@darius1084 Do you think that native people didn't murder each other for land for tens of thousands of years before any whitey ever made it here?!

@darius1084 If your land is Britain and Scotland, why are you here on stolen land? Maybe we should collectively punish you for the actions of other people totally unrelated to you. Sounds fair... Right?

@darius1084 How is it their land? Did they steal it from other people? How is any land theirs? Unless that's where they were born, it's not theirs. Unless they bought that land. I was born in Canada, but even where I was born is not my land, I don't own any of it. I currently live thousands of miles from where I was born. Does that make it so this country that I pay for isn't somehow mine? Do natives pay taxes for the land? Again, how is the land theirs? But not mine? Where is MY land if the natives think this is their land? Give it up, they lost, they should be happy they are alive. I know I am.

The olympics are stupid. Just another way to take money from the poor and give it to the already insanely wealthy.

@darius1084 Collectivism always leads to collective punishment, just because you don't know that, doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

@darius1084 If they want political power, they will have to fight and die for it; like my ancestors. Political power isn't free. I, personally, don't have any political power, I'm completely disenfranchised, but I still have to pay into that system, I still reap the benefits from our roads and rails and services. No one is entitled to political power for nothing. Respect is earned, not handed out freely. They want political power? Start a political party. Do it like the rest of us have to. No special rules for one people, but not another. We are all equals here, in the name of the law, they should respect that if they want to be respected. Half of our governmental system came from them. They had more power two hundred years ago, what happened? Oh yeah, they lost the war. Deal with it. Germany lost the war, they deal with it.

@Workhardsavemore lol, I read a bit of that, I can't respect your lack of punctuation. I know it's all stolen land, every inch of the planet, that's how we do things here on earth. I don't know why the Natives think this land is theirs, it's owned by whoever owns it. I don't own any land, I'm white, it's not "my" land, but I sure as hell was born here and will exercise my rights as freely as I want to. I caught the last part, if you trust your government to provide you clean water, you are barking up the wrong tree. My grandparents both died from drinking tap water. If you move to a place that has clean water, that's the best you can do to control your own situation. I wouldn't live somewhere that didn't have easily accessible, clean drinking water, that's just common sense.

@darius1084 If you want someone's house and try to take it, don't be surprised if you get shot and buried. No need to alert the "authorities".... In this country we respect the right to own property. Individual rights. Not collective rights, our freedoms aren't dependent on which "group" we come from. They are the same rights for every individual within the borders of the countries that respect and uphold those rights. You should pick up a few books on the subject if you are interested, otherwise you come off sounding pretty ignorant.

@Mowy Wowy Huh? I'm sure you're confused.

@Workhardsavemore Most people that think logically don't spend their time on the internet comment forums, I will admit. But there are some of us. Who else is going to laugh at the idiocy?
