Garry, your all over the place. The topic was residential schools and compensation given to people because of the chaos that went on in these schools. Your going on about reserves and then being .."third world shambles".
I disagree with your view. I believe these people were abused and treated with no equality. What form of compensation is the best i am not sure but i dont think a little money for their pain, suffering and loss of opportunity is unreasonable. a one time payment of 65,000 is reasaonble. Most of us make that in a year. But i do agree with Curly's view that supports are needed to help these people.
Since you brought up Native reserves, i'll throw this question at you...Who was here first...on what is now called Canada.? it certainly was not the Canadian government. Nor the people who built residential schools. The fact remains that Native people were here first. While i dont believe reservations solve the issue, this is why they have given reservations to natives. Your ramblings about a culture of depenency are inaccurate. "Hand out" is what call compensation for years of suffering. That is just ignorant. Perhaps if someone came to your house, kicked you off your land and stuck you in an institution, abused you, and told/enforced you with no rights, then maybe you would see this differently. I am certain that this wont happen with your attitude. I bet you reply that i am just some malcontent person. lol yadda yadda yadda.
i type faster than i think. good to see you back. lol not could and Who would stand up the Puckymster? OMG...have another drink eh. doh Really i have not been drinking. just not enough coffee i think..time for me to get of the computer and get some stuff done. Laters.
hi Angel, 9 years wow...and i thought 3 yrs for me was long. That is awesome your so independant. i think a lady who is independent is an attractive quality. You will find someone who suits you and connects with you. Until such time dont settle for anything less than you deserve. Continue to enjoy the house all to your self. lol
this is a good topic and certainly gets me thinking.
What value can you put on someone's life. Who has been abused for years? Who were limited life opportunities (education, recreational etc to name a couple).
We or many of us take these life opportunities for granted becuae we were not the ones being dicriminated against because of race or disability. Yet some of us take offence to some cash being given to these people for their years of suffering? Why? Are people that greedy?
( i didnt study too much on residential schools but did touch base on it in some social work courses. Most of my study can in the areas of institutions that the government placed people with disabilities in.) Yes counselling support, mental health services etc are all helpful. But many were limited opporutnities that we all had/have.
Some are so old now they cannot do what we were able to do as younger people. I'd same some cash should be given to them. I think baha said 65,000...and 10 g's a year. Thats nothing for what they have been thru. But yes, add and put some supports in place to assist them in achieving a quality of life.
i actually like to pay. Am old fashioned that way. But if we are going out and seeing each other sure she can pay once inawhile.
Many girls think the guy should pay on dates. I have even met friends online (just friends, not a date) who say the guy should pay. Go figure. One lady said to me, "well you pay ...you asked me" ? haha
These ladies are genuine in there responses i believe. but i tell you many would dont walk the talk. Some women think the mans income and career type is impertive.
