Give me a break. ‘Disease’ is specifically excluded from any consideration here unless you are willing to say that ‘disease’ is the same as an act of violence, say in a video game. In that case, I would consider you as out to lunch as this Adam Lanza freak. Effed up Lefties.

I accept your concession that there have been only some tens of thousands of American Indians killed by white people in North America during the last 500 years, mostly in combat situations

I made no such concession. I only conceded that there were no solid figures to prove one side or the other.

as the figures show, although you have been a remarkably poor sport about it.

Not really, I just missed the part where you proved anything.

You should thank me, actually, for disabusing you of the idiot Leftist propaganda that 'millions' of native americans have been murdered by whites during this period.

You have offered nothing to prove those figures wrong, or that yours are correct.

You wouldn't want to go around coming off like an imbecile in the future to other people with over room temperature IQs with this manifestly impossible claim that white people in North American murdered millions of native americans over the last 500 years, now would you?

I would rather be called an imbecile by you than be associated with deniers like you.

Especially since you clearly can't back any of this BS up to save your life?

I've posted far more in support of my views than you have in support of yours.

Video games most certainly can desensitize people to others humanity making it easier for them to kill. The military and police use realistic simulations, including videos, for this exact reason.

And how many video games did Hitler play? Stalin? Tojo? The slave owners? The whites who lynched blacks in the first half of the previous century? Hmmm?

I would agree with you, if it had happened through contact during normal relations. After all, the American Indians would have come into contact with foreigners eventually, and this could have happened to some extent even if the Europeans had come here peacefully.

But this wasn't the accidental result of peaceful contact. It was the byproduct of a war of aggression with no regard for the results. In fact, many Europeans saw the Indians contracting and dying from diseases they had no immunity against as a sign from above that they were meant to take this land. Surely, you can tell the difference.
