Primative Scuba has a big hate on for America and lashes out in an OP complete with graphic meant to insite. Somewhere along the way several DUmmies point out the folly of his ways.
Dang they are a stupid lot.

3. From what I've read, the Native Americans were mostly wiped out by a plague of small pox.
Spaniards brought it over and it destroyed the population of natives, possibly as much as 90%.
Taking everything else away from the survivors was simple after that. Without that plague, I don't think Europeans would ahve had such an easy time trying to take the land away.
There was a fairly advanced very large civilization on the North American continent prior to the small pox plague.
WRONG.
Facts are provided, but really, facts? What use are those to a DUmmy?

explorers intentionally infected the natives?

22. wouldn't surprise me if they did
every other type of eradication was practiced by the European and the transplants on the Native American(s). That's all the proof or facts I need.
Proof?? Facts?? Heck no we got unsubstantiated opinions. We don't need no stinkin facts!!

27. Look up the timeline on 'germ theory'.
The proof and facts are that no one even knew how disease spread at the time the first Europeans arrived. Now a couple of hundred years later, yes, there was likely some deliberate germ warfare perpetrated. But it couldn't have taken place with the first few rounds of Conquistadors.
Yes DU, home to the best and brightest of the Liberal Left. There are plenty more great examples of their level of intelligence at the link. Bottoms Up!!
Any wonder why the symbol of their party is a JACKASS?
