I'm reading Kon Tiki right now
as far as human accomplishments go, I think the polynesians are
pretty hard to beat
Dude. I read Kon Tiki fifty years ago, or close thereto. It was a must read at the time. Still is.

This is a commonlyhUnfortunately yes. Colonialism sucks. If it weren’t the US, it would’ve been Japan, China, or some other world power. Which is NOT an excuse for what Hawaiians have experienced, so let me be very clear about that. The geographic aspects that make Hawaii so amazing are also it’s biggest enemy.
I assume you would offer the same ho-hum shrug if the Chinese came knocking looking to be the bosses. "Oh well, everyone's been ruled by somebody. Maybe this will be fun!"Wow. A pedant with bunched up panties just millenialed you into boring the shlt out me.
What do you call a native Hawaiian? Same thing you call a native Californian. A liar who's ancestors came from somewhere else!
(Humans came from Africa and spread out. End of story. Stop the nonsense.)
Please expand- I think you meant to say myth? I don't see how nearly every other patch of sand in the Pacific has had the flag of another country planted on it, so if it weren't for the US, why it would not have been another? Especially a chain of islands that is in the middle of the 2 most powerful continents in the world.This is a commonlyh
I haven't looked, but am assuming you are going hard in the paint on the autonomous zone in Seattle too?Close. Neither were my threads. But every time somebody starts another bullshit thread, like this one where some dumbass thinks he's going to start some insurrection, or like the last one, where Onula says, " fűcken Haole", I'll be right back at it.
what's your take on Native American culture and reservations?First to answer what am I. Ignorant, troublemaker or boto. How about enlightened?
Maybe you just don't know your own culture, full of localism and prejudice. Your post about "fücking haoles" on another thread is what got me started. Other Hawaiians stories of beating up white classmates. I didn't go to school there, so how do I know these stories about "kill a haole day"? You guys told me! You revel in thinking that you are more entitled because of the color of your skin.
I'm repeating, I know these stories because you guys told me.
So here a thread starts about some Hawaiian who wants to take back Hawaii. That's some ignorant bullshit right there. What, you want a civil war? What's the difference between that guy and some southern cracker who wants to rehash the civil war, and fly a losing flag.
You just said, "In a weird way. the complaints all the MAGAs support about those coming from the south and IP theft from china
is the same complaints we here feel about tourists
think about that one."
Yea, I think about it. I think the MAGA hat wearers are stupid. What's your point?
You bitch about today's tourists. Then don't fücking do business with them. Where did we see that before? Oh yea, in the Jim Crow south. Segregated lunch counters. White only water fountains. And you want Hawaiian only surf spots. Hawaiian only islands. Do you have any idea how small minded you are?
Our world is a gift to all of us. Where were you when the world was made? Where were you when the water separated from the land. Did you set the sun in the sky? Who are you to say a place is set aside for people by skin color?
Oh sure, forget about the Menehune!Don't forget that the Hawaiians took the islands from the Marquesans. They were here first. So who should be "pissed?" It's funny how that tidbit is always forgotten.
I love the dry wit of the nordsDude. I read Kon Tiki fifty years ago, or close thereto. It was a must read at the time. Still is.
Uhm yes. I do this for a living.Umm no . As usual you kinda of missed the point.
Grandkids inherit house. Sell on open market for $ 709,990. Local couple scrape up life savings and borrow an amount barely tenable based on local wages. Thendone guvktard from North Dakota who spends 20 hours of his life coding, is still a virgin and spends zero if his wages with local businesses swoops in and offers $200,000.00 above asking price.
He saw an Instagram post by a similar loser about how cool surfing was and decided he’s tired of being a virgin without friends.
Santa Cruz in a nutshell.
Natives got fücked. U.S. govt should go back and honor every treaty they signed.what's your take on Native American culture and reservations?
Your soul is your dignity, and your honor and your life's essence. No man has the right to say another man doesn't have one.No one has a soul. Souls aren't a real thing. Don't let it bother you so much.
Yup! The (international sailors, not only haole's) wanted nookie and booze after there arduous crossing around The Horn. Tired and sunburnt, they were quarantined aboard there ships by the "local" humanitarian Caucausian contingent of Christian's who came to save the heathens of the Pacific. So now it was Portuguese, Spanish, Caucasoids, Dutch whatever sailors against the white christians. Coming ashore the sailors battled the local white & brown police officers, the white shop owners, and the white christians. And in the evening, they stormed the white christian church, trying to burn it to the ground after fueling themselves with the local grog made by the white owner of the local grog shop. And the local brownies, in an attempt to save the white christian church availed themselves, hurling upon the thatched roof trying to beat the flames down to save the white christian church ~ ✌pretty much everything i know about Hawaii comes from Michener's Hawaii. to any Hawaiian who has read it, is it an accurate take?
