@Irish Princess i try not to use that anymore tbh, it's too easy

uhh like its literally untamed land, natives didn't own every square inch as i said before

f**kn j**

cuz yall europeans used to shit in the streets and think leeches and bloodletting was valid medical advice

????

id say yall were savages

Why're you bringing this up

you said the lands were untamed

yeah

but the natives were there

like undeveloped

oh you mean unexploited

???

No?

you said undeveloped

Like there wasn't roads or many permenant buildings there?

so?

it was all wilds?

natives had huts

and canoes

Yeah and?

they built from the natural environment

and

they didnt exploit the environment

im not saying native land was undeveloped, because the land that the natives were on

I'm not even talking civilizational-wise
