Out-maneuvered, out-numbered, and out-gunned, the Filipinos would flee north to new positions beyond the next river” View all 8 posts FireEagle in reply to StopNsmelltheroses: I was kidding haha it got its name when John Ponce de Leon landed there (1513) and named it after Spain’s Easter celebration, which was called “Pascua Florida” (“Flowered Pascha”) that fluoride thing is crazy tho (: is fluoride harmful to the Alberta people?  StopNsmelltheroses in reply to FireEagle: It's harmful to all of us. It's a neurotoxin. But cool history about how Florida got its name. FireEagle: “The captive was tortured to death. When they saw that he was passing out from the fire, they severed his hands and feet, and then his head. The war captains that captured him cooked and ate his head, and the rest of the people cooked and ate his feet and hands to gain his solid soul” FireEagle: U really gotta recognize when a family member has acted selfishly ur entire life even when its hard to spot….. if u dont recognize and distance urself and learn to heal from it ur adult life and social relations will be a miserable circus FireEagle: The US Army conducted search and destroy missions against bands of plains Indian nations. This is not genocide as we may think it is in our western concept. The Indians understood their war forces as identical (but epitomizing) of their societies as a whole, such that every member of their tribe or nation was at war with every member of a different tribe or nation. They would kill as many of the enemy as they could when possible and convenient, but would also expect to be totally killed, or face rape and/or tortured to death if captured, by their enemies. And so the Army understanding their mindset and (very holistic) outlook on life, engaged them in war in the same holistic, simple, pure, horrifyingly savage way in which they engaged in war with anyone There was hatred, but also mutual understanding and respect |
