Good guys,bad guys,cowboys and indians.

[aj]

Who were the good guys and who were the bad guys?Who was the superior race? One side had the bible....the other side had their religion. Who was in the right and who was in the wrong? Weren't deSota and the Europeans pretty cruel. Did the indians that killed Custer at the little big horn go to hell. Did the farm boy from Kansas who killed enemy in WW1 go to hell?What about Black Kettle,Roman Nose,Tom Custer? What about the Dog Soldier war society branch of the Cheyenne indians? Did people who fought on the side of the Confederates in the civil war go to hell? Was Abe Lincoln gay? How tall was Roman Nose really? What about Oakland Raider fans? What the hell is wrong with those people? Are all Iowan women corn fed? These are the things that keep me up at night. ;D

AJ!! They have a pill for that!!    Take the pill and stop watching the History & Discovery channels!!!

We find arrowheads in certain areas on our farm.    Sometimes it makes me think.... 

 

[BIGTEX]

Iowa women are definitely corn fed!

 

[Telos]

You don't need a pill AJ. People who ask questions are OK IMO.

If I were an American Indian, I would have made it a top priority to kill Custer and most the white man for that matter. It was either kill or be killed. I just wish our public schools would not censor history books.

???Why are Texas girls tall and skinny, and only corn fed from the naval to the shoulder/

Why when we were kids, jumping off the hay stack, did we yell GERONIMO?

Why are nice guys single, and nice girls in abusive relationships?

Why does a cow poop as soon as she gets into the barn, and a horse as soon as he is loaded on the trailer?

Why can't a dog catch a squirrel, yet you see them dead on the street all the time?

 

[aj]

Could it be evolution? Texas women need to provide shade and Iowan women need to catch the sun....probably not. I know I heard that Dolly Partons feet were small cause nothing grows much in the shade. What does the N on the Cornhuskers helmet stand for....nowledge? Why is there air? What is the definition of is. And what did Nixon know and when did he know it?

 

[ELBEE]

Who is "they"? And why are "they" conspiring against "us"?

Why do I understand every word of Knabe's? And LinnettJane's silly surveys, but I don't have enough cash for a cup of coffee?

Why do my friend's wives like me?

Why are youngsters bad?

Why aren't automobiles traded on the board of trade?l

 

[oakbar]

Now, now!!  Don't be knocking the Iowa women--we've got quite a few "Iowa Babes" that post on this site and with the member locator function they may be tempted to find you where you live!!  I was raised by one, and I'm married to one, and I can only make postive comments about them--it was a lesson hard learned!!

Singer/Comedian Ray Stevens ( who was born in the county south of me ) had a song where a squirrel on the loose caused the conversion of a whole church congregation whether they needed baptizing or not - don't you think he could whip that dog if he caught him.

aj, id have to agree with kanshow on this on....quit watching so much tv and take that pill!  (lol)

AJ & ELBEE,

I think Edger Winters said it best......................

The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
So I've come here, to give you a hand
And lead you into, the promised land

Chorus:
Come on and take a free ride(free ride)
Come on and sit here by my side
Come on and take a free ride

All over the country, I'm I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning, at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within, so

Come on and take a free ride, free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride

Come on and take a free ride, free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride

Come on and take a free ride yea, yea, yea, yea......

My old coach could tell you why there is air.....it's to pump up basketballs amd footballs and soccer balls. ;D

Most of the latter day plains indians played war all the time. They constantly fought other tribes. They raided and stole horses and women from each other. I'm saying they were a noble savage but didn't white men and invade their territory. Although they were kind of nomads. And didn't the Cheyenne move out of the Minnesota area to say the Eastern Colorado area. And because the horse was domesticated in the late 1700- early 1800's by the plains indians weren't they trespassing on land that the clovis and folsum people(if you believe in that stuff)? It seems like all conflict occurs when space becomes limited and people are pushed together.There were good and bad white men but the indians were basically finally starved out when the buffalo were systematicallykilled out to put a final end to the indian trouble makers. But.......what the hell is wrong with Oakland Raider fans?

 

[jbw]

Just asking, but, AJ, by any chance were you painting indoors with the windows and doors shut yesterday? ;D

But.......what the hell is wrong with Oakland Raider fans?

your guess is as good as mine????

AJ, here is an excerpt from a Buffy Sainte-Marie song...

Hear how the bargain was made for the West:
With her shivering children in zero degrees,
Blankets for your land, so the treaties attest,
Oh well, blankets for land is a bargain indeed,
And the blankets were those Uncle Sam had collected
From smallpox-diseased dying soldiers that day.
And the tribes were wiped out and the history books censored,
A hundred years of your statesmen have felt it's better this way.
And yet a few of the conquered have somehow survived,
Their blood runs the redder though genes have paled.
From the Grand Canyon's caverns to craven sad hills
The wounded, the losers, the robbed sing their tale.
From Los Angeles County to upstate New York
The white nation fattens while others grow lean;
Oh the tricked and evicted they know what I mean.

Oakland Raiders fans are Lyle Alzado-less, that's what is wrong with them. That guy made watching the Raiders fun whether they won or not.

 

[showcattlegal]

You guys would think a lot different about things if you had to live with the indains everyday like me.

It seems like all conflict occurs when space becomes limited and people are pushed together.

most conflict starts well before that.  sparta and athens weren't even remotely close.  england and france were not close.  england and the US were not close.  mexico and the US were not close.  japan and the US were not close.  england and germany were not close.  france and germany were not close.  when authoritarians seek to put people in close proximity to serve their needs, THAT is when the seeds of conflict are planted.  most conflicts are started because someone thinks they ought to get stuff others worked for.
