
Biology, mathematics, medicine, physics, and now history. Truly, is there any topic Supersport doesn't fail at?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
