If I'd claimed that no group of people has ever avoided displacing another then your mentioning those two groups would have been relevant - if they'd avoided doing so. I didn't - so calling a discussion that you are having with yourself pointless is probably a very accurate assessment of the situation. The natives here are a horrible example, by the way. They were very, very busy pushing each other across the landscape for a very long time - before getting a big fat boot as a group. Additionally, whether or not they were the continents first people themselves is hotly debated at the moment. I don't know much about aboriginies, except that they themselves were displaced.
You're actually just asking me to provide -more- evidence for an observation. Populations are often displaced. Somtimes by people, sometimes by other means. When two cultures meet and compete for the same resource, we see displacement with regularity. Whats so difficult to understand about this? You know, winners and losers in the great migration game. I wasn't aware that this was a controversial observation.
I've been much more interested in how this is supposed cast better light on the situation between Israel and Palestinians, personally. "My grandaddy built an outhouse here, it's mine!" No one gives a shit. My grandaddies have been building outhouses all the way from africa to where I'm at right now and they took alot of detours in between. I haven't seen any deeds or checks in the mail Nony. We certainly didn't leave a couple of those places by any freely made choice of our own...lol. Maybe I'm not seeing those deeds and checks because I'm not firing rockets at people, eh? Should I take that up as a hobby?
