It's only genocide if its the willful freaking destruction of an entire people. But as far as what happened was there was war between the Native Americans and dun goofds by the Europeans. For example.

>Euros bring disease. Hoshit we never knew that Natives sucked in resisting it. They did use it as a weapon but not to annihilate everyone. God, Europeans have been chucking rotting bodies at each other in a siege.

>Natives Americans dying because of feudal system. Hoshit we never knew that either, said the Europeans. They were farming when we arrived (well, the Native Civilizations) but we never knew they can't handle this sort of back breaking work, lets bring in niggers.

I agree with >>13089

No one meant to kill them all (except those few crazy bastards), mostly they just wanted the injuns to move off their land using whatever means necessary. They didnt really care how it happened, the natives just had to leave.

Skip a couple hundred years, there's now almost none left

a hunter-gatherer race trying to be civilized is bound to fail.

If we could map all the energy/matter in the universe, and the probability of them changing states, we could map the probability of any future event. The problem is that it is not possible to meet that first condition, so it is with your question.

Obviously socialists can only attempt Soviet style communism

>>13072

You mean to say that Socialism and Communism are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS? That's just crazy talk.

>>13073
Even more crazy than the fact that Occupy Wallstreet wasn't a socialist movement?

I do not think any calendar system actually has a Year Zero, I believe all of them start with a Year One, and all are back dated.

My favorite calendar is the Julian DAy Date.

I'm pretty sure that's a logical fallacy, but can't recall which one.

>>13057

It's not one with a fancy name, just an arbitrary assumption. But really, it's no more arbitrary than the point we call the birth of Christ, that also has no conclusive evidence behind its exact date.

In other words, it is unsound to say "X is the year the Big Bang happened", but no more unsound than it is to say "X is the year that Christ was born"

bullshit, south america is filled with all kinds of savage mongrels. That many did not die

And besides this thread exists to demonize europeans, as if the islamic world or east asians would not do the same

>>12872
Medieval? You mean Renaissance?

>>12872

Most of it wasn't.
But the lunatic assholes that were, had a much more devastating and lasting effect.

I guess I should've also clarified that there are detractions from comparisons as well, and they should be listed/argued too

maybe islamism is closer to european protestantism or something

anyways you get the idea, I was just throwing that one out there, do your thing or whatever

comparing current figures to historical ones might be a good idea too

>>13000
What is your definition of Islamism? If you mean the advocation of equal rights for Muslim people, then yeah I guess I can see how its similarly marginalized as an ideology, since people, especially Europeans, think that they're invading or something.

I don't see any other correlations.

>strict reforesting measures are implemented
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiga

"The main forestry practice in the boreal forest of Canada is clearcutting, which involves cutting down most of the trees in a given area, then replanting the forest as a monocrop (one species of tree) the following season."
"Industry officials claim that this process emulates the natural effects of a forest fire, which they claim clearcutting suppresses, protecting infrastructure, communities and roads. However, from an ecological perspective, this is a falsehood, for several reasons, including: a) Removing most of the trees in a given area is usually done using large machines which disrupt the soil greatly, and the dramatic diminution of ground cover permits large-scale erosion and avalanches, which further damage the habitat and sometimes endangers infrastructure, roads, and communities. b) Clearcutting removes most of the biomass from an area, and the various macro and micro-nutrients it contains. This sudden decrease in nutrients in an area contrasts with a forest fire, which returns most of the nutrients to the soil. c) Forest fires leave standing snags, and leave patches of unburned trees. This helps preserve structure and micro-habitats within the area, whereas clearcutting destroys most of these habitats."

maybe you need to rethink your smug superiority, the pointless shit your government is doing isn't any better than what anyone else in the world is doing

>>13026
Well some blurb on Wikipedia that's clearly not biased at all is all I needed to see.
Call me completely convinced.

>>13027
You know what they say: Reality has a liberal bias.
