--- Quote ---My roots, once again. My grandpa was a straight Aztec, or Mexica as they call themselves. He was 100%, out of the village indian, and he had all the features of someone that was 100% Mexica, or Aztec, whatever you want to call them. My other grandpa, Apache Indian from Arizona, but I don't know him that much, so I don't count his blood. My grandma, well she's mix for Native Mexican and Spanish, like most Mexicans. And my other grandma, she's Southern Piute from California.

Well put on some leather skins, get your peace-pipe out, dance around like a drugged up retard and have a blast!

my tribe did not have a peace pipe. That was the eastern tribes, they grew tobacco there. Over here, we had nothing of that sort. Depending on what tribe you talk about, there is different cultures. The Paiutes (the correct spelling... lol) they were peaceful traders and farmers. They were in the San Bernardino Valley, so they were the middlemen between the Indians from L.A., and the High Desert. They never had a war, ever in their tribes history. Eventually they were kicked off the land so Italians actually, can grow grapes and oranges. I still like Italians though, many of the great grandkids of the original Italians are cool as hell, and I don't blame them for the past, it just happened. Anyways, another part of me is Apache, which was the last tribe to stand against the Ameicans. Traditionally, they always fought against other tribes, basically as the best warriors this country has ever seen. They eventually gave up after other Apaches started turning to the U.S. after the U.S. promised them a better life. Of course the Apaches that worked for the U.S. would also be kicked to the reservation. The Aztec blood comes from one of the great empires the world has seen. The advances in math were second to none at the time. They knew when every eclipes would happen, and at the time, the Aztec calendar was more accerate than the basic European calendar, of course until they changed the calendar after they found out that 10 months as year was not cutting it. The other part of me is a mix of mainly indians from Mexico that was outside of the Aztec Empire, and alittle bit of Spanish that came. You can't go without having some Spanish blood, and there it is... lol. The indians there basically were just part of Spanish conquest, and the Spanish is me is very faith, as I'm still dark, but not as dark as my other grandparents or my father who are dark as hell.

no culture is right or wrong - they all equal - just because Western Culture has somethings other cultures don't doesnt mean its necessarily superior - cultures dont all work toward the same things. cultures don't progress along a straight line so it is impossible for one to be ahead of another.

the reason why some dudes think the western culture is superior is because of money. they think they are wealthier, have larger weapons, better equipped military - so their culture must be superior. but it's not.
Trauma-san:
That's one way of looking at it. The wrong way... but one way. LOL I see now why yall are liberals. You have no sense of reality. It gives you visions of poppys and daisies to say things like "all cultures are equal, just misunderstood"... but it's just not true, lol. Ironically, you're the same people that DON'T believe in God. It's all quite contradictory, but whatever, you do you, and I'll do me. :)

I think you're wrong there, buddy... I gave a perfect example why I think Western culture is superior to certain other cultures to a certain extend.
