Good God man, we know that they had whatever goods they wanted to purchase, once the world showed up to sell to them, they have satellite TV too.

You asked the question, "With this in mind, I ask you...If China or Russia or any other country for that matter landed on our shores to take over...would you fight them? Would you try to adapt? Would you slowly give up where you lived and what you had experienced for your lifetime?"

My answer to that was "If you were a stone age people that was merely a tribe of people instead of being an actual country like a Sweden or Egypt or Peru, then you would probably resist at first just like you did when other tribes tried to move in, or the way they resisted you when you were taking their land from them.
In the end you would deal with the daily reality of Indian life for thousands of years, you took if you were stronger, and you abandoned when you were weaker."

The indians were stone age people.

My question that you refer to was in response to this post:

“Let’s do something to honor the solders who fought the Indians as the sided with the British and the French against the Americans, and the solders who fought them out west. How about some memorial to the innocent civilians killed by the Indians? “

My response had absolutely nothing to do with implement or weapons and all to do with the philosophy of defending what is yours against an aggressor, which is exactly what the Europeans were, albeit slow aggression...

If you wish to stay with your “stoneage” line of discussion, knock yourself out...
