I figured it would give you reason to love the pagan American Indians of yesteryear even more Art.
Well, captain closet case, you "figured" wrong, but no great shock there though eh?

The treatment of aboriginals in the Western Hemisphere by Europeans with their so-called "Judeo-Christian culture" was hardly an glowing example of Christian charity.
The reason that Europeans resorted to importing slaves from Africa was that the vast majority of American aboriginals died from disease and many of those that remained were worked to death by their Christian "masters."
Whats the difference in buying recourses from a foreign country or letting one mine our recourses on american land and then sell it back to us? (hint both wrong and shouldnt be happening)
I agree; how about letting Americans do the mining and drilling on American soil and not be dependent on foreign countries?
Fine by me, provided they aren't stealing the land they do it on. Does it bother you even a little that they cant even own their own land?
American Indians never owned any land to begin with, they were for the most part nomadic. The land we're talking about I believe was given to them through a treaty.
Again, I would like to see the whole reservation system and Bureau of Indian Affairs demolished and encourage our brown brothers and sisters to assimilate into a Judeo-Christianized America.
Which is what was happening before they were forced onto reservations
and denied human rights.
They still do not own the land even on reservations and the us government and state governments still keep going back on deals and stealing even more of the little they have been given to use, it still doesnt belong to them. They are not allowed to own land, did you know that? Even land where they have casinos doesnt belong to them, its always land bought by others in trust for them.
So is the US government holding that land in some kind of trust?
For "aCultureWarrior" to itemize the cruel treatment that one African tribe inflicted on another misses the point.
True Christians would never have created a market for slaves, designated certain groups as inferior based on the color of their skin or profited from their misery.
yes, and takes more of it back all the time. That ok with you and tell me why you would develop and farm land that could be take back from you at any time on any government whim?
All the more reason to demolish the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the reservation system.
I agree, they(the Indians) should own the land and this wouldn't be an issue.
As individuals or as a tribal entity? The tribal mentality has been destructive to the American Indian.
You might find the history of the American Indians "two spirits" fascinating Art.

I think the family dynamics you must have grown up in were truly alarming.How about we put things in real perspective and you admit that you couldn't care less about the American Indian's take on this, and that you're yet another granola crunching-tree hugging liberal that hates any kind of drilling or mining on American soil and would rather see the resources that we get from the earth here in America being imported from foreign countries?
I think the family dynamics you must have grown up in were truly alarming.
...and if you are in love or married, I shudder to think how you and your partner solve conflict problems.
The name-calling, labeling, generalizing and the underlying hatred for others is astonishing to me.
aCW, please answer ths:
Do foreign McCain funding buinesses have more claim to that land than the Natives that live there?
Does a once nomadic population that was placed on reservations and decade after decade given government handouts by white guilt ridden liberals such as yourself which amongst other things caused excessive alcoholism, broken families and kept them enslaved to big government have claim to that land?
You're speaking from a moral perspective, not legal, because obviously there were some legal technicalities that said otherwise.
When it comes to morality though, you and the author of this thread have little to none.
