[Melehete]

after i watched this video Annie Oakley shoots glass balls , my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information

@KodOdessa I'm Native, so you can't really say ALL the inhabitant's were killed.

@KodOdessa

1. Try reading history

2. Think for yourself

3. Don't become a tool

4. Try leaving Sweden, Der Kommisar

@KodOdessa you have been brainwashed. Indians were butchering each other LONG before whites came. If ALL were killed off, why are there MORE indiansd now than ever? There is no occupation.....we fought a war, we won. Indians lost. Give the land back? To who? The Sioux? They stole it off of the Crow who stole it off of the Pawnee etc.

@KodOdessa I know what you mean, it was a rotten thing to do.

You can type those words because American was founded on freedom.

If America had NOT become a super power, what do you suppose would have happened in Europe?

After WW I the Kaiser would likely have bankrupted Germany and Hitler would still have come to power. Then what? Without the vast manufacturing of America the Nazis would have won WW II then they would have come to America. How do you think THEY would have treated the NA's?

[KodOdessa]

1. Invade America.

2. Steal ALL the land.

3. Kill ALL its inhabitants (i.e. Native Americans).

4. Call *yourself* Americans.

5. Preach to the British about killing some of the Irish and stealing

some? of their land.

6. Continue to occupy Native American land.
