I'm sure some Irish resorted to it during the potato famine, but to claim "the Irish practiced cannibalism" is intellectually dishonest and typical of nonwhites trying to grasp at straws to drag us down to their savage level.

New phrase? It's a pretty common phrase where I'm from.

Conquered? The vast majority of Native Americans were killed by communicable disease transmission. As the late James Blaut wrote in his Colonizer's Model of the World, "The Americas were not conquered: they were infected." "We"? What justifies your usage of that possessive pronoun? What role did you personally play? Quote:

Britain isn't Ireland, clown. The Romans never set foot there. You've been caught in yet another lie.

Modern Britain's considered as including Northern Ireland, McQueef. The same Celtic ethnic groups inhabited the region prior to Germanic invasion.

You're also wrong about the same celtic groups inhabiting both islands. Ireland's celts were Gaels from Galicia and Asturias. The Celts in Britain were Gaulish from what is now France. Try again, ignoramus. |

http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Can...151504185.html In some parts of the world, cannibalism has been rife. Universalists want to make out that all peoples are the same in response to environmental pressure. |

"Strabo is the first to describe the Irish people, albeit in unflattering terms as gluttonous, incestuous cannibals. The short 1st-century AD passage of Tacitus is the clearest and most informative statement on Ireland in classical literature, revealing that some Romans had military intentions toward Ireland, were familiar with the land and its people, and were actively engaged in trade with the island (Agricola 24)." Roman contacts with Ireland "It does seem, however, that there were extensive trade contacts between Ireland and Britain and it is likely that Romanised Britons and indeed Romans themselves would have been regular visitors to Irish shores. They probably came to trade, make political alliances, and to visit sacred sites such as Newgrange. Some may even have stayed long enough to form small communities, who chose to bury their dead according to Roman custom." Actually, Greco-Roman narratives on Ireland and its inhabitants are similar to Western European colonial narratives on America and its inhabitants, both involving a negative depiction of those inhabitants as barbarous and uncivilized, which is simply a colonizer's racist justification. The Greek geographer and philosopher Strabo writes of Ireland that, "The people living there are more savage than the Britons, being cannibals as well as gluttons. Further, they consider it honorable to eat their dead fathers, and to openly have intercourse, not only with unrelated women, but with their mothers and sisters as well." The Roman geographer Pomponius Mela writes that, "The inhabitants of this island are unrefined, ignorant of all the virtues more than any other people and totally lack all sense of duty." As summarized in Thomas Wright's History of Ireland, "Strabo had expressed his opinion of the barbarism of the inhabitants of Ierne, by informing us that they eat human flesh, and that the sexes lived in promiscuous intercourse, without paying attention even to the ties of blood. Mela tells us that the Irish of his time were so uncivilized, that they were equally without sense of virtue or of religion, and Solinus, who describes them as an inhospitable and warlike people, and gives several other instances of their barbarism, assures us that they made no distinction between right and wrong. Their cannibalism seems to have been almost proverbial; it is alluded to by Diodorus Siculus; and St. Jerome, at a much later period, declares that in his youth he had seen Scots or Irishmen exhibited in Gaul, eating human flesh."

Sorry Valdez, I have a hard time believing you're a "brown boy".I strongly believe you're a "Peach Bearded" white leftist college punk posing on the internet as a "minority".If I am wrong, I apoligize.There's nothing wrong with standing up for your race.

I guess that I've posted numerous pictures to the contrary means nothing.

Europeans did not have a vast technological superiority over Indians. On the contrary, America was more highly populated than Europe at the time of contact and possessed superior science, mathematics, and medicine.

http://www.precolumbianwheels.com/ Mesoamericans used wheels on small ceramic figurines; they did not use the wheel for transport because of the absence of suitable draft animals such as horses or oxen. If the Mesoamerican Indians' wheel had met the Andean Indians llamas and alpacas, things might have been different, although those animals are best suited for mountain climbing. The "greatest European civilizations" did not invent iron either; it's generally believed that European iron production originated from a barbarian or semibarbarian tribe in Anatolia or the Caucasus Mountains between 1400 and 1200 B.C., although there was independent African production, as evidenced in research such as Schmidt and Childs's Innovation and industry during the Early Iron Age in East Africa: the KM2 and KM3 sites of northwest Tanzania: "The KM2 and KM3 sites provide critical evidence for the assessment of the development of complex forms of iron production in Africa. The density of similar sites along the western shores of Lake Victoria indicates that this area was the center of a highly productive, technologically efficient, and innovative Iron Age culture. The origins of this technology perhaps originated in the desiccated zones of West Africa, such as southeastern Niger. In that region at Agadez, Gr~benart (1983:14) has dated iron smelting (with a southern origin) to 490 _+ 100 bc, and iron smelting has been documented in the 7th century bc at Azelik, 145 km NE of Agadez (Calvocoressi and David 1979:10). It is always possible, though, that the evolutionary progression we have seen in the development of the preheating technique during the first half of the first millennium AD may indicate an invention indigenous to the region." There was likely also an independent (Asian) Indian production of iron that predated the Anatolian tradition, as evidenced in Tewari's The origins of iron-working in India: new evidence from the Central Ganga Plain and the Eastern Vindhyas "These results indicate that iron using and iron working was prevalent in the Central Ganga Plain and the Eastern Vindhyas from the early second millennium BC. The dates obtained so far group into three: three dates between c. 1200-900 cal BC, three between c. 1400-1200 cal BC, and five between c. 1800-1500 cal BC. The types and shapes of the associated pottery are comparable to those to be generally considered as the characteristics of the Chalcolithic Period and placed in early to late second millennium BC. Taking all this evidence together it may be concluded that knowledge of iron smelting and manufacturing of iron artefacts was well known in the Eastern Vindhyas and iron had been in use in the Central Ganga Plain, at least from the early second millennium BC. The quantity and types of iron artefacts, and the level of technical advancement indicate that the introduction of iron working took place even earlier." Can't you even use something as simple and easily accessible as Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallu...an_Mesoamerica Quote:
In Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest, Matthew Restall explains that guns were of limited use to the earliest Europeans in America artillery pieces such as cannons and firearms such as harquebuses were in short supply and difficult to transport, tropical and sub-tropical humidity dampened powder, rendering guns inoperable, and that more effective weapons such as the musket and more effective battle techniques such as volley-firing had yet to be developed. In 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus, Charles Mann explains that the pistols owned by Jamestown colonists were inferior to arrows in range and penetration. In The Mystic Warriors of the Plains, Thomas E. Mails explains that quickly drawn and discharged arrows can be fired more rapidly than a historic revolver, and at short range can penetrate further than the ball of a historic Colt's navy pistol and that the bow and arrow was not abandoned to a very great extent by Plains warriors until they acquired repeaters such as the Winchester 66 and the Sharps .50 caliber carbines.

Is this link suppose to strengthen your arguement?
http://www.precolumbianwheels.com/ 2) Wheels were heretical, or forbidden for other reasons. Again this might be a case of a religious connection. Certainly, in Western religious traditions there have been numerous objects that were forbidden from use. However, there is no record of this being the case for pre-Columbian Wheels. 5) They could not solve or evolve the supportive technologies needed for functional wheels: bearings, uniform manufacture, etc. For a wheel system to function, to be used for its intended purpose as a load-bearing locomotion system 6) Wheels might have been in limited use, but the technology was lost, and no artifacts remain. |

There's no "argument" that there were wheels in pre-Columbian America, queefer. It's just a fact that I was pointing out.
