SeattlePioneer 144 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Excellent comment, qwazse! It's usually worth while to make the point that the real issue is often not the right to do something, but identifying the right thing to do. That's often a far more complex question.

nldscout 18 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am with SP on this. If people do not like that the OA chooses to use Indian symbols and dance, then I guess they can look the other way or go somewhere else. The stuff the OA uses is not copyrighted so its available to anyone. Politically Correct be damned. Link to post Share on other sites
frank10 12 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You know with St pat's day coming up I sure am glad the Irish don't go around whining about every one wearing green and dancing a jig. Link to post Share on other sites

That depends on where you go...now doesn't it? Try your fake Irish accent in a pub in Dublin or Belfast while wearing a shirt with the Union Jack, and "ye might get ye arse handed to 'ya". T'wouldn't that be a sight? Native Americans vs. the Europeons was the first of many Race Wars in the New World.(This message has been edited by Engineer61) Link to post Share on other sites

skeptic 993 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I will throw in on this game. Homo Sapiens versus Homoerectus and Neanderthals. Link to post Share on other sites
Engineer61 19 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Egyptians -v- Israel : Don't see a lot of one culture trying to mimic the other in ceremony on that one. Homo. sapiens -v- Homo. ??? : I don't recall anything in my Anthro course about wars between sub species. But who knows? Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 993 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Engineer; They sort of just pushed them out, either by violence, or some other process. Not a lot to go on back then, except that one supplanted the other. But, based on the differences in anthropological materials, it is pretty obvious that it was most likely a power grab, or isolation from livable territory. Of course, they do continue to discover more and more, though very slowly. Link to post Share on other sites
