is this whole idea a joke? it sounds like its something designed for 10 year olds. i'll be embarrassed as a caps supporter if something like this ever gets off the ground
dude. i think most people are willing to move past something that happened that long ago. people who just dwell on, and complain about things in the past will never be able to move forward. i just briefly skimmed this thread and by your logic should we shun all germans and japanese people because of what happened in WW2? Of course not, because people are able to move forward and forget mistakes made in the past. society changes, people and cultures adapt. the entire world has been that way for as long as humans have existed. and by all accounts George Vancouver never rapped or pillaged anyone or any culture.... so this argument is pointless.
Oh shit dude, you were just sucked into the Sheik's vortex, get out while you still can! Never come back to this thread! I swear, you'll be forever lost!
this thread makes me embarrassed on behalf of the BC education system. first for whoever is behind this whole ridiculous captain scheme. dress as sailors and fire a cannon? give me a break! and second, for this Shiek guy.... give your head a shake dude! you seem to have no idea what you're talking about.
It sounds like Sheik was educated outside of the BC education system, or at least, augmented his education outside the BC education system. One hopes he's First Nation 'cause then there would at least be some explanation for his viewpoint.
You re-enforce my point! Your "accounts" are written by Euros. Georges pillaging and abuses are not writting about in mainstream publications. Every single one of you that is defending this monster are basing it on BS revisionist history that you run around with like lemmings and take as fact!
The farcical BC Education system is driven by BCTF and NDP agendas; they would never tell the true story of the abuses these "explorers" put on the native peoples.
sheik man is just playing us all for fools!! he's enjoying every moment of getting people stirred up-- surely no one can take this guy seriously and this forum gets all red necks steamed up-- it s a pointless forum thread
You're kidding, right? The only reason any of us are responding to the self-loathing suburban white boy is because it riles him up. We just like poking the ant hill to see what stupid shit he says next.
I find it quite pathetic of you that you blindly believe the BS you are fed in school about GV. This christmas, lets remember the cultures that men like him erased, and never allow it to happen again.
Thanks for proving my point. Speaking of Christmas, you are aware that Christmas is on Dec. 25 not because that was JC's birth date, but rather because there was a pagan holiday on that date. Another symbol of the evil whiteman wiping out a culture for his own gains and you are endorsing it.
Well I sure am! I got a Union jersey! You know, the team named for the founding of the US by European descendants on formerly native land? And it's got Latin writing.
I got a Union jersey, too. Mine is an Authentic, so it was actually made from the tears of butchered Indian children. Mmmm, soft.
you're right about the fact that the education system is controlled by the looney left. normally wacko causes like this that only a very small minority believe in are right up their alley. but the fact that they dont make an issue out of it tells you something doesnt it? your accusations of Vancouver committing genocide are (aside from being nothing short of pure lunacy) insulting. not to Capt George or the 99% of British Columbians who have no problem with him, but to people affected by real genocide.
Arrgh matey. How dare ye awaken me from Davy Jones locker! I could nay sit back any longer and watch me good name get slandered like this by some barmy scallywag. Me and my fine crew never had any problems with the landlubbers you call the first nations. The only people we hate are those wankers from Toronto and Portscum. Them and of course ye olde nancy boy wrestlers from the 80s and their fans!
Umm.. George.. Couple of problems, first, you were an upperclass English gentleman, so I wager you'd be more likely to have an Oxford accent then a stereotypical pirate accent. Second, you died on land, not Davy Jones's locker, so it would be impossible to awaken you from it.
Aye 'tis true, you be a smart lad for pointing that out. But you see all us great nautical men speak the language of the sea and me felt the intelligence level of certain people in this here thread wasnt suited to that of a fine english gentleman. As for Davy Jones' locker, you must understand that after a life dedicated to navigating and mapping the sea, our souls can't escape its allure even after death!
What are you on about?? hahaha....Surely this is just a big wind up and you're having a laugh. Provide some credible proof and sources that Vancouver committed genocide, as that's what you're touting. Before Europeans came ashore, aboriginal nations and tribes here were already doing a good job killing each over the same thing other nations and tribes around the world have done since the dawn of time, past conflicts and territorial aggression. The only difference is they were savage and lacked a sophisticated and technological way of killing each other compared to Europeans.
Thread Closed. It's gone WAY OT. If anyone wants to convince me that it should stay open, feel free to pm me.
