hmm.. well, good point!!

___________________

Well, i may not know the true reason, for i'm not a native, but i will tell you what i think.

The natives (from what i'v read/heard), are very unfortunate. You may think that they get all kinds of privaleges, etc...
but in reality (statistically), they are some of the poorest people.
Federal aid isn't gonna help much.
They don't expect to recieve help, but according to the U.S. constitution, they are also Americans, and therefore, the gov't tries to provide them with aid.

I hope that's what this thread was about, or am i totaly off topic??

BTW, if i'm mistaken in any way, or saying something wrong/not true,
then please tell me, for this is just based on a few vague facts/thoughts...

well, that's because as a whole, they are an uneducated bunch. heh, i'm not being fecesious here, it's the truth. but it's not like they can't stop this cycle, they can stay in school, they don't have to start fights, or live off welfare. i don't blame the government for helping them out, they are humans; they are in need. but for them to neglect their duty to their country and leech off a system design to help out the needy is sheer laziness and trash. now, this sort of behavior is not limited to natives, but a large percent of natives are unemployed or uneducated. unfortunately, they are victims of a viscious cycle, and for that i empathize, they aren't to be blamed for being dealt a bad hand in life, they are to be blamed for not breaking the chain and creating a better life for themselves, and not relying on what happened to their ancestors 200 years ago to make a living.

that's a double negative, proxi.

but it's true that you had nothing to do with, heh. i'm not so sure it was the dutch that did this to the natives, i think it was britain, france and spain. but at least your apologetic. dutch people are too nice.

Yea, you got a point about not contributing anything, but i don't know.
Maybe they have their own traditions, like their ancestors..???
Maybe they don't believe in working for others...??

Anyway, about Holland, I can't wait till i go there, someday....
