Maybe they're right.

supichoo		2006-09-14 01:24:38 PM

a couple of cases of booze is all you need to shut them up

Feel the love.

How dare they waste sacred casino land on skiing.

Watchman		2006-09-14 01:40:14 PM

These "Indian" tribes appear to be a threat to the safety of the United States. How dare they attempt to block construction of the Trail of Tears Ski Resort?!

Thank you for your opinion, Chief Runs With Pat Robertson.

... Indian tribes fight ski resort expansion on sacred mountain ...

That has all the makings of a bad 80s/90s movie.
Who's their scrappy but lovable underdog hero who saves the mountain and gets the girl?

It is alot smarter then the reasons we get out of the government.

This reminds me of that South Park episode where they go to Aspen and save the youth center.

/That K13 looked scary.

Did Fred Phelps join the tribe?

A dozen, huh? "Oh, we'll just mention 3 tribes because American Indians all look the same, get drunk and own casinoes, who cares anyway? They're all stupid redskins".

Farking media dickstains.....

The tribes said the sacred peaks' desecration may have caused the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the tsunami, recent hurricanes and the Columbia shuttle crash.

how can you question this flawless logic? Here I was told it was radical islam that was responsible for 9/11 the lying bastards.

I believe 'em. Better explanation than the experts are giving us on a few of those. Hey-oh.

Indians are fat... they aren't built to survive in 21st century america. Its the process of evolution, the strong survive, and they aren't doing so well. Might as well let em die, their genetics just weren't ready for alcohol and mcdonalds.

Badafuco		2006-09-14 04:50:19 PM

FTA: "A federal judge ruled in January that the tribes "failed to present any objective evidence that their exercise of religion will be impacted by the Snowbowl upgrades."

Ha ha! Suck on that Chief Double Down!

As a partner in the Crazy Horse Ski Lodge, Brew Pub and Spa, I categorically deny that having nubile ski bunnies and fat white guys from Phoenix skiing down this mountain desecrates it, or demeans anything those savages hold dear.

tweekster		2006-09-14 04:51:26 PM

What I find funny is the US seems to be one of the few countries that pays mind to the original inhabitants. Throughout history it is basically "we invaded, now we own this land, eat it"

I thought it was the gays that caused all that. That is what the TV told me.

Jument		2006-09-14 04:53:08 PM

I thought this was one of those goofy headlines that just made shiat up about TFA. Imagine my surprise:

The tribes said the sacred peaks' desecration may have caused the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the tsunami, recent hurricanes and the Columbia shuttle crash.

AmberWolf		2006-09-14 04:54:55 PM

Maybe if they hadn't lost the war we'd care more.

/Indians? Who cares?
// Americans are so ignorant, but then again so are people who say Sept 11, a shuttle crash and a hurricane all came from ski resort improvements

phatface		2006-09-14 04:55:30 PM

dem hills are like holy, man

jjorsett		2006-09-14 04:56:31 PM

We had something like this happen in California. Some tribe got all upset about development on some land adjoining one of their 'sacred' tribal areas, and they managed to get it killed. Then a year or two later, they built a casino on their 'sacred' parcel.

i think the spirits envision a casino up there

If they had that much power over the elementals you'd think it'd be harder to kill most of them and take their shiat. Drink some more fire water, Tonto.

modernlover		2006-09-14 04:59:35 PM

say what you want about germans, but at least they recognize the holocaust their government perpetrated and educate their citizens. yet the suffering of native americans is rippingly funny. well done

ToxicMunkee		2006-09-14 05:00:07 PM

Man, it's a good thing there aren't Neanderthals wandering around demanding their land back and stuff. Wouldn't THAT be a mess!

Adjust to change or become obsolete.

"Not a small number of tribes-including at least one in Oklahoma- are breathing a sigh of relief after a proposal to limit the so-called practice of "reservation shopping" failed to pass in the House of Representatives.

Indian gaming interest groups like the National Indian Gaming Association also opposed the move.

The bill would have amended the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 to eliminate an exception that lets tribes build off-reservation with approval from the secretary of interior and the host state's governor." -NativeTimes.com

so it's not ok to ruin the mountain, unless it's got a casino on it?

got.loki		2006-09-14 05:01:13 PM

let's all just get out the pipe, smoke a bit, and talk about it.. why it always has to go to court? ...*cough*here*

Dumbass: Well you just take this cream and......

Indain: DUMBASS!!!

AcornMan		2006-09-14 05:02:14 PM

I bet they wouldn't be objecting if the plan was to build a casino.

Pat Robertson's an injun?

Le Roi en Jaune		2006-09-14 05:02:41 PM

Sure we laugh at them for now, but just wait until 2012 when they perform the ghost dance that starts the Awakening and then use their magic power to form the NAN. It won't seem so funny when the Pueblo council is fighting Aztlan for Arizona.

Who are these indians to trifle with the world-renown downhill skiing industry of Arizona?

Snowbowl is only open 2 weeks a year.

You know who he is and what he's gonna do just for the hell of it. He's gonna take his right foot, and he's gonna whop you on that side of your face. And you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it!

Bullcrap, everyone knows the government orchestrated 9/11.

Irregardless		2006-09-14 05:08:11 PM

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that Indian tribe
Think they'll stop that t-bar ride
Anyone knows a tribe cant
Stop a snowboard face plant

But they've got high Hopi-s, they've got high Hopi-s
They've got white buffalo pies, in the sky Hopi-s
