Some women saying that they aren't pressured into it doesn't mean that some women aren't, in reality, pressured into it.

And the brainwashing/reeducation thing is just so way over the top.

I dunno I think I'd forgive everybody for almost anything if they gave me a hundred grand.

Yeah, but you're a whore so

So you're saying that is if I:

• Manipulated you from out of your ancestors lands

• Raped your women

• Forced you into Christian Schools and were told that your beliefs were wrong.

• Sexuallly molested you at these schools

• Forced you onto reservations where drug and alcohol abuse run rampant

• Where (for the most part), gangs run rampant

Then gave you 100 000 dollars, you would be fine with that? Up until 2-3 years ago, the government did not acknowledge the atrocities occurred at these schools. And that had been happening up until the early 20th century.

I may crow about how great Canada is when I compare it to the states sometimes, but when race issues come up, I will be silent because Canada was just as bad, if not worse then our American counterparts.

You can say one thing at least, our countries have treated the Native tribes better than how the Australians have been treating their aboriginal populations.

MORE POTATO CHIPS!
 

and I thought Oppression Olympics was bad.....

I take it it is far worse then the America's?

On the mainland we did all the stuff you did and more. And they still average a life span and quality of life closer to the third world than first. I think I read somewhere they're close to 10 000 times more likely to be gaoled than any other ethnic group in Australia.

Also in Tasmania we actually hunted them to extinction like animals. So... yeah.

Mac I am not three hundred years old so basically I would have to contend with growing up in a third world country in order to get a hundred thousand dollars when like I turn eighteen or something. Seeing as how most people do that without a hundred thousand dollars waiting for them at adulthood I would probably be like "Thanks for the hundred thousand dollars you've bought my acceptance of your crimes"

Also it's kind of inconvenient to shop there unless you live on campus.
 

At UCSC there's a shop called the Kresge Co-op that's usually got a bunch of anarcho-communist pamphlets lying around. Really good customer service, a shame they don't carry any meat products.
