And the bigotry continues

I really don't understand what the problem is. No one is asking you to do anything different in your life's than you already do. It has no effect on your life what so ever. Long before we came along people have been trying to stop change and they'll still try long after were gone. We live in a progressive world. It always has been. Gays have been around for thousands of years before we stole this country from the native Americans. Who by the way never heard a dam thing about Christianity before we got here (I guess god and or Jesus didnt find it necessary to let them know what was going on) or the native south Americans either, just to name a few. Be more accepting of the change or dont, it doesn't matter. Instead of posting a four foot long response telling me how wrong I am (and I'm not) maybe some of us should look in the mirror and ask what the hell We're so afraid of.

No one stole this country from Native Americans. Mostly, it was won through military conquest, the spread of European diseases, trading for trinkets, wampum, guns, liquor and horses. If Native American culture was superior it would be flourishing even today. Instead, the remnants of poor tribes live on reservations with too many consumed by alcohol and despondency. Anyone who has bothered to read and understand history realizes a small, unadvanced society is ripe to become victims of a larger, more advanced society. Manifest destiny was and is more than a slogan.

Everything you said is 100% correct. But don't try and act like "stole" is the wrong choice of words when one society does that to another. I know history quite well by the way, my girlfriend says I'm obsessed with it actually. Lol. If ppl came trying to push me out of my home, tried to trade me diseased blankets and bribe me with trinkets I would say they were trying to steal it. But I guess if it's millions of ppl it's manifest destiny. You know like when Hitler took over Poland or france, it's destiny!

Not only did the Pale Faces get land, they also got tobacco, syphilis and casinos from the Early Americans. I suppose small pox for syphilis was pretty much an even up trade. Same goes for tobacco for alcohol. The Early Americans are reeling in the wampum through their casinos, but are probably paying a hefty percentage to the greaseballs to operate them.
