Americans and Australians are not true natives
Yes we know, stop acting like they ruined your life, because i can guarantee that if the British didn't Colonize either of those countrys (and if No other Empire did) You, both Native Americans and Aboriginals would still be living in your Hunter-Gatherer lifestyle, if All the Non-natives destroyed everything and left, you'd be hating your 'Originial' life. |

It would get difficult, especially in winter months I guess, but Inuits are used to that sort of temperature? I see where you're coming from though; you're not always guarenteed a meal. *playing didgeridoo like an aboriginal person* |

Inuits are naturally quite stocky, not fat just stocky, i'm a bit stocky but anyway we are used to the Cold, but Inuit life is Extremely hard, seal hunting especially, Seal is the Main scource of food.
Traditionally, Inuits would wait by a seal breathing hole for hours on end, standing perfectly still until the seal came up to breath then they'd harpoon it (My family still do this)
But now, many of us Greenlandic Inuits use Rifles (I live in Iceland with my brother and i spend alot of time in Greenland with my Uncle ) and go hunting from boats. |

| It would be easiest probably to be a native American, there you can be in many environments. |

I personally prefer Inuit culture to Native american culture. I'd rather live an Inuit life than a Native American one...
Inuit life i find alot more with Nature, i follow Inuit beliefs, traditions and I celebrate days of Sprititual meaning with my family. |

| I guess it really depends on which country you're born in. We can safely say, I guess, that all spiritual cultures like Inuits, native Americams, Aboringinies are more civillized than people today in a way. They're at one with nature really, running happy communities where they've been brought up not to be savages, but to appreciate the food they kill and things, and don't take it for granted. It'd be more civillized to kill an animal for food, as it happens in nature, than kill one another in a big city. It was obviously that animal's time to die, whereas with humans, they might be killed for nothing. |

| You know, saying that has completely changed my view, i guess living in a more Spiritual society like the Inuit societies or Native american life would infact, be much better to the world |

I love my familys ancestory and everything, i have been taught survival since i was 5, (I'm 15 now) I've always wanted to live like my ancestors but i couldn't see myself doing it, i might give it a try i know plenty of people who live like that. :)
Yeah, i believe anarchists have it right, living in societies like that, were your with nature is the way to go. |

> In my ideal world > ideal
But this isn't your "ideal" world. We have to be realists. I can say my ideal world is made of cupcakes and nobody has to work, but that doesn't mean I should try to make that come true in the real world. |

| And tribes such as Aboriginies, Inuits and Native Americans are still around today, striving. They still would, had the people who colonized these countries claimed the land as theirs, even though land belongs to no one but the earth. |

Mid, I presume you were born in a City, or somewhere that does not require Hunt or die Work or if you have even been hunting before
It's very hard to take this thought seriously if you haven't experienced anything like that.
However it's my ambition to live as my ancestors did. |

My veiw
'Inuits, not eskimos, i personally took offense to that you know, with me being an Inuit anyway my View is that, societies such as Inuits, Aboriginies and Native Americans lived with Nature with a System that worked, Hunt, don't Damage Nature too much etc
Nowadays, Greenland for example, is still a Hunter society and is one of the Happiest countries in the world, it's capitalist Btw, in settlements like Ittoqqortoormiit, People still hunt to eat and everyones happy there, i know because half my family lives there. To sum it up i believe the world would be happier if we lived that kindof lifestyle and would work better |

And since when has Street like Inuits because they "look cool"? He's from an Inuit family, it's natural for him to want to live like that. |

| I've had a debate with Mid before about capitalism, and he wouldn't think of any other way to think but capitalism. You don't see people directly flaming all capitalists,so why directly flame someone who's an anarchist like myself, or someone who likes their own culture, like Street? |

1) You say Greenland is one of the happiest countries? It's a frozen island. If you mean Denmark, which yes is a capitalist nation that rejects Inuit beliefs, it's number 6. Greenland may or may not be included in the Denmark entry, but I'd lean towards no.

2) Maybe some people are happy living in some hippie commune in the tundra, but some people like their plentiful food and technology, thank you very much.
3) How is it racist to call them eskimos? That's what I call them all the time. It's not like I'm calling black people, you know, the n word.

| Mid, you'd rather eat the processed meat (and fruit and veg) that the government give you? Be uncivillized in your attitude? Be lead by one person who probably doesn't care about the country's views? I'd rather eat food where I know it's come from, not by some advert showing me that this pig came from a farm rather than a science lab which I'm supposed to believe. I'd rather live without technology, technology advances everyday, and mind control is well within the vicinity, and we don't want that, do we? Don't we want people who are responsible, elected publically by your tribe and will step down if needed to as your leader? Tribe leaders are only very respected people anyone, they're not like a president. |

Actually, it is like calling Black people the N word, Inuit is the term for it, do you know what Eskimo means in Inuktitut? (An inuit language) It means Rejected or Outcast, i took offense to that.
Greenland IS one of the happiest countries in the world, it's in the top 20 in the world Index, Happier than the US, UK and most European countries.
Hippy lifestyle? I prefer my life than living in a city poluting the world, ruining it and Causing war, submitting to an Opressive government, you live your life in the city, i'l live happily where i am. |
