Bingo!cp3iverson said:Native Americans have had it the worst out of any race in North America. I like Chris Rock's quote "Blacks screaming racism for everything. Whites screaming reverse racism. Indians arent saying shit cuz theyre all dead! if u think otherwise ask yourself this. When have u ever met two indians? I've never met two indians in my life! I've never walked into red lobster and seen an american indian family chillin out"
I hope more people jump on board with whats going on in ND and supports the Natives
* Edit. Misspelling on my part! I looked it up:
Hear, hear vs. here, here
Hear, hear (usually with a comma and set apart as a self-contained sentence) is the conventional spelling of the colloquial exclamation used to express approval for a speaker or sentiment. It’s essentially short for hear him, hear him or hear this, hear this, where these phrases are a sort of cheer.
Here, here is widely regarded as a misspelling, although it is a common one, and there are ways to logically justify its use. But for what it’s worth, hear, hear is the original form (the Oxford English Dictionary cites examples going back to the 17th century) and is the one listed in dictionaries. English reference books mention here, here only to note that it’s wrong.Post edited by brianlux on"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
True, but it is still a big story. To me, this is an outstanding example of the power of social media vs traditional media. Despite the fact that major news networks are avoiding the story like the plague for the most part (which is sickening), it is a massive story (also, international news networks are covering it. I know the CBC is following it pretty closely). The pipeline protestors have managed to gather up $1M in donations through crowdfunding, and $2M more through other funding streams. I believe there is a protest march happening as we type in Seattle too. The movement is growing despite the lack of involvement from mainstream media, so fuck them, who needs 'em!Free said:With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

I would argue that we need to reform main stream media and do away with it. ORRRR at least teach kids to think critically such that they will learn to ignore the bullshit and let that media die off on it's own.PJ_Soul said:

Better media education definitely seems like something that should be a TOP priority, starting at a young age and going right through high school. It should be strongly worked into all curriculum. I'm not talking about some elective or whatever. It should be an ongoing thread through most subjects, interwoven into how kids learn.brianlux said:
