    Two wrongs are almost never equivalent.

    Also you’re incorrect. Suicide is a wrong. Hitler was a wrong. But that turned out ok.

      Some British folks colonized and displaced the Native Americans over 200 years ago. I’m partly Native American myself, but am I all butthurt about it? Nothing I can or even should do about it.

      Yes it sucks, but things that happened decades or even centuries before I was born ain’t my problem. All they’re doing is dragging on more and more death and destruction, and that ain’t right, I don’t care how anyone looks at it.

          I wouldn’t describe it as annoyed, more like disappointed and sad.

          I’m not enough percentage Native American to qualify for their ‘benefits’ of living on reservations. I’m only like 23% or so, gotta be 25% or higher Native American to qualify for whatever bullshit benefits they get.

          And yes I do occasionally keep up with what’s going on with all that, and honestly it really has been disappointing. They never cared about the Native Americans in the first place, and that’s a very sad situation itself.

          I’m a peaceful person. Even if I have angry or upset words, I’m not about to go to war with anyone or any country, unless it’s in self defense.

          Otherwise I would be just as evil as the enemy. Gotta be better than that yo.
