I try avoiding areas where there's serious potential for confrontation.

I?ll delete a bad remark. And bite my tongue.

I?ll delete a bad remark. And bite my tongue.

Speaking of biting my tongue.....

My 2020 mottos are:
"More I become opinionated, less opportunities I would receive."
"More I become opinionated, dumber I get."


I had a very successful year to suppress my opinion face to face due to way less social interaction from covid19.
However,I think I am using this platform to express my opinion and let some steam out.

Very true. However in this case there is a segment of the population that still resents what the Spanish did 400 years ago. I have a hard time believing most people really think their lives would be better if the Europeans had not landed in North America.

Legally, it is unprovoked physical violence.
...

Can you prove it was really unprovoked? (rhetorical question;provocation is subjective)

"Pissed off" is not the issue...

Was he accosted at "contact" distance by an aggressor? Did she make any physical contact whatsoever? Regardless of the answer to that, did he think she may have a weapon or or otherwise feel in immediate danger? Did she perhaps look feverish and he was worried about a face-full of 'Rona-spittle? (thus potentially in fear for his life)

Deadly force at that point would in no way be justified; however, given what's known about the circumstances, I'd bet that a solid shove/push to the ground could easily be defended as self-defense using appropriate and justifiable force...

I would rather be alive than die with horses with many Spaniards brought.

Christopher Columbus brought a host of terrible new diseases to the New World

When Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean and touched down in North America in 1492, he changed the world forever. He bridged the "old" world in Europe, Africa, and Asia with the "new" world in the Americas.
But along with a new wave of settlers, he also brought with him a devastating suite of scourges.


The Native Americans' immune systems were not equipped to handle this. Along with their own set of diseases at the time, Columbus' arrival created a devastating concoction of maladies.

"It was a culture clash, obviously," Stephen Prescott, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation president, told the OMRF news site. "But it also launched a clash of infectious diseases."

These infections were disastrous. OMRF reports that their impact was more catastrophic than the Black Death in medieval Europe, which is estimated to have killed 25 million people in just five years, between 1347 and 1352.

Of the estimated 250,000 natives in Hispaniola, Columbus' first stop in the Americas in 1492, new infectious diseases wiped out a staggering 236,000 indigenous people by 1517 ? nearly 95% of their population.


Medical records were sparse or flat out didn't exist back then, so it's difficult to say exactly where and when certain diseases emerged. But here is an inexhaustive list of 30 diseases that were believed to have either been introduced to the new world ? or worsened ? in the post-Columbian era, which we found in a 1992 study in the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology:

1. Smallpox

2. Measles

3. Influenza


4. Bubonic plague

5. Diphtheria

6. Typhus

7. Cholera


8. Scarlet fever

9. Chicken pox

10. Yellow fever

11. Malaria


12. Lyme disease

13. Q-fever (bacterial disease carried by cattle, sheep, and goats)

14. Leishmania (parasitic disease)

15. Whooping cough


16. African sleeping sickness (parasitic disease)

17. Filaria (parasitic disease)

18. Dengue

19. Septicemic plague (one of the three main forms of the plague)


20. Schistosomiasis (parasitic disease)

21. Anthrax

22. Botulism

23. Tetanus


24. Toxoplasmosis

25. Taeniasis (tape worms)

26. Staphylococci

27. Streptococci


28. Mycotic diseases (fungal diseases)

29. Syphilis

30. Legionellosis (bacterial disease)

Almost like a virus being brought here from China...

Almost like a virus being brought here from China...

So far entire world received Sars, Swine flu, covid19. I bet we will get more. I mean 1/5th of probability that any disease will come from PRC. Any place can generate disease.
Problem entire world has is that HOW PRC handled it prior to spreading to the rest of the world.

Sadly those people received many diseases as a gift, but those disease could have came 500 years ago or 500 years later.


Oh yeah they had no vaccines, treatment, nor antibiotics.
