    I notice you have yet to actually argue my points. I think you're a bit too cocksure of your own opinion.

    Native American people rise up and rebel against your white suppressors who stole your land and killed your children, rise up in a rebellion and regain the land. Lakota is just the first step towards American wide revolution mine comrades.

    Kara has clearly never been to any Native American reservations or spoken to any Native American people there. Native American culture is far from dead. It's just practiced by fewer people and in more modern settings. Native American culture is actually quite amazing. However if anyone would say that about Native Americans, it makes sense that it's Kara.

    Well I have talked to a lot of the natives up in Canada and actually considered going for a sweatlodge ceremony, but that doesn't change the fact that it is dying and has changed a lot. Most natives on the reserve's up here are known for getting fucked up and stealing cars (my step father's car included) and they cannot be chased onto their reserves. Also the native smokes are dirt cheap and everywhere. While rituals and history stay in tact the actual people are veeeeeerrry canadian these days, and are justing using the reserve to live for free.

    Not sure about the more southern tribes though.

    Most tribes are now very modern and have lost many of there roots.

    I would argue that while Native American culture is far from dead, it is irrelevant in most of the lives of those who do not live in the vicinity of the reservations, or have a close relationship to those of a Native background. While this argument does not justify the rejection of the proposal for independence, it does not justify the creation of their independent state.

    I bought some crazy rocks n' shit from one out of her makeshift roadside stand when I visited Arizona. Proof enough for me that they're still kickin around.

    Well ya, they're commercialized. You can also buy a replica sword from the Byzantine Empire from a Greek guy. You wouldn't say that Byzantine Culture still exists because of that.

    You just said you never said you disliked Native American culture. Did you forget that thread where you bashed Native American culture (which you now claim is extinct) left right and center?

    Edit- I also use this thread as proof of Kara's extreme bi-polarness.

    You seem to have a change of heart every time you come on the forums.
