Put those Columbus statues back up!
And the Aztecs were brutal cannibals too.
1. Why would Columbus lie about something like that? I can think of a couple of reasons as to shy he might want to cover-up the presence of a tribe practicing cannibalism but none for saying they were there when they weren’t.
2. I can think of numerous reasons why modern paleontology would want to pooh-pooh the idea of cannibalism being widespread in the caribbean, and it all has to do with the anti-western bias in today’s science.
Didn’t Elvis have some lyrics appropriate to this in his song “Surrender?”
“... all your love, so warm and tender...”
When you have a taste for ribs, you have a taste. And only ribs will do.
Its just their nature.

Apocalypto,
>>It will probably be another 20 years or so before the gay community starts working to get American to accept cannibalism as a lifestyle choice. They have higher priorities right now.
They have their poster children already, Jeffrey Dahmer and also that guy who met another guy on the internet who said it was okay to eat him.
From a logical standpoint, I don’t see how people on islands lacking a primary source of animal protein (other than fish) could survive *without* cannibalism.
Ewww, with a gammy leg?
I’m game, you’re game...we’re all game!
Europeans..........the Other White Meat!...................
...and for dessert, lady fingers!
