Please Mr. Lawyer, cite me one of those countless examples of a violent revolution that's been legal under the previous government.

The real funny part about this is that no one thought to invite any American Indian lawyers. That might have actually made things interesting.

I want to know what the American's lawyers' counterpoints were. Probably something along the lines of...

"Duh? /debate"

Nah... they were too busy making money hand over fist in their casinos to bother wasting their time on something so trivial.

It was the Brittish which attempted to steal the USA from the Native Americans! The French and the Spanish also tried to do the same thing. The Brittish wanted the Americans to be their slaves. Just like the British tried to steal Ireland and Scotland.

Remember the Tyrany of the Brittish!

Didn't read the thread.

Bottom line? What are they going to do about it now? File a lawsuit and demand the US become a UK colony again? The UK is a welfare state who's military influence is a shadow of what it was even 50 years ago. They aren't a world empire and super power anymore.

only a few tribes have casinos. the ones that don't...well, reservation life sucks.

Yeah... but I think that most of the Indians that grew up in Connecticut reservations are millionaires now. Both the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun complexes are as big as anything in Vegas now.

We can thank all those Chinese tourists coming from NYC for that... Thank you, China!

Well... By British law at the time, it most certainly WAS illegal, I imagine. However, we had this whole "Revolutionary War" thing that caused the USA to no longer be bound by British law. Moot point.

The US should apologize, announce it is a part of the British Empire again, transfer the national debt to England, then re-declare independence.

The way the US throws its money away you may very well have to sell it back to the british but more likely you'll just become part of China in 50 years or so :)

Whatever man, that country is wack.

They send people to prison for burning korans

Fund religious schools including muslim ones...found to be teaching fundamentalist sh*t.

They even now make it so you have to "opt in" to porn to by pass isp filtering.

If you visit any uk board you'd be surprised how much anti american attitude exists over there.

Everything is going according to plan. First, we support some idiot leader of some country full of idiots. Then, a decade or so later, we send them in the direction of the stone age. Let's see... we supported Afghanistan when USSR was smacking them around; look what's going on in Afghanistan today. We supported Iraq for a while... now look. We supported Iran for a while... now look. Hey, didn't we support Tony Blair for a while? Time to kick some ass.
