Wow, your a frickn genious...no doubt they may have done so, but I guarantee you they had cultural protocol into doing so..they didnt just deficate where ever and when ever

Generally speaking, Indians still have a big chip on their shoulders over our intrusion of "their" land. If you have ever been to towns that have a high Indian population, their bitterness toward visitors is pretty obvious. Other than the casinos, reservation lands are littered with ramshackle houses, and most of the people live in impoverished conditions. They apparently have no desire to improve their life, and it shows in their lazy, bitter attitudes. They get lots of freebies from the government, so they really have no business being so cold toward us.

"being so cold toward us" let me guess, are you being treated as a minority? hmmmm..well don't things look different from the other side of the window, WAKE UP!!

Welcome to the forum, PointbLanK. You revived a 2 year old thread, but the discussion still seems relevant. Since you brought it up, perhaps you could give examples of how Native Americans are being treated as a minority today in a derogatory sense. Do you feel they are being discriminated against?

It's spelled "genius" and it's not like they are taking sewage and just making snow out of it. There would be a massive E. coli outbreak if that were the case. I understand respecting one's beliefs. At the same you have to question a group's position if their beliefs are based on intuition instead of facts.
