You don't see scandinavian american protesting outside Vikings Stadium (unless they are from wisconsin). You don't see us complaining about the S-3 Viking?


Bitching about past wrongs done to your ancestors as if they had been done to you is just pathetic and self destructive.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

:lol:  It's still being done to them.  Go visit a reservation sometime.  They all don't have casinos.  America's poorest 1% live there.

Who's doing what to them? Are they forced to live on the reservations?

You can lead an Indian to firewater but you won't have to make him drink.

Are there a significant number of American Indians living on reservations with no public transport?

The Indians are just another kind of rural poor.  Their situation isn't special at all.

Never mind the lack of employment opportunities, but at least rural poor have the ability to actually own property.  Indian reservations do not allow for property rights.
