Unless you count the way they staked folks down in a river or lake, but then again turtles an other critters have to eat as well. LOLBut they never waterboarded...so no torture.
Recently had a run in with those little bastards.The Indians had some of the best methods, an staking someone to a fire-ant mound or the wet rawhide treatment worked well. Some of the others were down right ingenious but they made people stop an think about getting caught on their dirt.
Their toxin has killed a few people over the years. The Fla an south Ga. long ago tribes use to dip their arrows into the toxin they extracted from the damn things. Even if the arrow just cut you it hurt like hell but if you got stuck by an arrow most never survived the encounter.Recently had a run in with those little bastards.
I was impressed with their bite.

Inject water that is close to steam temp into their mound an you will kill the queen. She dies an the whole mound dies off quickly. There are powders an other such but the hot water is the best if you can do that. The other way is an art form, pore liquid Alm on to the mound an it will kill most everything in it then pull the soild out once it cools are you will be amassed at the money people will pay for it.Got popped 3-4 times on my left leg.
Reminded me of getting a cigarette put out on me.
Didn't know they were around as far north as we were.
Bud says oh yea gotta watch out for those lol.

True but if someone were taking land that had been mine for eons I too would be savage. It just happened to turn out that we were even more savage than them.“Savage” was a accurate adjective, not a racist pejorative.

Like I said, Darwin always wins.
Any of those tribes in Chicago, LA or Boston?
. Fixed it for you.For the most part, native american culture revolved around rape, rape, kidnapping, slavery, torture and murder just as much as hunting or anything else.
I thought the punishment for the crime of treason was hanging ?
Off topic but read some shit yesterday about the Aztecs and watched this morning a show on bats in old Mayan ruins. In the past I've read some books about our own native American populations.
I think they got the term "savage" because by just about any context even in our PC world their dealings among their own and other tribes were SAVAGE.
Aztecs ripping out beating hearts than tossing the bodies down the Altar steps to be beheaded so the skulls could be defleshed and than punched port to starboard to build racks of grisly monuments to their death culture.
Im sure when the Spanish Conquistadors discovered this they must have been struck by the gigantic civic works the Aztecs had produced while at the same time killing thousands in "savage" bloody rituals.
I imagine their first meet was akin to the scenes in Apocalypse Now when the PBY crew comes upon Kurtz "village".
Our own Native American Indian population gained land, trade and status through warring among their own and even better against other tribes.
The Sioux were originally a coastal Carolina tribe. As they moved west to avoid the European settlements do you think the tribes to the west just welcomed them?
No the Sioux fought and kicked ass until they won one battle too many on the Little Big Horn and as one Sioux writer described it as they had been the dominant culture conquering on their travel west, they were now overcome by a dominant culture.
There was not a lot in indigenous culture life that wasn't "savage" but when you are living by the strictest Darwinian rules that is the name of the game.
Indians as environmentalists - sure they may have used every last atom of a bison kill but that is Darwinian necessity not love of Gaia.
There are ancestral hunting kill spots where whole herds of Bison were run off cliffs leading to kills well beyond what the tribe could handle and rather than feeling they had insulted "the great father" they only felt the satisfaction of full stomachs.
You're certainly not going to win many friends among our more enlightened brethren (or "woke," if you prefer). Facts have no place in emotionally charged debate.
I had a discussion (or rather attempted to have) with a fellow preaching the virtues of the American Indian. When I interjected a few of the facts you mentioned, I learned I was, "Misinformed by my racist mentors."
I’d like to punch Maxine in her face.
Yeah , no . No fuckin way I would physically touch that shit . I'd rather go for a roll over in a full porta pot .I’d like to punch Maxine in her face.
Yes the problem with history is that it has happened and the facts are the facts.
I dont hold the past against any culture, I just ask that you own it.
If the culture has moved beyond what in modern perspective is a "negative" practice than beat your chest for the positive growth.
Dont hold the "sins" of the past on those living in the present.
If only.
Funny how the more progressive among us can forgive the history of certain cultures...but no so much with others. How often have you heard the crusades used as justification for Muslim/Islamic terrorism?
This made me laugh out loud in a very quiet room.How about the left over looking the Muslim policy on LBGTQXYZLMNOP issues in present time...........
This made me laugh out loud in a very quiet room.
Dude are you stuck in a safe space ? We can send QRF for exfil . Hang in there brother .This made me laugh out loud in a very quiet room.
Than my waking up today and struggling out of bed has had value even if I do nothing else today.
