  1. Can you please get back to the topic. Geez. In case you forgot. Colorado's Foundations Built on Expropriated Tribal Lands Worth $1.7 Trillion
  2. Trying to figure out where you are coming from. Comparing Celts to American Indians. Perhaps we should offer compensation to the druids?
  3. Be careful with the cheap Chinese bikes. They break down a lot and the batteries are prone to fires. Get from a local dealer that can repair it if something goes wrong
  4. It's hard enough to deal with issues that happened within the past few centuries. Impossible to deal with ones before that. You didn't answer my question. I'm heading to Wales and Scotland shortly. Would love to know. Just visited Stonehenge!
  5. This is my legacy. My reservation is in Colgate, Oklahoma. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Removal_Act The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law on May 28, 1830, by United States President Andrew Jackson. The law, as described by Congress, provided "for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories, and for their removal west of the river Mississippi".[a][2][3] During the presidency of Jackson (1829–1837) and his successor Martin Van Buren (1837–1841) more than 60,000 Native Americans[4] from at least 18 tribes[5] were forced to move west of the Mississippi River where they were allocated new lands.
  6. Dude. My father was born on the res. My brother works on the res. I've got many relatives living on the res. I'm a card carrying Native American Indian. Geez...know this better than you do
  7. Most American Indians didn't either. But some did. When were the Celtics treated poorly? What century?
  8. Easy to explain but hard for covid deniers to accept Again. Hard to have intelligent conversations with covid deniers. Put up a link backing your statement, or it's not true.
  9. Ummmmm....if you don't get get sick, you are not going to transmit the disease. Especially if your symptoms are mild and the time you are sick is reduced. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2022/12/424546/covid-19-vaccines-prior-infection-reduce-transmission-omicron Vaccination and boosting, especially when recent, helped to limit the spread of COVID-19 in California prisons during the first Omicron wave, according to an analysis by researchers at UC San Francisco that examined transmission between people living in the same cell. The study demonstrates the benefits of vaccination and boosting, even in settings where many people are still getting infected, in reducing transmission. And it shows the cumulative effects from boosting and the additional protection that vaccination gives to those who were previously infected. The likelihood of transmission fell by 11% for each additional dose.
  10. Not going to waste my time
  11. Scientists and medical professionals do.
  12. Perhaps not the best comparison. Treaties were signed and then then broken. The American Indians haven't been treated well. Have you ever been on a reservation?
  13. Absolutely not true. Unless you fall for the dodgy right wing propaganda
  14. You really don't understand migrants nor native Americans. Time to turn off faux News and your other dodgy media outlets
  15. Well. Not being vaxxed kinda wishes death and disease on others. Vaxxed or not
  16. Why is this so important? Bizarre.
  17. The Republican party at it's finest. 😝 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/georgia-2nd-district-gop-runoff-jan-6-rioter-chuck-hand-rcna157221 Hand walked out of a debate earlier this month with Johnson not long after a former candidate in the race, Michael Nixon, brought up the criminal history of his wife, Mandy Robinson-Hand, who was his co-defendant in his Jan. 6 case. As federal prosecutors noted in their 2023 sentencing memo in her Jan. 6 case, Robinson-Hand was previously convicted in 2008 of possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute and use of a communication facility in committing a felony. In his Jan. 6 case, Hand admitted that he "broke off a piece of metal fencing and placed it in his back pants pocket" as rioters fought with police on the west front of the U.S. Capitol. Inside the Capitol, he admitted that he saw rioters fighting with officers and "moved towards the altercation," but that his wife pulled him away.
  18. Again, it's not just dying that's the problem. My young and super healthy friend lost his taste for 2 years and still has issues.
  19. Completely different from what the Republicans are doing. Following a criminal leader and doing anything they can to make the dems look bad. Too bad they aren't trying to make our lives better. I'd vote for them if they did. In the end. Both sides are messed up.
  20. People will die due to covid variants for decades. Just like those who pass due to the flu.
  21. It's called living in a world of conspiracy theories. Believing all main stream media is dodgy.
  22. Better to vote for Biden than the convicted criminal Trump. But neither are good candidates.
  23. The left aren't the ones attacking others and posting fake information on social media. Mostly comes from the far right
  24. If it threatens another or posts fake information harming others, it should be illegal. Social media is one of the biggest problems in our society today. No accountability. Cowards hiding behind anonymity.
