Ooh! Here's another good one, and it even starts with a quote by a Six Nations man who is a Professor at my university! Imagine that: An Injun with a PhD. Oh Fishmeal, you must be shaking! :D
Imperialism and Colonialism
Interesting links. Especially the second one. I wonder what would have happened if Columbus had landed in the real India. Well, some of his country folk did get it right at some point, and created a bloody mess there as well. It's funny why they don't get enough mention.

Ok, I gotta ask :) Don't laugh :D What's a shortbus?

A short bus refers to the type of buses for school children that are handicap accessible. Most of them are used for children who are mentally retarded and in special learning programs. That's why people joke about "the kids on the short bus". Really though, those are children with mental handicaps, and they shouldn't be made fun of.

If Columbus had landed in India I think people would still say he had "discovered" it, and well, you know what happened here (I'm guessing) so most likely something similar would've happened there.

I haven't seen anyone work this hard for attention since the twins both set their cap for the wide receiver of the football team back in high school.

I have a bone to pick with that racist asshole Ishmael. Just let me amuse myself. If you're not interested then just pass by.

Honeychild, if it's a 'bone' you're wantin to pick with him, wouldn't it be easier, and more time efficient, to PM him and just say "I want .. I want you NOW!"?

It's not that kind of a bone. I just finally got sick of hearing him say that Native Americans are pieces of shit, that we should be dead, that we're a cultural dead end, that we're barbaric savages, that the Europeans were the best things to ever happen to us... etc.

Just let me vent. :D
 
*sigh*

While Ishy and I have spoken in the past and I don't think he's quite evilness personafied that you, and some others, seem to believe him to be. I don't always agree with him on things he says or does here, and he's fully aware of that.

But I would certainly LOVE to see links to direct comments Ish has made stating even 1/4 of what you've just said he's said.

What you read isn't always what is typed. Our own influences and experiences colors how we preceive things.

And if you think for one millisecond that any of this, your thread and lame insults against him, really bothers him. I hate to be the one to burst your happy lil bubble.. but I'm fairly certain that isn't the case. Instead you're just coming across as some crazy zealot.
 
No she's pretty on the money this time, not a lot of reading between the lines.

However as for the India issue, the Europeans had made it there and back, India was the goal beacuse they had this thing about black pepper and cardamom and all the other spices that you could get there and nowehere else, among lots of other goodies.

So had CC made it there, my personal conjecture is that he would have come back with a bunch of cardamom, some silks, a few people with the surname Patel, and Queen Isabella would have paid him paraded him and then history would give him a small but far less significant footnote.

That is if he hadn't gotten some malady or eaten by tigers, or killed by local nobility.

Ignore them.

If someone feels compelled to chastise you for calling Ishmael out, while ignoring his constant bigoted ranting, it's not worth your effort to respond to them.

Listen,
1. As I've mentioned before, I'm doing this for myself in order to vent.
2. Ishmael is a racist asshole. Check his Bashing Christians Again thread and wade through the crap if you don't believe that he has a problem with Native Americans.
3. I don't give a shit what you think about me or this thread. In my opinion, Ish comes across as a nut. So if you want to think I'm crazy then good for you. It's all a matter of perspective.
4. If you don't like the thread then don't read it. Making smart-ass little comments serves no other purpose than to make you irritating.
5. Considering the shit that Ishmael posts, I think this thread is quite tame.

I don't think I could possibly make myself any clearer. If you don't like it then get lost.

Agreed. His bigotry toward a number of groups different from him has been quite blatantly displayed recently. Those who choose to ignore it, while criticizing those that call him out on it, aren't worth the time or effort for an explanation.

This is sound advice. Thank you :)
 
There will always be handmaidens to bigotry.

See above.

I've always wondered how people could sit idly by while one ogre practiced his craft again and again and still count that guy as a friend. I'm even more amazed when they're women.

But I'm not with X-baby on this one. Nocojones (Ishmael for the unitiated) is pathological, old, and begging for attention (like the perfectly healthy senior citizen who insists on wearing and using Depends).

It'd be nice if we didn't give him that attention. Or some people didn't sign on to be his fan club of hatred.
