This is an embarrassment. Read a history book for christsake

No.

They get taken over by those with superior technology. We see it time and again throughout human history: bronze age cultures destroyed by those possession steel, etc.
Ideology is merely a driving force for many.

Many of the Central, South and North American native cultures were quite peaceful - I note you continually bring up the Aztecs who were brutal, but ignore much of Inca culture, for instance - but that didn't stop the "morally superior" Christians from slaughtering them and steeling their gold.

Citation.

The natives were certainly intimidated because they hadn't encountered horses, or firearms or steel weapons and armour before. And, unfortunately, the arrival of bearded white men from across the ocean fitted in with one of their prophecies.

And the European barbarians more than lived up to the terrors of that prophecy.

Because I can't post this in the "not guilty" thread:

The trial never ended, Captain. We never reached a verdict. But now we have. You're guilty.

I am disgusted. This piece of Nazi trash needs to be banned.

I try really hard not to, then I run into the same kind of people IRL. Not long ago, a girl at work had a niece in the hospital. The little girl was diagnosed with some pretty serious, but medically treatable shit (sorry, never heard what it was). The doctors told her parents it would be a 1/1000 chance that she'd get better without treatment so they scheduled an arduous treatment regimen, but she got better on her own.

The only comment she would make about it?
You guessed it:

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!

Also, I have discovered that I cannot give a negative rep and I want to know why -_-

I tried that a few weeks ago. Wouldn't work for me, either.

And the other 999 people who died because it was untreated were because, "god called them home", right?

Negative rep (for good or bad) has been disabled by the admins. Bummer 'cause "someone" sure could use it.
