Horrendous scenes in Las Vegas. The videos make me feel sick, the amount of rounds being fired there is going to be a serious amount of casualties I think.
Terrible world we now live in. |  | | |  |

Look up the definition of genocide. |
No need to really is there. What would you call the murder and scalping of innocent women and children?
Anyway.
Genocide: The deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group.
I'd say scalping innocent women and children who are from a different ethnic group qualifies. Wotcha ya reckon? [Post edited 6 Oct 2017 0:42]

Okay possible wasn't the best term to use there, as forms of genocide took place, on both sides, indiscriminate killing of both adults and children (scalpings a common thing by the tribal sides on both opposing tribes and European settlers). It still does not change the fact that other factors were as important, if not more so on the decline of native tribes in the area.
Shades of grey and all that. |
An invader, an unwanted alien doesn’t get to choose the moral high ground, nor define genocide. No f*cking way. Shades of have to agree to disagree. |  |

Basically anyone who isn't an idiot or of a certain political bent that want's to minimize the awful things their particular racial group has historically committed.
"See! They did it too!"
That type of thing.
Just to be clear, the native Americans did not commit genocide against Europeans. | | | |

Incorrect. You obviously have no understanding of the meaning of genocide. The indiscriminate murder/scalping of innocent women and children who play no part in any war is an act of genocide. That cannot be disputed surely? | | | |

Erm, no.
Look good luck on your quest to find someone else who thinks the Native Americans committed genocide against the European settlers.
You may find some, it is Planet swans after all, but they will definitely be idiots and/or of a certain political bent. Probably and.
Good luck anway. I'm going to bed. | | | |

Let’s have a game of semantics shall we? There was a starting point for the indiscriminate killing wasn’t there? The indigenous people didn’t want anyone coming over and slaughtering them did they? | |

Back on subject, a sad consequence of this tragedy in Las Vegas is this:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/05/after-vegas-shooting-bump-stock-is-hot-at-gun-st
Another sad consequence is the spike in the stock price shares of gun manufacturers on the market this week. I'm always a staunch defender of free enterprise, but this is undeniable evidence that the system has its warts.
No, the USA hasn't become the hellhole that idiots like whoflungdung fantasize about, any more than London and other major European cities have become the Muslim terrorist hellholes that far-right wing alarmist idiots ramble on about. But we have to address these issues, with open minds and legitimate understanding of other points of view. Unfortunately, the divisive, defensive nature of modern politics has made this more difficult than ever. [Post edited 6 Oct 2017 4:09]

Look up the definition of genocide. |
Would actively murdering 25% of an areas population count as genocide? Would killing whole homesteads of settlers who had been in place for a generation or more count.?
Would wiping out opposing tribes completely also count as genocide? |  |

The massacre of the native America DOES have a relevance .
The frontier spirit etc,a land that was forged from the gun ,hence the obsession with firearms to this day
See the light yet
Btw...I ll expect retraction on the ludicrous concept of native Americans dying out through disease
Cowboy films my arse .
There again the spirit of John Wayne and Randolph Scott still evident
Get rid of your guns .You don't need them to defend your home,nor to kill for your dinner |  |

According to experts on the subject disease was responsible for killing 90% of Native Americans.
Keep trying. | | | |

In fairness, lowest estimates are 80%, although right up to 98%. So 90% is probably the average between the two points. | |

Spend some time doing research.
There are long lists of massacres
So ,the "white man "is innocent . Same with slavery really as disease must have killed many in Alabama and Mississippi in the fields of cotton .
You really are John Fookn Wayne ,by the looks of it
Mankind in general has hunted many beats to the verge of extinction btw.
No WAS SHOULD KILLING ANIMALS FEEL SPORTING OR ENJOYABLE
NO NEED FOR WEAPONS TO BLOW THEM ASUNDER

One of the main reasons for the demise of the Native American was the US Government's attempt to exterminate the buffalo!!
The massive slaughtering of buffalo in the 1800s worked to disconnect the animal from Native Americans. This had a substantial impact on Native people, physically as well as spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.
An estimated 31,000,000 buffalo were killed between the years of 1868 and 1881 with only 500 buffalo left by the year of 1885.
By the end of the 19th Century, the Native American population was only 237,000, down from one million a century earlier. |  |

One of the reasons (the biggest one in all probability) for the American Independence rebellion was never taxation as they claim, but the fact that the British restricted movement West after the 7 year war, which removed the French obstacle to expansion West.
After they won their Freedom the frontier opened up and they violently expanded. As Tummer said though, most deaths was from disease.
The Canadian expansion was the original blueprint by the British which was a more controlled expansion via treaties with the aboriginal peoples.
Quite a few moved North of the border, including Sitting Bull of General Custer fame and the Indians fought on the British side when the US invaded Canada in the in the early 19th Century. |  |

Haven't really paid much attention to this thread, but is Perchy really trying to claim that disease wasn't a major cause of Native American deaths? |  |

In 1763 Sir Jeffrey Amherst, commander-in-chief of British forces in North America, wrote to Colonel Henry Bouquet at Fort Pitt:
“You will do well to try to inoculate the Indians [with smallpox] by means of blankets, as well as to try every other method, that can serve to extirpate this execrable race.”
Consequently, settlers spread smallpox to the Native Americans by distributing blankets previously owned by contagious patients.
“A war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct.”
— California Governor Peter H. Burnett, 1851 | |

Seems it was down to the Indians ,after all
Jesus lads.come on | |

The white man slaughtered tens of thousands of Indians. And for Indians you could easily substitute the word Aboriginal, Native, Tribesman or any other noun for an inhabitant of land that Empire Builders wanted.
Quite often they were doing it themselves of course (apart from the Aborigines, they seemed quite peaceful) but it doesn't excuse that. | |
