I see. So the Native Americans decided to kill the invaders of their land slowly!

Now that's either clever or a strange conspiracy theory!

If thats true then im glad...the Americans back then treated the Indians like shit so im glad they got their revenge in some way. However...i find it unlikely...If it was it would mean Indians would have to follow the whites around waiting for them to die so they could scalp them and thus (In their believes) wont have to fight them in heaven...or wherever Indians go.

they have to scalp them or they fight them in heaven? dout it especialy since it was the europeans who tought them to scalp people. people don't reinvent religions that fast.

HAHAHAAAA...
 
Fool. Europeans dint teach the Indians 2 scalp. Indians did it since they developed. Where the hell did u hear that the Whites taught Indians how to scalp!? The only time whites did was in the 'Little Big-Horn' fight (I think) Where the Americans killed a entire village of women, children and warriors and then severly mutilated the bodies in a act of pure revenge. Thats the only time...get your facts right before you try and contradict me...

Reasons not to smoke tobacco:

1. Bad for you and for those around you. Damages the lungs and is extremely addictive.

2. Unappealing. Smelly, discolours the skin and teeth

3. What's the point anyway? It has no effect on your body or mind at all. A lot of people believe that smoking helps you to relax, but in truth all it does is counteract the effects of Nicotine Withdrawal...

To change the subject slightly, I do smoke Cannabis, though. Basically, I smoke it because, unlike Tobacco, it makes me feel good. Also unlike tobacco, it causes no long-term damage to the body, does not discolour the skin or teeth, and is not physically addictive. The fact that Cannabis is illegal and Tobacco is not is nothing to do with their effects, it is because Cannabis can be easily grown in England, and so would be difficult to Tax, whereas Tobacco can only be grown in subtropical countries, and so can easily be taxed.

Ewwie
 
smoking buddah and nickle bags is a joke. So do other drugs and people would kill someone to even get some. It's unhealthy and it causes cancer. And also, it's nasty!

I looked it up and here are the facts. scalping was practiced by a SMALL tribe of native americans until the french started offered ing rewards for british scalps.

You smoke the Enlightened One? How dare you! Buddhists across the world would be up in arms if they weren't all pacifists... ;)

Joking aside, does "buddah" mean Cannabis? If so, then your facts are a little inaccurate. If not, then I apologise, and leave this post as just the joke...

Well, i've noticed the thing in the post about indians giving americans tobacco: Well, the stuff the indians smoke has so much nicotine in it that it was considered hallucinogenic. Compare 15% nicotine indian tobacco to our 3 percent nicotine tobacco and you will see what i mean. I think that the indians were just using a tool to get betterr trades and not slowly get vengence on people just a thought
