I’ll wait for it to come out on video. I am not a big Chris Kyle fan and I’m sure the movie is as embellished, or more so, than the book. Time will tell for me.
It’ll be hard to watch knowing how big of a liar Chris Kyle was…
Native Americans
-
Here in the Pacific Northwest Native American Tribers practiced slavery and valued the life of a human being at one bracelet. Of course in Europe 3,000 years ago a human was valued at about 1/3 of a goat.

"I hope this dosen’t come off sounding predudice, but The situation with “Native Americans” In our country and more spesificaly in my state, annoys me like you wouldn’t belive.
Do they have reservations in Canada? I know they don’t in Mexico.
What a pile of crap! I was born here too, dosn’t that make me a native?
I think that this has gone on long enough the US government should just declare reservations obsolete and treat the tribes like private companies, which is basicaly what they are, and quit giving them handouts and making special rules for them."
I have family in Arizona, ande all Arizonans are such racists! I mean damn, do you see those so called “reservations”? You might as well give them a dumb in brooklyn.
“What a pile of crap! I was born here too, dosn’t that make me a native?”
No, you are a descendent of someone who benefitted from the Spanish, French, and English dudes who killed anyone in their way. Even buffaloes! (those basdtards.)
“I think that this has gone on long enough the US government should just declare reservations obsolete and treat the tribes like private companies, which is basicaly what they are, and quit giving them handouts and making special rules for them.”
Reservations, casinos, and taxless cigarettes are the “compensation” for us raping them up the ass without lubing up (in other words stealing their land and keeping them “down” economically.) Reservations? They should be allowed to have them…they are not worth anything anyway. Taxless cigarettes and gas? No, that only helps organized crime.
I’m one of those guy’s who doesn’t believe in compensation (like money given to descendents of slaves, holocaust survivors, and things of the sort.) The best we can do is move on and not seperate people from each other from what happened in the past.
But why would you take away their reservations? That is the little crap they even have left.

“Even buffaloes! (those basdtards.)”
Ha, this is too great not to laugh at! :lol: But us Americans are responsible for this too. Remember the railroads?
Yeah, I seen the reservations in California. Wouldn’t exactly call them 5-Star Hotels.

Exactly. It kind of sucks that the only way to “make it” is to leave the land and assimilate.

They should just give the buffalo to the diehard NA’s (and there are quite a few of them; otherwise we wouldn’t probably be having this discussion) to hunt and some of the government owned land (which still owns about 25% of all American soil) for them to hunt on.
Come on, we sort of do this for the Eskimos in terms of whaling

No way, set up land so they can hunt a endangered species???
The NA dont need to hunt buffalo to survive.
Can they set aside land in Ireland so my friends and I can set up a feudal society?
Ridiculous!

“No way, set up land so they can hunt a endangered species???”
Hmmm… I wonder why the buffalo became endangered species in the first place? Could it be those evil NAs hunting down the buffalo to near extinction like crazy? Also from what I heard, the buffalo population (though nowhere the size of what it use to be) has grown quite a lot, especially with the domestication of the buffalo (just look at Ted Turner and his Buffalo farms).
“Can they set aside land in Ireland so my friends and I can set up a feudal society?”
Sure if your friends own the land, I don’t see why not. Anyways, I doubt what I said above will be set in stone. Honestly, I haven’t factored in the possible consequences,which must always be taken in accountability (exactly how much land being a big question). But it seems like the only thing a lot of NA’s will accept short of reclaiming ALL of their land back.

It doesnt really matter who endangered the buffalo, the point being these NA wanting a way of life back that none alive today ever experienced.
Its not even close to a practical solution.
To entertain that as a option is just plain dumb. No offence, I mean it as a general statement.If NA want their land and way of life back, which is unreasonable in today’s world, let them come and take it.

“To entertain that as a option is just plain dumb. No offence, I mean it as a general statement.”
Well this is merely a suggestion. But something definitely has to be done about the present situation. I’m sure we can all agree on this.
“If NA want their land and way of life back, which is unreasonable in today’s world, let them come and take it.”
I’m sure even the NA are “civilized” enough to know already that their territorial boundaries won’t be recognized through war.

basically i want to try my hand at making stuff (a smithy) with a sideline job as the doctor.
Being king might be kind of cool, but i want to work with my hands and my mind and not just tax and judge and wage war on people.- lazy crypt

They buy their food, alcohol, and tobacco in stores. They don’t want to hunt anymore!
But give them some better land to farm on!

The “white man” and a couple of black guys too hunted the Buffalo to extinction. And they are not endangered. There is 250,000 of them. Three alone in Zoo America! They are the heaviest natural animal of north america.

man that looks so boring.
i think i’d be a travel guide writer . . . kind of like Ford Prefect in Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . . . i always thought that might be fun if you didn’t get stranded. -
Nye, the Pope works harder then anybody (you know with all the daily religious rituals and the like). How old is he again?
-
I dunno, the Pope has something going there with his own country and all his fancy clothes….
