im a neutral bystander in this debate. but i honestly think the only way to claim either side a winner is with an old school duel with pistols, just for the irony.

I find it hard to be neutral on a constitutional right.

All the normal buzz words. Better living conditions including clean running water. Yes surprisingly in a state like New Mexico it's a big deal.  Thanks Texas...

Jobs. Education. Better health care, especially mental to help to curb the rampant suicidal rates and alcoholism.  Yes living in absolute poverty and squalor with no hope of improvement while others in the same country live an entirely different life has an affect on morale. Somehow convince those some of more productive members to stay and help build and not run at first chance. Better organization for seek out equal representation from the political bodies.

Realistically though, not much. I could do a lot more but that side of my life has always been taboo since my dad skipped out almost immediately.

 

Does the monthly money help much?

I would be in favor of spending to build up the infrastructure at reservations.  Another question is whether you believe reservations are good/not good or are what they are.  Not the history of them, of course being forced to live in one area after being murdered, raped, and forced to leave where you do live is about the worst thing ever.  But now, good or not?

Clearly not too much. But I guess it beats starving.

I can't see taking away the idea of no longer being a sovereign nation becoming popular.  But I'm not sure how to reconcile that with becoming more than 2nd class at best citizens.

[mtangelsfan]

That is the issue I see as well.  Would there be a better way to use the funds of the monthly checks?  

Do you see any hope at all?

California sucks, we could give you that.

Is the money they're hauling in from local casinos making much of a difference for the tribes involved?

[Amazing Larry]

This guy says "yes".

No, not really. Most of the money goes to the corporations that lent the money for the casinos to be built in the first place.

I like the term second ammendments

In suburban Washington it's called shocking but in Chicago it's called just another Saturday.

Crazy how torso is about even with head shots. Sounds like the shootings are done pretty much up close.

LOL. I'm convinced Nate is just trolling all of us. 

Seriously. Just hanging out today and was doing some reading in this thread and am ready to throw in the towel with this post.

This is just out of hand. I don't get the kick or passion to be a one man army taking on everyone like Lifetime used to. No one ultimately cares or is going to change their mind or stance through these forums to put so much energy and time into arguing.

 

On a side note, Ten Ocho's stories are pretty gnar. I had no issue with the live leak video until they showed the little dog and I instantly clicked out.

Was within baseball throwing distance of a shooting on Saturday night. Had to hit the deck, hide behind a chair, and wait while about 20-25 shots went off. That's two in the last two years, four total in my life, not to mention one close call with someone accidentally discharging a weapon very close to me. I don't feel like this is normal for people in other modernized countries. I don't know if I have any solutions, but I have to conclude it's a problem we need to take some kind of action on instead of just throwing up our hands and saying "What can you do?"

[Jason]

4 times? I've been around guns my entire life and have never been near a shooting (that I know of). I avoid shady things like clubs and parties so that may help.

I've never gone out of my way to find any trouble, and I've never been directly involved with a shooting. It's just been wrong place/wrong time with all of these. The place I was at on Saturday night I've been to probably a hundred times before, and I've never seen so much as a punch thrown there. And I still haven't. This was overspill from a really disreputable club that operates across the street from this place. I've never been to that club, but a couple fucktards thought it was ok to take their issues into a parking lot right outside the patio I was on and threaten my life and several others over whatever bullshit they decided was important enough to shoot at each other over. And fuck them for that. I get what you're saying in terms of avoiding shady places, but my behavior and my choices were not the problem.
