They continued their religious war in the Americas and tried to destroy all that wasnt European Christianity. They tried to subjugate an entire hemisphere.

I wrote on her wall how disappointing this is. I don't appreciate the thought police. I read through the thread. There was some passion, sure, but I didn't see it as a flame war! See 7 other replies

I loved the animations. There's going to be a lot of speculation about the Maya leading up to 2012 so this should be required viewing for people who wonder what we REALLY know about their culture.

I Agree. I read through that entire thread. That wasn't a flame war. Discussion? Yes, Argument? Most likely. Flame war? Hardly. You wanna see flame wars go look at comments on English dubbed anime series. No, these people were talking about subjects relevant to the material in the episode. There was no throwing of insult, no cursing at one another. It was an open and intelligent debate. See 7 other replies

Loved it. Thanks for putting it on. I liked how they got involved with the epigraphers from the various colleges and universities and the young man of 12 was one of many to crack the code. It seems they all had a little to do with it ... so refreshing to see. Thanks Hulu.

Terminating a discussion thread? WOW!!!! JUST WOW!!!

Thats unprecedented on ANY website. It goes against the very integrity of having open discussions.

Censoring profanity is about the limit of what I will accept.

Censoring ideas is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

This dialogue was HIGHLY APPROPRIATE.

I wasn't part of the thread but I am shocked and appalled.

Rebecca H of Hulu, please respond and defend yourself.
