So if someone kicks in your front door, shoots you and swipes all of your stuff, that's only fair because you lost?
Or does might only equal right when it's you doing it?
By that definition, you have no right to whine about "Muslim domination", white "genocide" or any of your paranoid persecution fantasies. But of course, you won't see that, will you?
Well, by this logic, the Confederates were inferior to the Union, who had all the advantages in population size, industry, and allies. No sympathy for the inferior South!
It's "fittest" as in "most adaptable", you imbecile.
So, people from Africa and the Middle East coming to Europe and the US is also progress? Them (supposedly) out-breeding us is simply "survival of the fittest", right?
Bull fing crap? Do you mean bull effing crap or bull f-ing crap? Your grasp of grammar seems inferior to most Europeans' (as in "people actually living in Europe").
Randroid detected right out of the gate.
(Because Rand made a speech specifically praising Native American genocide and conquest they've had this weird hobby horse position about how great it is. Jay Naylor, Randroid and scum of the earth, once specifically praised mass slaughter of natives because "Well you don't see anymore Indian wars, so it's good.")
I strongly recommend Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. He won a Pulitzer for this book, and rightly so. The real hero of the conquest of the Americas was Variola viruses, or smallpox. I already had the book, but caught the audiobook on sale at Barnes and Noble, and have enjoyed both. The Randroid comment by Gabriel Le Vedier was spot on. If you don't like these sorts of ideas do not vote libertarian. They seem to be heavily influenced by Ayn Rand and her worthless Objectivism "philosophy". Less formalized, but similar ideations caused the French and Russian revolutions.
Great then ararmer1919. You won't mind if I come into your house, take over, and limit you to live in just your bedroom with whatever I give you to survive. Send me your address so I can do just that. I'm sure you won't mind since you're inferior to me.
Oh and ararmer1919, if it wasn't for Native Americans, the first colonies from England would have died.
So, how much should we be giving to the Vietnamese after we lost that one, eh? Or are they not the superior race compared to the European and African (and occasionally even East Asian) people they defeated?
@Gabriel LaVedier
Did you really have to remind me of Jay Naylor and their philosophy? Bad enough I run into another version of the Randian ideal when I try to read the later Sword of Truth novels. Don't need to be reminded that we too have been infiltrated...
Native Americans lost mainly because of European diseases. And a big part of the reason for the existence of those diseases is that Europeans at the time lived unbelievably filthy lives. Compare with Tenochtitlan, which was probably the most sanitary and most beautiful city in the world at the time the Spanish found it (assuming you could ignore all the blood on top of the temples...)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
