Hey,Scott. You might be

Michael Evans — Fri, 3 Jul 2009 19:03:51 -0400

Hey,Scott. You might be happier moving to Iran or some where else where theocratic dictators rule. Between those Muslims and those Spanish speaking folks, you are going to be a minority very soon. They'll come and take your home, your job, your healt insurance...you better start packing now so you can be one of the first one's to get out. Paranoia is a serious mental illness.

Get a life.

Oh, I forgot. I do listen to NPR. But you already knew that didn't you.

If theft is theft...

Scott Ives — Thu, 2 Jul 2009 15:24:22 -0400

Why won't Michael return what was stolen? He could easily remedy that wrong. His version of history goes something like this...White Europeans came to the new world, killed, raped, and pillaged and now own everything. People who now inhabit this country are bad and should be ashamed of themselves.

That version of history leaves out some very important facts...before white Europeans came here in large numbers, it was a fairly routine occurrence for the local natives to wipe-out their weaker European brothers, right down to the last man, women, and child. Further prior to the arrival of white Europeans it was also fairly routine for native tribes to annihilate one another, down to the last man, women, and child. White Europeans did not teach the native cultures something new. In other words...atrocities were not a European invention.

The pattern of building civilizations is more like this...migration, contact, then competition, which is resolved by one side or the other gaining the advantage.

History is repeating as we speak. Illegal immigrants...some forty-million by some estimates have migrated to America and are living off the riches of this nation. We seem to be oblivious to this invasion even in the midst of catastrophic economic circumstances. States are near bankruptcy, yet they are still providing financial incentives for illegals to remain in our country. Even more troubling, read about the demographic changes that are transforming America within our lifetime. Measuring birthrates and illegal immigration by the various ethnic groups currently coming here, in thirty years America will have an Afro-Chicano majority. The likely language of this country will be Spanish.

I hope for Michael's sake that the next wave of citizens in the majority are as respectful of liberty and property as the current group has been.

Might makes right

Infidel — Wed, 1 Jul 2009 18:14:46 -0400

Yo Scott,

You seem to be arguing that might makes right, or perhaps, the ends justifies the means?

And yes, the Romans and Goths etc. and our ancestors did in fact steal the lands that they lusted after. Why does the accurate word stealing bother you? Guilt? You seem to be protesting a bit too much. And of course the original, or current, inhabitants were always demonized as less than human or neanderthal, or HEATHENS to rationalize their destruction commanded by one of the gods. How convenient.

The issue here, it seems to me, is that stealing is stealing no matter who does it. And no, I do not feel guilty about what my ancestors did, but one reason for the study of history is to learn from the mistakes of the past, and perhaps try to improve on the human condition. I would argue that there were, and are, other options to forming civilizations that exclude smiting and stealing in spite of what the gods say.

By the way, I don't ever listen to NPR because it is too right wing.

Shalom,
Infidel

Did I misunderstand your

Michael Evans — Wed, 1 Jul 2009 06:48:39 -0400

Did I misunderstand your rant? You really weren't comparing Native Americans to neanderthals. Cheating them and killing them and taking their land, was ok, because YOU say so!!! LOL. What a crock, but you aren't responsible. I get it. Typical. Blame someone else. Grab yours while you can. I've got mine, screw you.

What History Books Do You Read?

Scott Ives — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:05:16 -0400

Neanderthals were a primitive people that died off about 40,000 years ago. Because there is little in the way of a written record describing their demise, we assume it was due to the rise of Homo Sapiens. It is plausible that with larger brains, advanced tool making skills, and an assumed improvement in the way they ordered their society that they replaced Neanderthals as the dominant human species. Do you feel guilty about that? Your very existence is likely due to that advancement.

Your guilt does not translate to anything tangible. If you really believe the stuff you are peddling then make your personal amends...contact one of the surviving members of one of the local tribes and give them your land. I mean their land which you stole. As with many phony liberals...you only expect others to make good on these wrongs. Do you believe your guilt gives you immunity?

It's Bush's Fault, it's the rich people's fault, it's the homo sapiens that are to blame. Liberals are the ultimate teenagers, everyone else must pay for their extravagances and desires and they never take responsibility for the harm they cause!

Should we feel guilty for

Michael Evans — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:23:52 -0400

Should we feel guilty for supplanting Neanderthals?

Nice Scott. Nice way to talk about a people who died from a European genocide. And it was a genocide from the very beginning. Maybe you should read some history about the times. It was a genocide that went on for three hundred years, until the descendants of these same Europeans had taken all the lands for their own greedy selves. That you support that and find it something to be proud of makes me sick. You should be ashamed of what our ancestors did to these innocent people. I ancestry goes back to the early 1600s in this country, and I am shamed by what happened in the name of God and MONEY.

You can hold your hand you know where waiting for that deed, BTW. Never would it be yours.

Live up to your tough talk..

Scott Ives — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:45:38 -0400

Hi Bill,

So nice to have you back!

Michael,

Name calling is boring...I assume by your less than intellectual reply you intend to give any land you currently own back to the Native American peoples you stole it from. The rest of your assertions are too ludicrous to respond to. I will be waiting for for your deed as a sign of your sincerity and true remorse...well?

So, when the Muslims come

Michael Evans — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 07:02:51 -0400

So, when the Muslims come and take the land from you, you'll be fine with that, I assume from this rant, Scott. You would have been all for slavery back in its day as well. I mean, really, throughout history, people kept slaves, whether they were captured in wars, like land, or just for the hell of it. All you rightwing wackos seem to be the same. You and Bunker, two peas in a pod. Nice, how you compare the native American people to neanderthals. Conservatives are pigs. You can put lipstick on a PIG but it's still a PIG. There, how do you like that.

Scott,

In the eighties, women were enamored with "sensitive" men who showed weakness, were soft spoken and found their feminine side.

Today, it seems as if they all work for NPR. There are a couple of good radio presentations but for the most part, the whispering voice of metrosexual men and perfectly e-nun-ciated words flowing from women who never grew out of the 60's anti-war movement is quite unlistenable.

Diane Rheem falls into this category as well as Laura Knoy here in NH. Their introspection and "blame Americans" and our ancestors is the order of the day as they verbally tug at the heart strings of the self apointed 'deep thinkers' who tune them in and fill their propaganda fuel tanks.

Worst of all, TAXPAYERS PAY FOR THIS FORCE FED PROPAGANDA. It is all quite sickening.

This is more of the ultra progressive movement which we should realize is the Neo-Lib or Neo-Prog wing of the Democratic party. Strength and honor and pride in our country are some of the characteristics which are out of vogue with these folks. They feel intellectually superior and they believe they have it all figured out.

No, Scott, we should not feel guilty about supplanting anyone. Perhaps we can supplant some of these self important enlightened souls. History will smile on that.

To Each Dad His Own...

Scott Ives — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:55:17 -0400

I concur, my father and mother are wonderful people. I am sorry you do not have your Dad with you to celebrate. I am sure he was a wonderful man as well. Hope you could look back fondly and remember some good times. As to your step sons, girlfiriends father... Even Dads need a day off once in a while...and by the way another english major, especially one with some of your better qualities might not have been so bad! Hoping for good things to come your way...Scott

You're very lucky, Scott

Ken Braiterman — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:59:54 -0400

You're very lucky, Scott. My father has been gone five years now, and I chose not to have children, freely for good reasons. No regrets there. A child of mine might grow up to be an English major.

I heard a twist on your Father's Day setiment that might amuse you. My stepson has a serious girlfiend with a very hard-working father, All he wants for Father's Day is to be left alone to work on his truck. Father's Day will be his first day off in three weeks. But his wife and children insist on taking him to a restaurant,

Scott Here...

Scott Ives — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:42:21 -0400

Hi Brian,

Loved the post..it was funny and well written!

Hi Ken,

I am sorry to hear you are going through some difficult times. I will mention you in my prayers and hope for better news!

As usual...

Scott Ives — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:08:55 -0400

A poignant reminder to stop and smell the roses...well done Terri!

Do you feel guilty for being a have?

Scott Ives — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:54:04 -0400

Why? No doubt some people with money are thieves, some are the recipients of good fortune...most, however simply worked their backsides off and now are reaping the rewards of their efforts. Earning a good living, sharing of your own volition, and creating prosperity for others is not something that should be punished, it is something to be celebrated!

There will always be thieves, some just dress better than others.
