    Well you said I was racist after saying all that stuff about Africans and Natives, thus racist of many peoples.
    Why do you keep saying I'm ignorant? If anything your the igorant one for wasting time I could be spending responding to the other people.

    By that knowledge, all Western culture is associated with Christianity.

    In which we feast on Jesus's flesh and drink his blood.

    Right, so you're saying that people would be better off under a particular culture type. Are you using the amount of well-being experienced by people as a basis to judge the superiority and inferiority of different cultures?

    I’d like to argue against this idea that you’re a racist, but first I want to make sure I understand your position.

    Some of them were not malnourished. Most were.

    And no, they didn't have the best clothing. Sure it was different in that one instance, but only because they had the resources handed to them on a silver platter.

    Ignorance is not being educated or having no idea of what you are talking about. That description fits you perfectly. Also, the majority were not manlourished. You have no fucking idea of what you are talking about

    They certainly had a better lifestyle than the majority of the people in Western nations at the time, who were most often living in complete squalor, probably malnutritioned with diseases such as cholera rife and killing many.

    No, although it helps. That's mainly technological, and then there's the whole, technology does not determine culture stuff.

    No all of them had food as they wouldn't have survived also the clothing worked for them it's all they needed and that's what they could make.

    In this context it's merely a buzzword your using into fooling yourself I'm actually ignorant.

    And yes, they were malnourished and dying of disease all the time. Not to mention how suseptable their lifestyle was to weather. One bad season and entire villiages died out. A good season and the area was suddenly Kings of the World.

    So then what basis are you using to judge the superiority and inferiority of different cultures?

    They weren't how could they have survived other wise and also they didn't start dying in mass numbers till the Europeans brought their diseases.

    You can get by on a civilization that has mass starvation. North Korea, for instance.

    Also, whether or not it works isn't the point. Going and living in a cave and bashing rocks together for eternity "works" too.

    That has happened throughout history including European places like Ireland. Also, if it was not for the Native Americans, th colonist at Jamestown would have met the same fate. You really are ignorant. You didnt even know what the word meant

    Arts mostly.

    I haven't really gone into it in detail on the Forum though because every time we split hairs on definitions it's an excuse for everyone to attack everyone's misuse of words.
    And rarly is there a perfect word for the context.

    Because art really determines how civilized a culture is :roll: And the Native art was quite beautiful, specifically the totem poles they made

    Ok sure, when there's a massive death of all your potatoes and like, what, 80% of your crop dies then sure, there's an excuse to say it wasn't a very good idea. It was fine though because they had a brave New World they could go settle and live in.

    Yes, because when your in an entirly new continent for the first time, largly against your will in the case of Penal Colonies, your not the best farmer. Especially with the lack of resistance to disease and the fact that the supplies were an ocean away. But as soon as they got the jist of it from the natives they started rolling over the continent, slowly but definitly.
