How are the Aztec sacrifices any different than what happened during the Crusades and the Dark ages? "Medieval torture device" ring a bell?
Human beings are flawed because we are spiritual beings in animal bodies. Most of the time the "animal side" wins the battle. It's our job to try and defeat the animal and achieve the spirit.

Exactly! You had two cultures, equal in barbarity, cruelty, and the more dynamic one beat the other one out.

RE: If the Europeans Never Settled in America...
to the great myth of 'one beat the other out'
No one ever beat the other out, you just 'preemptied' us.
You should learn that not one inch of american soil was won by the americans, from native indians, in wars of aggression. Mexicans maybe, but not from native indians.
Every square inch of land taken from native indians by americans, was done with lies, underhanded tricks and broken treaties.
There is no such thing as 'we won this country fair and square'..
We take back our country now because you have never shown us any respect, and, if you pay attention to all the haters on this site, you never intend to.

RE: If the Europeans Never Settled in America...
Lies, underhand tricks, and broken treaties are just as effective as any other approach, right?

RE: If the Europeans Never Settled in America...
you're looking at it 100% backwards. If europeans hadn't settled in america, and taken the concept of individual sovereignty from the native indians, you'd still be living in serfdom. under the devine right of kings, the crown law, the pope law, which, some may say you still are, to include the admiralty law, but you never would have been able to at least pay lip service to individual freedoms without the native indian.
No u.s. constitution, no napolean, 'peoples army' war, and, another thing that happened in 1789, the mutiny on the bounty, whether that had anything to do with the native indian's concept of individual freedoms, or not, I wouldn't know, but. I wouldn't say its impossible.
What I'm saying is, that, even your concept of what america stands for is different than it would have been, without the native indian.
in short, america would not be america, without the native indian.

RE: If the Europeans Never Settled in America...
there is evidence that the so-called native americans wiped out the earlier white native inhabitants. Many tribes have these myths.

Whereas defeating them in battle is honorable?
Robert Heinlein said that "Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity."
In the end, the stupid guys lose out, regardless of honor, pride, or being "in the right".

I'd trade my laptop, car, job and apartment for it... Would you?
Then you would've been born in Europe (assuming your ancestors survived long enough to breed) and it wouldn't matter to you.
You'd still have printed books, but you probably wouldn't have been taught how to read them.
