Exactly! Why? Because Jazzo don't give a fuck... Shit, if I was in that position I would probably do the same shit for awhile. The problem is one is at a dead end and won't have the opportunity to move up in the country with that mentality. So it really depends on the individual in that situation. Honestly I would take the free ride for awhile and then make moves to learn the language only to better my living situation. If I was old though when I moved here I would absolutely say fuck it and enjoy the ride!
Yes, seriously.
I'd not only give up my tv, football, movies, the net, but my life, to get the land back. All of that shit is just materialistic shit. Not even comparable to getting what was once ours back.
And I do hunt for my own food. Sure I get McDonalds here and there. But we also hunt for our own meat, too. Deer, elk, & salmon. And I do sleep in tipi's, but only durning powwows.
And go ahead and move to another country, just don't go cause a genocide or anything like that when you arrive there.

I never said they did... the statement was worded poorly, my bad... BUT...the US had a huge influence on a lot of, if not all the things I named...
even if the first TV was not invented in the US... the US had influence on the development of television throughout history, up until modern times
what I originally said wasn't even applying strictly to the US anyways... I was applying it the entire world...
the US isn't the only country that was started over people taking someone else's land... it's happened throughout history, and it led to modern civilization spreading into other parts of the world
my basic point was... would you guys be happier if we took away all the technology that was invented into the US or introduced to the US?
if the US said...
"okay, Native Americans in the US... have your land back! but we're taking everything with us and going to Canada, and continuing our modern developed society up there, anyone who wants to stay here with the Native people, feel free... but you get no TV, no football, no video games, no computers, etc..."
savage said yes... give the land back to the native people and forget about how we've been running our society for 400+ years... do you feel the same way???

The whole "whites didnt learn the native language so why should mexicans have to" argument is fucking retarded.
Early Americans came and took over the land. Right or wrong. They TOOK it. It was theres. They can make whatever fucking language they want. Mexicans are not coming here to take over our land. They are here to reap the benefits of what the early americans built. They arent making a new country.
Maybe if the Early Americans felt that the Natives had done enough and established the country enough they would have kept the native language. Obviously they felt like they could make the country better. And to be honest, they did.
Where would we be right now if we took after the natives?

^ exactly...
that's how shit worked back in the day
the strong imposed their will on those weaker than them... again... it's fucked up, but it happened. not only in the United States, but all over the world! Wars were fought over land... all over the world! If you came out on top... you own that land! People who live there speak YOUR language from now on... was it right? nope... but 400 years later is it all of a sudden time to change things? NO!

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Who knows? Just like who knows how this world would be if what happend in 1492 didn't happen at all?
And why would I NOT feel this way? Do you think I'm glad my ancestors were victims of genocide? That shit was horrible, and wish it never happened. Nobody deserves that. Not Native, Not White, Not Black, Not Hispanic, Not Asain, nobody.
Buuuttt..at least we still have football, tv, internet, movies, and whatever else we can thank you for bringing to the country. You're right, I'd rather have that shit than land that was rightfully ours.

i know this was at Artistic but ok say they do make it where you have to pay $300 a month for insurance. Well after all my bills and shit that I have i barely have $20 bucks a week to spend on whatever I want. If they are gonna charge me $300 a month for insurance they need to drop prices on alot of things so that poor americans like myself can afford the insurance. Until they do that I don't have $300 bucks a month for insurance if thats what the price will be. and since I cant afford i'm going to automatically be fined. That is bullshit in itself to fine someone because they literally cant afford to pay for you mandatory health care.
