Yes, how dare people enjoy where they live after working hard and voting for good policies.

Colorado isn’t the same now. So many people moving there that the mountains are now genuinely crowded with tourists. Tourists that use disposable THC vapes and leave them on trails so they can have a drug vacation.

Please no, so many tourists on the mountains that I have to make reservations to walk the Manitou Incline

No, and that was finally removed.

Lol they can pay me the hours I’m on call or leave a voicemail.

No, it’s a dying/dead live service game. Save your money and time

Why would you want to cook without any oil?

Literally look at the highest voted comment in this thread. Comparing a yamurlke to the smallest beanie playing into the idea that Jewish people control the world.

This feels like an antisemitic dog whistle…

This seems like a great idea. I like that it encourages more detail and participation without demanding the information.

I disagree with some communities that will remove posts if they don’t meet a strict rubric of formatted information.

Okay, you got me on Cary Elwes and Billy Crystal.

What race? I’m talking about women’s rights.

It’s not really a free choice if the price of not wearing a veil is child abuse.

So the Italians didn’t build the Colosseum? I’m glad we agree. Mexicans did not build Chichen Itza, ancient Mayans did.

Who built the Colosseum?

Mexicans did build Chichen Itza. Mayans are Mexicans. They still live there. They still speak the language.

This. This right here Squid. You’re being disingenuous and you know it. Mexicans or modern Mayans as you consider them, did not build Chicken Itza. Ancient Mayans did. They are not the same. Mayan culture may live on but, to bring this full circle, Italians did not build the Colosseum.

That’s literally been this whole conversation. Reread your own posts.

Sorry… are you saying modern Mayans are not the same people as ancient Mayans?

For the nth time, yes they are different. You went on a tangent about reservations for some reason but the point remains, ancient Mayans are not modern Mayans. They are clearly distinct but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t attempt to rebuild and preserve the ancient culture.

You are saying that modern indigenous people are not of the same people as their ancestors.

No, I’m saying they are not the same people. They are ancestors.

So why should they be given ancestral land and autonomy?

Because it was brutally taken from their ancestors and caused a great change in their culture, land, and way of life?

According to you, the modern Sioux aren’t of the same people as the ones who were there before Europeans got there, they’re just Americans.

Again this “of the same people.” I’m saying they are not THE same people, they are ancestors.

So why do they get special reserved land and autonomy? Why do they deserve it based on your rationale that they are not the same people?

This is your argument that you’re having with yourself. I don’t know why you’re so hung up on reservations or “deserving” land. The question was, are the people of today the same as the past and the simple answer is no. Time has dramatically changed the language, culture, and borders of these civilizations… Which is why even in your question you had to delineate between the modern Sioux and the pre-colonial Sioux.

I really don’t get what you’re trying to get at with the reservation thing. Please explain it.

Are you making the argument that ethnic Romans should have reservations…?

I was under the impression the reservation system is far from ideal, at best executed terribly, and is a small concession for the destruction of culture hundreds of years ago from colonial endeavors.
