And that’s how USA was made!

The moral of the story: turtles are pathological liars that won’t give you their gold

That’s some real shit

@BronyHeresy  
unless you were either Roman or Norse, then you bathed at least once a day.

This warms my heart.

…Well that could be wrong. Just my perception maybe.

In europe, there really wasn’t a such thing as hygiene until bacteria were discovered. Clean did not exist ’til quite recently.

@Alis
 
That’s what I meant.
 
The Natives were generally very clean people and first thought the settlers must’ve reeked or something.
 
Sorry for the grammar.

@ Zombie Trotsky.
 
You have that bathing thing backwards. It was the Europeans who never bathed.
 
Europeans were amazed at how much First Nations People bathed and their obsession of not smelling like shit.

@Zombie_Trotsky  
That and the Native Americans had no previous experience, and therefore resistance, with the diseases the Europeans carried. And yes, many Europeans intentionally infected Native Americans with diseases like smallpox when it was convenient, a form of biological warfare.  
On the other hand, syphilis is a terrifying disease that still infects millions of people a year, and it was believed to have been a disease that Columbus’ men picked up from the Americas.

Toos, toos everywhere.
 
But yeah, as long as contemporaries acknowledge that their societies aren’t perfect in how they deal with individuals, the collective, and their environment and they actively try to do something about it, it’s all good.
 
Also, to be fair, while settlers weren’t the nicest people, most (90%+) Native Americans died from immigrant diseases because they never bathed until like the 17th century or whatever.

Too many toos.
 
Ugh.

@Zombie_Trotsky
 
Well there’s a lot of effed up things too in modern times too.
 
I am aware of that, and I’m not denying that.

@Yorec
 
By that logic, the same could be said for modern times.

Why did they all not fuck? It’s the only proper ending to anything, ever.

Values Dissonance at it’s finest.
 
Boy life back in the olden days was pretty effed up when you stop and think about it.

Beautiful
