The Great Muta 22 08/21/17 8:07:30 PM #63 | GreatEvilEmpire posted... They bought livestock over to establish a colony, not to purposely infect people. The crazy things people make up sometimes. Historical stories point to Lord Amherst requesting that smallpox infected blankets be sent to the Indians, like this one in Carl Waldman’s Atlas of the North American Indian about a siege of Fort Pitt by Chief Pontiac’s forces during the summer of 1763: “Captain Simeon Ecuyer had bought time by sending smallpox-infected blankets and handkerchiefs to the Indians surrounding the fort—an early example of biological warfare—which started an epidemic among them. Amherst himself had encouraged this tactic in a letter to Ecuyer.” "You will do well to try to inoculate the Indians, by means of blankets, as well as to try every other method that can serve to extirpate this execrable race." — Jeffery Amherst[12] "Out of our regard to them we gave them two Blankets and an Handkerchief out of the Small Pox Hospital. I hope it will have the desired effect." William Trent, William Trent's Journal at Fort Pitt Perhaps it wasn't him directly though, I'll try to find that information --- |

It's easier to believe that millions died because their immune system was not equip to deal with smallpox and other diseases. I'm pretty sure this is the same thing people use for the Holocaust argument... And it's still genocide if you purposely infect others with a disease to kill them dude --- |

"This indicates that marijuana use may carry even heavier consequences on the cardiovascular system than that already established for cigarette smoking. However, the number of smokers in our study was small and this needs to be examined in a larger study." --- |

See when you say shit like that it completely invalidates your "point". Not only are you insinuating that "the left are violent and kill cops", it's intellectually dishonest to claim that murder was a member of BLM when there's proof after proof of him being disillusioned with them. Not to mention the DPD meeting and having a peaceful cookout WITH the BLM chapter right after the event where both sides came together with unity.

No people literally want to be like "my ancestors were slaves by white people and you're white so you're bad!!!" but they forget West Africans sold their own people as slaves during the Atlantic Slave Trade and when you bring it up they are double-standard hypocrites about it. Cherry picking the past to drive their victim narrative implanted my a socialist government meant to control their every aspect of life. Sure, we absolutely need to inform people that the people sold into slavery were more often than not other tribes that were conquered in Africa. We also should point out that the use of slave labor in the US extended far past other European countries and that the US system of plantation slavery was by far unique to the US compared to the rest of the world. --- |

Yeah there's that too. Which is why the whole "erase history" argument rings as disingenuous to me. When you have the majority of these statues erected during the Civil Rights movement it's clear they weren't built to "honor history", they were built at best to reshape history and at worse to intimidate people. --- |

They were used as reminders in the south during segregation. Nothing honorable or cultural about them. It was funny how poorly made some of these things are.

Lmao this is fantastic https://www.buzzfeed.com/amphtml/adriancarrasquillo/steve-bannon-detonates-his-trump-survival-plan-worrying But the latest development in the White House drama — a rare on-the-record Bannon interview with the left-wing American Prospect in which he detailed his preference for a hardline stance against China on trade, said North Korea "got us" because a military option makes no sense, and openly talked of his feud with Trump's chief economic adviser Gary Cohn — energized but concerned allies who worry Kelly won't look positively at undercutting Trump on North Korea and knifing senior officials publicly. "The only thing I would change if I were in his shoes is I don’t like that he named Cohn," a Bannon ally said. "He can say globalists, everyone knows who that is." (As if to reenforce the word association, Breitbart, the news site Bannon formerly ran, bracketed Cohn's name in globes on its front page on Wednesday.) "I don’t think Kelly’s going to like any of this," a second Bannon ally said. "He's not going to like the North Korea thing. That the chief strategist, who is being called a leaker, is caught on the record on this one." --- |

The Great Muta 22 08/17/17 4:28:48 PM #8 | Yeah that's garbage, and she should resign immediately. That's why you don't social media when you're emotional. “I condemn it," McCaskill said in a brief emailed statement. "It's outrageous. And she should resign.” Missouri Party Chair Stephen Webber said in a separate statement that Chappelle-Nadal’s comments "are indefensible. All sides need to agree that there is no room for suggestions of political violence in America — and the Missouri Democratic Party will absolutely not tolerate calls for the assassination of the President. I believe she should resign.” --- |

The Great Muta 22 08/17/17 10:46:17 AM #29 | Caution999 posted... Muta's attempt to draw me back in. Appreciate it buddy, but I'm retired. Relax, I was being a bit sarcastic but I honestly think you should for that reason. Okay, I'll give a serious response. You tend to get angry over things politically and repeatedly make statements about turning the other cheek then going back on it like an hour later. It's clear that the entire thing bugs you and it really is easier(and probably better for most people's mental health) to pull out and try not to care as much if it's causing you mental angst. Especially if you're to the point where you feel your reputations shot. But don't be surprised if others try to "drag you back down", because ultimately you can't erase your past history or comments and expect others to cater to you. The best thing you could do if you really want to take a stand is to ignore it and just go about your day. Don't feel the need to respond to every little "slight" or attack, just let it go. You control your level of involvement, not other people. --- |
