umm. no.. the land is not theirs, it has been claimed by the british empire, and later became the commonwealth of canada, later to gain independence as the sovereign nation of canada.. the land belongs to the democracy we are all a part of.

grow up. and learn how world politics work. once a greater power seizes land, whether it is through a monetary purchase, or military invasion, it is their land.

 

how can the land be theirs if it was stolen from them 200 years ago?

you can't inhale gasoline daily and expect to be wealthy and successful. nor can you run around shooting arrows. until we give the mountains back to the ninjas, the natives don't deserve jack all.

The only kind of stealing I see is my tax money going to people who don't deserve it.

They are a bigger drain on us than Newfies who work in Toronto for a few months, go back and sit on welfare for the rest of the year.

land belongs to the one with the biggest and smartest military.

 

yeah, so my brother was a roadie on for a tour and they played on a native reserve they were hired by a native to play on. They didn't make money, just did it for the experience.

1. kids all over the place drunk and smoking
2. kids told them to swim in this small lake, when they showed up the next day these old men nearby said "we'll kill you if you swim there"
3. the reserve "officer of the law" who was hanging out said "i won't stop them.
4. they would not be served in the general store for natives because they were white
5. a lot of people ignored them and made it obvious they didn't want them there.
6. there were roads marked "natives only"
7. they were there essentially playing for free for a 16 year old kids birthday.. they weren't there causing trouble

I find a cop saying that he won't stop murder because white people are swimming in his sacred lake that's okay for natives to swim in absolutely unacceptable.

I wonder if they could have bribed a native to kill them for a bottle of rum or something.

**** them and the moronic canadian gov't for allowing this kind of bull**** yet claiming to protect your rights.

a native reserve cop who looks out for the natives only is like hiring a crack dealer to patrol the streets in a bad part of town.

 

haha....okay.....I would comment but it's not worth it.

When you learn how to properly conjugate sentences, then we'll have a meaningful conversation.

 

Sentences are not conjugated, verbs are.

I suggest you learn the basics of grammar before you attempt to enforce them.

Please advise your reasons as to why the disputed land belongs to the natives under Canadian laws.

 

gotta love when ppl can rebutle .. the next best thing is to pull out the spell/grammar check ... its a damn forum ppl not a university essay RELAX ! lol

 

there is no space between a word and an exclaimation point.

 

Hypothetically speaking, if my ancestors owned slaves, am I automatically entitled to own slaves? Or is that a ridiculous question, much like the statement that Natives own the land because they used to own it hundreds of years ago?

 

so u are smart...just wanted to see if u would actually catch that...and no it's not a scapegoat to show that I f*cked up with improper word usage...it was intentionally done

my reasons?

Same reason as I sympathize w/ Palestinians...it's their land and yet they are treated as trash....

I just think ppl are owed what belonged to them...that's all. And if we are not going to give the land back...then we shouldn't complain about giving them some benefits that normal citizens are not eligible for....im all about an egalitarian society however in this case we have to note that we truly will never acheive that....

 

Very well. Then you must also sympathize with the **** movement. They only tried to get back what their pure race was entitled to.

 

If slavery was still around, then maybe you would be entitled. Thats the difference....since we still live in a time in which this conflict is on-going, we have to compromise. Slavery was abolished and ur statement would be accurate if it existed now.

 

what in ur opinion was the **** movement trying to reclaim?

what is it that they feel they are entitled to?

 

*oh snap~!





ok then well just like all those who are all for kyoto and ending the 'global warming crisis' should sell their houses and move to a shack somewhere and live off solar power, perhaps you should start by giving your land / condo (whatever) back to the natives... it would be a true gesture of how strongly you believe in the words you're typing here...

lemme know when that happens.

till then - you're benefiting from land (that you claim does not belong to you either)... essentially being just as corrupt and whatever as people were 200 years ago..

 

I see that you are not accustomed to answering direct questions in a conscise and relevant manner. Arts degree?

Q1: Under Canadian Law, what rights do the Natives have to the land they either sold, gave up, or lost in the past? ("feeling" bad for them is not an acceptable answer)

Q2: Are you a general sympathizer of those who are trying to reclaim what is theirs? (i.e. Natives, Palestinians, Aryans)

Once you answer them, you may ask followup questions.

 

^^ hahah oh man i'm dying here... Arts degree... bwahahaha...

no joke tho the same thought crossed my mind...

 

ok ... lets say for arguments sake .. these natives get back this "land" then what ? they gonna ****in setup shop .. sell cheap ciggs in stalls and setup some teepee's .. cmon ... this world is revolved around money and they contribute $0.00 to it .. so pffft ... why dont they go claim king & bay ?

 

Arts degree.... Learn to practice what you preach....a question was asked and you answered it w/ another q...so why don't we go back to the original q...what is the **** movement trying to reclaiming?

I asked a q in response to ur q b/c I'm not too familiar w/ the issue...enlighten me

 

On a serious note.....do u even have a degree?

 

everyone is missing the pt i'm making

Im not saying GIVE THEM BACK THE LAND....im saying we have to respect their heritage and respect the fact they are entitled to certain privileges we are not (less tax, free education, and so on)



lunch time!! be back in an hr....gotta put food in my belly

 

On a serious note I actually do have a degree, and it's not an arts degree either



oh and soon I'll have two degrees... so then i'll be able to put

lol
