+47 Indians shouldn't get special treatment and be able to buy cheaper booze and cigarettes. They lost the battle hundreds of years ago. Get over it, amirite?

Yeaaah noo.. We trespassed on their land, killed thousands of them, brought European diseases to them that wiped out whole tribes. I think they deserve something. The cigs and booze, I don't think that's right, but they do deserve a little something back since we basically destroyed their lands. You must be one of those people who believe everyone who comes in should learn English. We shoulda learned Native American languages then.

People like you give me headaches.

ehhhh, I understand your logic, but, you know, we did pretty much massacre them and take away their land... they're entitled to some rights like land ownership and that kind of thing after what we did to them...

I live on a reservation. I dunno where you're getting your facts, but booze and cigarettes are even more expensive here. We have to pay normal taxes, plus rez taxes. Maybe it's different on other reservations though.

I think it's different for your reservation cuz I live in Arizona and I know people who will drive 30 miles to buy a carton of cigarettes.

Uhm. No.I say if we still have them living on freaking reservations like they're endangered animals or something, the least they could receive is booze/cigarettes/whatever they get. But I doubt they do since Thumper above me says they don't and Thumper lives on a reservation and knows more about them than you ever will. Get your head out of your ass.

Not to be a pain or anything...but I assume you meant Native Americans or Aboriginals and not Indians. Indians come from India,

Christopher Columbus named the natives Indians so that's what I call them. If you want to be all politically correct and call them Native Americans that works too

You do know he called them Indians because he actually thought they were Indians? As in from India.

Because that takes away from their point.

Dont get me wrong though, Natives still get plenty handed to them. Where do you think casino money goes? There's a small tribe in Minneapolis with a huge casino, and they split profits between the tribe members. From what I've heard, they each get over a half million a year! I was just born into a poor tribe haha
