Most of the plains Indians just died. There are reports of villages where every single person was just dead.

There is suggestion that this caused the buffalo numbers to explode because of the cessation of hunting.

Of course the whites then shot them all for skins and the tongues, leaving the meat to rot.

Almost the entire Australian Aboriginal population of Tasmania died of small pox. Most Australians will tell you that they were killed by genocide in massacres. Which they were not.

Reservations are hotbeds of alcoholism, domestic violence and sexual abuse.

There are basically no employment opportunities outside taking money from the government.

If you live on a reservation and you want a good job or a career then you go where the work is, just like everyone else.

The USA switched from substance farming to a factory production economy in WWII. Agriculture was mechanised and people have been moving to cities ever since.

This has impacted every single small rural town, and native American reservation are no exception. Except Native Americans have their cultural identity tied up in being isolated and jobless.

It is exactly the same with Aboriginal Australians. Most of them that live in Sydney or Melbourne no longer speak 'language' and they might even get jobs.

You have a great point. The complete honesty of humans on the internet is why the koto of GamerGate is: "Trust and then trust some more."

There was that one time we thought we found a false flag, but we were mistaken. We listen and then we believe. It is what we do.

Over here a midwifery degree is a four year degree, same as a nurse. It is one year less than a doctor, and the difference is about a year spent on the wards with training wheels and mentor. Doctors do more placements on the ward.

New nurses and midwives then spend a year under supervision before they are fully qualified. Midwives work in hospital birthing suites as well as hospital-run home birth services.

Home births are not always a stupid idea. It depends on the risk-factors and the level of support required. It takes a surgeon an hour to scrub-up for a A1 C-Section, so as long as no one is bleeding to death (which drugs can fix, mostly) then a trip in the ambulance doesn't slow down a surgical intervention.

A doctor that can't get liability insurance can't practice. They are done. A serious malpractice judgement will end a doctor's career.

Most female engineering graduates don't ever work in the field.

So the whole "design a good bearing housing" thing? Yeah, women (in general) don't.

There are notable exceptions. I know a truly exceptional female engineer.

In general, the best scholarship and internship are given to female engineering students. Only something like 20% of thoe ever go on to work in the field.

Look at Natalie Portman. An qualified aerospace engineer. Not one day at the job. This is standard.

And yet you were not good enough for a long term relationship.

I mean, kudos for not getting eaten alive. She absolutely could have destroyed your career, if she so chose. So, well done with that game of Russian Roulette.

Care for another spin?

Ah, it isn't forever. She will have one kid and they will get divorced at about year seven.

He will get divorce-raped and make child support payments until the kid is 18.

After his most productive years are behind him and his kid hates him (because mom told them to) he can have his life back!

Yes. A cricket match takes a long Ng time to play. There was a simplified version called "Rounders" popularised in schools. It is quicker to play and focuses on big, spectacular hits.

Cricket is (at the core) a game of defense. The batting team defends the wicket from the attacks of the bowler while also trying to make runs to score. It is absolutely a game of endurance, with a test match lasting a couple days, and a Test Series is about five games.

There are shorter versions of cricket matches, with one day matches (50 overs) and 20/20 (20 overs) and they require differences in strategy.

To sum up, an international Test Match Series has deep strategy, where the resources of the bowler meet the risk-taking of the batsmen over days.

I know it looks a bit dry, but if you like baseball you should watch a game of 20/20 and see if you can come to grips with the reasons the players are doing what they are doing.

Population replacement is 100% genocide.

Genocide is destroying a culture. Killing members of that culture is a popular way to do it, but others exist. Observe the mass castrations n of African slaves for the middle eastern slave trade.

You specifically asked if someone would rather be born and given a chance or not be born.

A baby born with a chromosome disorder or a massively underdeveloped brain isn't perfectly healthy.

If I ever decend to such a state I hope that my family will (kindly) end me.

My city is racist by requiring shoes and a short to enter a store or a bar.

It keeps out roughly half of a certain demographic.
