    Uh yeah that’s what happened, it happened over 150 or so years, but it happened. However, go ahead and choose to rewrite history. You’re good at it.

    Uh no. That’s not how the country was founded.

    That/your view is very simple minded and ignorant. It just is.

    So how many Indians were there in 1607? How many were there by the 1920s? You choosing to rewrite history is fascinating. Please go on and share with us how you think over the course of 200 plus years, the newly found inhabitants of this country didn’t obliterate an entire culture and way of life?

    I guess this is all just fake news https://www.history.com/news/native-...-united-states

    I don’t think the US was a country in 1607. I don’t believe I’m wrong about that.

    Huh, did the Indians not fight and lose? Pretty sure there was a whole war or two they were involved in. Also, how do you feel about indentured servitude and anti Catholic discrimination?

    How’s the view from that high horse?

    I’m not the one with the high horse. Speak to Lou about that and his views on anyone that looks different than him. Don’t be stupid, you know what 1607 is, and if you don’t, pick up a history book.

    No, Ville. I’ve read a lot of history and no, the country was not founded in the manner you think.

    The US was not a country in 1607. Don’t be stupid Ville.

    I’m aware but thank you for that history lesson. Since you have chosen to be obtuse about everything per usual, ill see myself out

    I'd like to know why he and Paul are excusing, or maybe even advocating for the destruction of western culture.

    Why bring up the Indians? Do two wrongs make a right in their eyes? Very strange reactions from those two....
    When they say, “We must protect our democracy,” switch the word “democracy” to “bureaucracy”, and it will all make sense.

    My point is that it’s rich to complain about someone different from you being in a position of power, and “destroying a culture” considering our own country’s history. You also heavily implied that just because they are Muslim, that’s a bad thing. Pretty discriminatory of you. But I’d expect nothing less.

    Hmmm, so is it your position that the US gives back the land?

    I’m confused by your position. You stated the Country was founded through exploitation. That is not true. It was founded through blood and battle.

    What are your thoughts on North Africa during Jefferson’s tenure?
