Guess you've never heard about the Comanches that would rape a woman, gut her then put burning coals in the gut cavity while they were still alive. In addition

  You know, I have in fact heard this sort of thing all my life and I used to believe it too. But now I hear stories of Liberals who perform satanic rituals while they drink the blood of children or torture them in basements of pizza parlors that don't actually have basements, and I'm thinking some of those old stories might not be 100% on the level. Certainly there was some scalping going on back then, but the elaborate torture stories sure sound like something one ethnic group might say while de-humanizing another. I've also heard that a lot of the medieval torture devices are actually just Victorian inventions made up for gawks which sounds plausible; you don't really need elaborate works of ironmongery to torture people when the time-honored methods of beating the shit out of them with fists or clubs or various forms of water torture seem quite effective.

  I actually know a lot (relatively speaking) about the Comanches, including what kinds of experiences they had that drove them to be so vicious. Not to put too fine a point on it, they were responding to atrocities committed on them and their kin by the Europeans. Doesn't make any of it right though. And the Aztecs were pretty far gone, in my opinion, they sound almost as bad as the old Assyrians.
