" I'd never vote for a Muslim if I could possibly help it because Islam is diametrically opposed to the Church and Democracy in general on so many levels. If I knew the candidate was an "apostate" Muslim, that would help."

And if you care to make an argument about us being Illegal, and the Indian's having the right to kick us off the Continent, that's fine, but it makes the point that the Indian's also had lousy immigration policy, and look what it got them.

Yeah, I see it everywhere, which is why your post made me think of it.

Now that Tshirt has been around for ages. Classic. I tell you, you give whites an inch, and they will take the whole continent.

Two words: Manifest destiny.



The premises linger, especially strong in Mormonism and American Protestantism. God gave this continent to superior whites. (duh)

A piercing maybe?

From DCP:

The Aztecs and certain other Pre-Columbian cultures certainly used wood for swords. And very effectively, too. At least if the conquistadores are to be believed.

Later in the same thread:

I said nothing about armor. I was talking specifically about Aztec swords, which were wielded to great effect (e.g., cutting off a horse's head with a single stroke).

Cutting off a horse’s head with a wooden sword? Amazing, simply amazing.

I agree. Wikipedia simply cannot be trusted...

Macuahuitl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The maquahuitl (a name that was derived from the Nahuatl language) is a weapon shaped like a wooden sword. Its sides are embedded with prismatic blades made from obsidian, a volcanic glass stone frequently used for tool making by the Aztec and other pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. It was similar to a large wooden club with cuts in the side to hold the sharpened obsidian.
...
...
The maquahuitl was sharp enough to decapitate a man.[14] According to an account by Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one of Hernán Cortés’s conquistadors, it could even decapitate a horse:
Pedro de Moron was a very good horseman, and as he charged with three other horsemen into the ranks of the enemy the Indians seized hold of his lance and he was not able to drag it away, and others gave him cuts with their broadswords, and wounded him badly, and then they slashed at the mare, and cut her head off at the neck so that it hung by the skin, and she fell dead.[15]

I suppose one might try to fault DCP for not calling it a "wooden sword embedded with obsidian."

Ahh, but Daniel said "cutting off a horse's head with a single stroke."

Further down in the same article that you quoted:

For SpikeTV's reality show Deadliest Warrior, a replica was created to test. It was tested against a replica of a horse's head created using a horse's skeleton and ballistics gel. Actor and martial artist Eder Saul Lopez was able to decapitate the model. However, it took three swings. It was most effective when it was swung and then dragged backwards, creating a sawing motion similar to that of the Leiomano, the Shark Tooth Club, the Maori Warriors used in Season 1.
