It is correct about the Aztecs. That has been known for multiple years now: https://www.history.com/news/aztec-human-sacrifice-religion

It's *somewhat* correct. Keep in mind who "won" and who wrote the history of those times.

Doesn't matter. Just because you encounter a culture that practices something you don't like does not give you the right to wipe them out.

The Greeks practiced both homosexuality and pederasty. Imagine our Western culture now if someone had wiped them out before the *good* (our value judgment) parts of their culture informed Western civilization as it did.

Agreed about the problems of "he who writes the history books". I would hope that there's enough archeological evidence to either support or dispute previous views.

It’s just that they are trying to make this about the indigenous people of the Americas when many ancient peoples practiced human sacrifice and were cannibals. Many warriors in the past ate the hearts or brains of their conquered, or took their ears, ever hear of that practice?

It really shows their ignorance to say we shouldn’t have an indigenous people day because of these practices.

Don't let them derail with whataboutism. Of course human beings of all cultures have had cannibals. Just because an idiot with a low IQ and an education to match doesn't accept it doesn't make it false. There's plenty of evidence online. Factual discussions of conflicting history are a bit different.

Because humans are such nasty creatures, diseases are passed along with improperly cooked human.

When researchers made their way to those villages in the 1950s, they found something disturbing. Among a tribe of about 11,000 people called the Fore, up to 200 people a year had been dying of an inexplicable illness. They called the disease kuru, which means "shivering" or "trembling."

Once symptoms set in, it was a swift demise.

Dutch is right. You ARE a stolen valor hero. As someone else just pointed out, you copied your "service" word for word from an obituary. Here it is.

Few historians or anthropologists/archaeologists dispute that some of the Central American cultures -- as well as others -- practiced human sacrifice. It's a common theme among the planet's religious cultures. "This is my body and my blood" ring any bells?

They are scared, on-the-run, soon-to-be-a-footnote-in-history dinosaurs who see their cultural "values" being deposed. About time.

History books are written in human blood.

'History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history.'
— Georg Wilhelm Hegel

The Romans lining the Appian Way with crucified slaves is just one example of mankind's brutality to fellow man.

Socialists, Nazis, Communists, all authoritarians feel the need to tear things down and replace them with nonsense. It is the methodology of dictator-minded people going back for centuries. They must destroy before they build their dictatorships.

Well, so to disappoint all the stupid lunkheads out there, but . . .

Today is Columbus Day, not Indigenous Peoples Day

Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the Americas and elsewhere, and a federal holiday in the United States, which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

Christopher Columbus was a Genovese-born explorer who became a subject of the Hispanic Monarchy in order to lead a Spanish enterprise to cross the Atlantic Ocean in search of an alternative route to the Far East, only to land in the New World. Columbus's first voyage to the New World on the Spanish ships Santa María, Niña, and La Pinta took approximately three months. Columbus and his crew's arrival in the New World initiated the colonization of the Americas by Spain, followed in the ensuing centuries by other European powers, as well as the transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, and technology between the New World and the Old World, an event referred to by some late 20th‐century historians as the Columbian Exchange.

The landing is celebrated as Columbus Day in the United States, but the name varies on the international spectrum. The Dominican Republic, the epicenter of the historical event and where Columbus first set foot, celebrates this day as "The Discovery of the Americas". In some Latin American countries, October 12 is known as Día de la Raza or "Day of the Race". This is the case for Mexico, which inspired Jose Vasconcelos' book celebrating the Day of the Iberoamerican Race. Some countries such as Spain refer to the holiday as Día de la Hispanidad and Fiesta Nacional de España.

Giornata Nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo or Festa Nazionale di Cristoforo Colombo is the formal name of the celebration in Italy as well as in Little Italys around the world.

The Indians were fucking savages. The European civilization was superior. Sorry of that hurts the little socialists feelings.


The Redskins had no roads, no hospital, no buildings to speak of, no schools, no science, no nothing.


The white man had a Senate and Aqueducts and Coliseums and roads that spanned Europe over 2,000 years ago.


Facts don't care about your feelings, shitheads.

It's always fun to see one Stolen Valor Cocksucker jerk off his sock puppet of a Stolen Valor Cocksucker.

BTW, your signature is probably a Rule 14 violation. Jus' Sayin'. :)
