You seem to think they can't afford it.

In the old days we got them addicted to alcohol, now they're playing on our addiction to gambling. Revenge, a few hundred years in coming, but revenge.

Uh huh, revenge, cause oh it was just on the news a few minutes ago: the Indians have started a bloody campaign to reclaim the territorial Unites States, killing all who stand in their way.

Actually, if we had done that, we wouldn't have Indians anymore. We killed a lot of them, but the majority of them we just put in holding pens. Check you history, Rictor, before you start with this.

And perhaps we should have killed them all, because until that point in history that was the generally accepted method of dealing with indigenous peoples in the New World, and it has worked out well for most countries in the long run. You don't seen indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, or the Aztecs, or the Mayas causing their governments trouble. That's because they don't exsist.

That's cos they murdered them all so they wouldn't come back in 200 years and say 'Uh...guys, what the hell have you done to our country?'

The UK did it in Tasmania, it's one of our many National mistakes.

Actually, the Aztecs and Mayans fell to smallpox.

If it weren't for smallpox, Troy would've won the Trojan War and all of America would be controlled by the Aztec, Incan and Mayan governments.......or be part of the British Empire.

Yah, but the spaniards did a good job of wiping out whomever was left.

:nod:

The behaviour of both the Americans towards the Native Americans and the British towards Australian Aboriginals is a stain on both countries history.
