I recently found a music video of the song "Creek Mary's Blood" by the band Nightwish, this music video is fanart, the video part was taken from the movie Into the West. I am raising this because both the song and the movie are very strong pieces describing the slaughter of the Native Americans. I wanted to discuss this topic with people more knowledgeable than I, and I thought this video a good place to start.

This video and several more, all created by the same author, can be found at this website.

EDIT: Okay, what is putting that space in there? Either use the link to the page containing all the videos or copy and paste into your adress bar.

MOD EDIT: Link fixed.

Look at the text area of the screen when fighting it. It's shield will change colors. Purple means magic/lightning affects, red means fire and blue means ice.

Musical instruments that cannot be found in metal are the absolute worst instuments ever. Lucky for everyone, all instruments that I know that exist can be found in metal.

Since this is a mostly spam topic anyway I feel no reason not to pollute it. So two things, Aran.

1)Where did you get the name "Dagon" from.
2)Funny quote.

When I talk about combatting the effects of racism, I mean fighting two categories of things:

1) effects of here and now racism, like job or housing discrimination
2) pervasive effects of past racism on a large scale, like economic, social, psychological, geographic, educational, and political (etc) marginalization

Now, the second category certainly applies to Asians as well as blacks (and a host of other groups, some of whom are white). But that whole transcontinental transplantation + centuries of enslavement thing is a bit of a trump card.
I seem to be under the impression that American Jews are doing plenty well off, despite also falling under that second category.

Wow. Tax people to the point of idiocy and throw money at problems and hope they go away. I'm surprised you're so totally clueless as to suggest that this works, but then again I am talking about TM.

The government should not be responsible for everything. In fact, it should be responsible for the barest necessities. It should be in charge of keeping the country together and all that falls under that. That's it.

I'm surprised that you failed to learn that that is the premise under which the seperate provinces were joined to become "these united states of America". Heck, even I, an Israeli know that.

Fortress of Grah-Hoth.

"I have scryed for the Red Beacon. It was located on the surface in the posession of Scarmiglione. He was using it to control rakshasi. I sent a small force including some of my anti-magic forces to teleport to a viable point nearest the Red Beacon.
"They are now in a temple. The humans there were in an chaotic uproar over the rakshasi and were easy to ... 'persuade' to help in removing them."

"Rakshasi? I would prefer if you did not kill them all. When this 'Red Beacon' has been secured I would like to contact them."
