Amazing how greed can destroy culture....for many reasons, cultures today just cannot stand, nor do they prosper apparently... Yet everyone on the socialist side will tell you how important it is, how you are forced to respect it etc...

    They are hosing each other over the invaders' money. This has been going on for a while. In being disenrolled, people must then enter the same workforce we are all part of. Not fun, is it?

    I did a little fishing beside an Indian town in Washington years ago. I saw those guys driving their trucks, drinking their hooch, netting salmon and harvesting oysters. They lived in these condos on the beach, a fire in every fireplace. Looked pretty good to me. That was pre-casino.

    Very funny, reminds me. On a side note
    I was at Canterbury Downs in the poker room playing Texas hold em. There were 6 players and one of the guys phone rings, he looks at it and shuts it off. His friend asks him who it was and he replied it was his wife and that he was supposed to be home 2 hours ago. "well aren't you gonna call her back"? his friend says. "Hell no" said the player " If I wait a couple more hours I'll get the silent treatment, I'll take that any day"

    Puns are humor, that was reality, sort of.
    Pun: Two guys sitting at a bar. One guy says to the other "I came home late last night and my wife threw a hard cover copy of Canterbury Tales at me. I ducked just in time and it missed me.". The other guy replied, "Let me get this straight, You had a close encounter with a flying Chaucer?"

    Well, now if you really wanted to go off a limb, you could say they created the greys to subconsciously drive everyone in that direction..Unless they are real, of course, then it's maybe a different story..

    Diversity happens, we call it love. The standard "alien" from space is grey, tall and has Asian style eyes. If you take black paint, white paint, red paint and yellow paint that would represent the colors of the shin of the various races around the planet and mix these paints together you get the grey that looks like an aliens skin. It is just a matter of time before we look like that.

    It was NOT a topless duck. I know the difference. It's been a while, but not that long.Besides it was the sweat that made me woozy, not any meds of any kind. Well, perhaps that stuff I drank that tasted a bit like...nah, I thought I was a Peregrine falcon.

    As long as no one is forcing anyone to do anything culture is good for the diversity. Look what happens when breeders try to maintain the "pure" breed.

    They did have some "barbaric" practices, but then, as you point out, it is a universal constant.

    For a fact tribes were doing terrible things to each other way before they saw a white man on a horse.
    Their most advanced cultures were cutting hearts out of captives so the sun would keep shining.
    Not saying Europeans were so great.
    Every race I can think of has been mean as hell to their own kind for thousands of years.

    I dunno. Culture can be fun. I had a friend who was a reasonably rich Ojibway Indian who inducted me into his tribe through a sweat lodge ceremony. It was quite an experience, having a sweaty, topless Native American woman hoo-hoo-hooing in my face as I hallucinated. That's not something you experience every day. I didn't like the exchanging of blood however but I'm an AB+ so what the hell.

    The word "culture" is often used as an excuse for impractical social practices that linger. Perhaps something to be studied and captured, but not practiced.
