I think you mean not the same thing IMO :P

They dont believe in land ownership. Native americans thought the idea of owning land was silly. So it's not really their land.

We don't live on their land. We conquered them.

Conquering is living on someones land... lol.

It's not their land anymore after it's been taken. :|

l already posted this but I deleted it. I don't want to come off as a racist because im not. This is just a historical fact, okay? In the war between the Native Americans and the settlers, the Native Americans fired the first shots. There were people living out on the prairies that were too affraid to leave thier homes because the Natives would kill them. It doesn't make what the settlers did okay but it was war.

they got screwed over but anyone here that thinks they are part of some magical race of people that have not committed horrendous atrocities throughout history is just a dumbass.

A wise idea that the settlers should have believed in. Owning land is indeed a silly concept.ghoklebutter

To those who don't own land. As with everything else, the have nots think everything the haves value is silly.

Native Americans should give these European Americans a taste of there own medicine Bucked20

Maybe he lives in his car?LJS9502_basic

Man, it's silly that people can own cars. What a stupid idea. :roll:

I have my own property and pay taxes for it, it's my land now. And we beat them in a war, sorry kid but that's how it goes.

As for how I feel about Native Americans, well I feel the same way I feel about any other ethnic group in America, I don't judge them as a group I can only judge the ones I know indivdually and that's based off their personality and values ect...

I will say however that many Native Americans live on reserverations (which are basically 3rd world countires) and live below the poverty line, this is due to the Government however and not the American themselves.

To make matters worse the Government gives Native Americans in many parts of the US a discount on Alcohol (among other things), which if you know about gentics and ethnic groups, some can't tolerate alchohol as well as others, and Native Americans are the worst at that, it's because they produce more enzymes or sugar in their blood or something.

But no I don't hate Native Americans if that's what your trying to imply TC, and no I won't give them any of my land so get over it.

Just move him to NY.

And viceversa. But owning land is a practice barely 6000 years old so it has less history on which to support its silliness.kuraimen

And thankfully it'll never go away.

I've only met two in my life: my best friend's girlfriend and their daughter.

I keep hearing about them at Casino's but I went to Atlantic City in 2010 but I guess I wasn't paying attention cause I didn't see any.

[QUOTE="sonicare"] If you consider that wrong. Maybe it's just human nature? A historical look at man kind shows that kind of behavior is pretty much the norm. Societies have been evolving and developing a code of morality, but it's kind of disingenuous to judge people of the past by our standards of today. Things were much different back then and life must have sucked majorly.Engrish_Major

This is complete asinine, no one who owned slaves is alive today. I can't blame you for something your ancestors did or not, no for the record I am not black nor did my ancestors own slaves, however my point still stands. We can't blame eachother for something our ancestors did, I wasn't there and neither were you or anyone else. It's time to move on, holding onto that is the reason why there are so many conflicts today.

What they did was wrong, yes. But you can't go around blaming people on your problems today for something that happened a long time ago.

The way I look at it, you're in a sense, renting land from the government to live on. But in the end, that land is property of the govt and thus the public. It's a stretch, but it makes me feel better at night.

What if they're the descendant of both Europeans and the natives?

Thanks, because I seriously was looking to spot one... now I know why.

On Topic:

I feel bad for them, because they really got raped of their land and basically killed off.

I'm not picking on anyone, you were implying that we should blame people today, at least that's what it seemed like to me. Sorry I was mistaken.

lol your joking right?

My best friend growing up is half Oglala Sioux. He jokes every now and then about "taking back the land", but it's pretty obvious he's kidding. Though he always gets irritated whenever someone mentions that Christopher Columbus discovered America (and rightfully so).-Toshy-
