Strike will agree that I am too lazy to type out my whole argument of twenty dolla...
I know what I am talking about. Yes at that time just about everyone had a grudge towards indians but honesty was also considered very important at that time. Much more than it is now.
I'm not getting into an argument with a mental midget. People much more educated than us can not even agree on this so I'm not expecting any different here.

What do historians know that we don't. If they think good of Jackson they sure must not know there facts.

Oh, really? Come back and discuss this like a man.
Regardless of what you think about Gene & Paul or even Ace. If you don't like the songs you don't like rock music in my opinion.

If you knew what books are you could go to the library and start to find out.
Most of them know the difference between a place and something that belongs to them too.
I know what books are and I am quite sure that you already knew that so why would you say something so ridiculous. What information do they have access to that we don't? none. We have the same resources as them.

I hope you meant the Ace that is one half of the Ambiguously Gay Duo. In that case I would have to agree with you.

You should at least try Metroid Prime 3 it's better than I give it credit for. Who's your favorite character in Brawl? I still use Capt. Falcon even though he's not nearly as dominating as he was in melee.
My fav. characters in SSBB:
1: Lucario (big shocker, right?)
2: Captain Falcon
3: Samus
4: Snake
5: Wolf
my list:
1 Capt. Falcon
2 Ike
3 Samus
4 Falco
5 Wolf
I kinda figured wolf would be #1 on your list.

I fell out of my chair laughing at this one!
EVERY President breaks promises!
Who told you bull. I can't stand people who think that all politicians are lies. There are many members of Congress of course you are going to have a few unpleasant people but I believe that the large majority of them our honest people.
(struggles not to burst into laughter)

Andrew Jackson was very very cruel. No doubt about it he was our worst President. His signing of the Indian Removal Act was absolutely ridiculous.
He made a lot of questionable at best actions but I have a hard time thinking badly of him. He also wasn't the only president who ordered atrocities or stood by while atrocities happened to Native Americans.
He promised that any indian tribes that fought on his side during the war of 1812 would be allowed to keep there land. He broke his promise. There is no excuse for that.
Well, if we count the list of broken treaties between the US and the Native Americans...it's not exactly the only time something like that happened. i can't condone his behavior, I just think we neeed to condemn all of the people not just one.

Well Jimbo, he definitely had his detractors, but you should try to understand the context of the thinking of the times. Perhaps in 40 or 50 years you might get an epiphany on the topic.
He broke his promise to the indians. There is no excuse for a liar.
If we condemn him for simply being a liar we have to condemn a shitload of presidents. Like I said what he did is not something that should be condoned, far from it. but he's far from the only one who's done something like this in this country's history.

It's true. Andrew Jackson was far from the only one who wantedd the Native Americans off that land too. As I remember the response from most wasn't exactly negative.
