11/21 General Custard at the Last Stand were defeated by Indians
who had ~200 rifles. How the hell did the injuns get their hands
on the rifles?
\_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Little_Bighorn
"...some of the Indians were armed with repeating Spencer,
Winchester rifles and Henry rifles, while the 7th Cavalry
carried single-shot Springfield Model 1873 carbines, caliber
.45-70.[21] These rifles had a slower rate of fire than the
aforementioned repeating rifles and tended to jam when
overheated... rendering them useless in combat
except as a club."
Well, there ya go. Cheap rifles, probably made in CHINA, could
have contributed to Custer's demise.
\_ time traveling America hating liberals
\_ nice.
\_ I thought it was pretty good too. Thanks.
\_ Is this a troll? They bought and traded for them, duh.
\_ how many trinkets do they need to trade for a rifle?
\_ Now THAT's a troll.
\_ No it is NOT a troll. I'm watching the History Channel now.
I'm not getting laid. -no laid guy #3
\_ Don't you have a day job? Or maybe you have the day
off.
\_ I took the day off. I'm too depressed from not getting
laid. Please have some pity for me. BTW I find it
\_ Why are you not getting laid again? I've forgot.
And what're you doing about it?
hilarious that they dug up all the remains of the
soldiers and had forensic artists mold the facial
bones so that we'd remember them, as well as putting
up nice tombstones at the hill... and they made
NO efforts to do the same for the Indians.
\_ Why are you not getting laid again? I've forgot.
And what're you doing about it?
\_ I watch the History of Sex on the History Channel
\_ In 1878 the army awarded 24 Medals of Honor for
the Last Stand. Good job.
\_ Which "they" did the digging and facial molds?
\_ The state of Montana employees. Go figure.
\_ Maybe they didn't want to be disrespectful of the indian
remains?
\_ The battle of Little Bighorn was in 1876! Of course they
had rifles!
\_ The op indicates that the Indians somehow got their
hands on rifles
\_ why does it even matter? Many of the rifles of the time were less
effective weapons than the indians skilled use of bows&arrows.
\_ Nah, really?
\_ I hear those Injuns have indoor plumbing these days.
\_ Ever been on a reservation?
\_ Yes, I swam in the pool at the hotel/casino and
my room had a jacuzzi tub with an LCD TV
mounted above it.
\_ Then the answer is no. You haven't. You
think the average NA lives like that? How
about the ones who don't have casinos, which
is most of them? Next you'll be telling us
how you met Bill Cosby so you think blacks
in this country are all multi millionaires.
\_ No, the answer is yes. I have. Simple
question: "Have you been?". Simple
answer: "Yes!" You cannot say "Oh,
but you chose the wrong one! Pick again!"
\_ Idiot. The casino is not the
reservation. The answer is "no". You
have never been in a res house or met
someone who does. The casino part is
no different than going to Vegas.
That you would try to say you've been
to a res when you've only been to the
casino which is all dolled up for
dumb white folks makes it really clear
you have no clue.
\_ Um, yes. The casino is on the
reservation and you don't know
anything about me. I have a
friend who taught for many
years on a reservation in
Arizona and still lives on the
reservation. Oh, but they
don't have indoor plumbing. I
forgot. You're the dumb one
for thinking all tribes live
in squalor and don't have
indoor plumbing. Nice stereotype.
\_ I see a few days off hasn't
improved the motd average IQ.
What will it take for you to
figure out the average NA, even
those with successful casinos,
is not living the same life as
the white folks staying at the
casino hotel? I love when
racists use the "I have a xyz
friend" line.
\_ Ha ha. You're an idiot.
Equivelent conversation:
Q. Have you ever been to Nevada?
A. Yeah, I stayed at a hotel on the
strip once.
Q. Idiot! The answer is no then,
isn't it? You think all of
Nevada is like Las Vegas?
\_ Look, the peanut gallery
has put in 2 cents. Stupid,
ignorant, and wrong, but at
least you made it! |
