I'm willing to hand the land back and become a respectful citizen of whatever country it would be, but my government won't let me.

Not exactly your land to give. If you want to give your house to some native guy, sure.

What's the statute of limitations on claims of land theft? I think I might be entitled to most of Austria.

I was always told native peoples have no concept of ownership...
LizardEnterprises
Was that before or after they were saved by the Lone Ranger and celebrated with much gulp of firewater?
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Let me guess, the society that taught you that owns the stuff they used to, right?
SuperFuzzyNipples
I think that depended on the tribe

That's a bit agressive just for someone trying to do small talk

Not even close. Not all casinos are on native land. Well it is depending on which way you look at it.

Some of the council's would like you to think that. Not all tribes are being treated the same.

Mwahahaha, seriously?

No. They don't transport soil internationally.

My bag of peat moss from Canada says otherwise. It's even got a maple leaf and fancy French words!

Peat is not soil.

No, too expensive to transport.

I mean, having a pre-prepared response to if someone asks you a question isn't that unlikely. I often have a few jokes up my sleeve.

Shh, no one on imgur thinks it's possible to be clever, everyone's just as awkward and anti social as they are

I always think of it like: if I got a good laugh or a chuckle out of it, then what's the harm even if it's fake? We come hereforfun,don'twe?

Doubt I'll get a response, but what's the cut off for claiming your land when it gets taken? Billions of people in history would like to kno

What is funny is how long people commented on this... all you have to do is pose a simple question... when was the germ theory adopted?
