There's nothing like a hot metal fire right under your ass. I understand they cannot be extinguished, by conventional means There won't be any remains left in an EV car fire But at least you did protect the environment?

Their skeletal structure is larger and more dense, on average, being born and matured as a male.

It has caused psychological distress/ That's a recognized form of harm these days, as you know. No the answer is not to allow them to mix up. That is what's causing the issue, and there are solutions. In women's sports they are prohibiting transgenders from participating. Tennis champion Martina Navratilova, who is gay, agrees and also thinks having their own category would be the best decision. Anyone can participate in that category, be they male, female or otherwise. World Athletics’ decision on transgender female athletes came Thursday. The organization said it "decided to prioritize fairness and the integrity of the female competition before inclusion."

Sounds like excuses and lies told by Saul of Tarsus, that great romanizer of Christ, whom Peter and James disputed against, who made christianity into a civilized thing, Organized Religion, Christianity Inc. In so doing allowed the Romans to continue their rule, including bringing on the inquisition that you hate, in his name no less. That is the difference.

Thats all good you agree with that, but doesn't refute the fact Jesus kept the sabbath Shabat, Saturday The Romans moved it to Sunday to appease the sun worshippers. Therafter they kept the sabbath for like 1700 years. Now if somebody convinced you that it wasn't necessary anymore, it being modern times and all, I'm ok with that. Not trying to correct you. Just my opinion, if you're a christian should do what Jesus does. Not whats told you, by the son of man. You might be fooled by the antichrist.

It's just one of the ten commandments, which Jesus and his troupe followed. All jews did/do that. Jesus was jewish.

Back on topic. Thank you for giving this clear example of "indigenous knowledge".

He is mistaken about that. It wasn't 1700 years, its an oversimplification. Well like I said no wonder these people cant get their own show together. They hate and accuse one another of devil worship. As we just saw with me. -Denizen of the forum Hades.

No look, I meant the Britons. You know, Darwin? The Anglican church? Just forget it

Yes because the UN declaration states they have the right to protect their information and culture from being exploited. For example if there is a company that wants to open a mine but there is native burial ground there, they are allowed to keep that information secret from the public. Kinda simple really. Nes pah?

Actually the Canadian government fought against the implementation of the UN declaration on indigenous rights, having voted against it. But it passed some years later despite Canada's objections. Perhaps what bothers you is this concept of Indigenous Knowledge. I know, I know. Why did they not also include Christian knowledge.

Yeah I've heard that one. But it's speculation raised by neo-Darwinian, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant types. For further reference, see OP.

Excuse me, but Natives is what we are talking about here. You should take a page from them. I bet they would not agree with you.

And yet, here you are instead. Pleased to meet you

Amazing how a moment ago you didn't know much about him, but now write him off with a paragraph. Not that I am a follower of him, but the point is he and other Christian philosophers wrote ideas that built the foundation of Roman law, the laws of the Holy Roman Empire from which descended our laws today. This includes progressive ideas like women's rights. That's why the modern west is so progressive compared to more backward cultures. Thanks to Romanism.

I think you only need to be like 1/16th native to get your native status. The number of people applying for native statis each year is increasing. Eventually all Canadians should apply for their Native Status Card. Then equality will be reached.

No Tyendinaga is in Eastern ON. Between Belleville and Napanee. Bring yer wampum there...

You are giving misleading information when you tell everyone they must take the bible literally. As well, your message that other religions are false and only yours (your interpretation, not Christianity) is the only one valid could lead to hate and violence. The world's got enough hate already. That is what Pope Francis spoke against when he encouraged dialogue and respect between different faiths. Hell, you guys can't even get your own show together. You accuse me of being influenced by Satan? Hah hah hah. Such judgement. Such arrogance. Not a very good Christian, are you. Maybe not even a christian at all. We get a lot of fakers here... Keep working on it. Why do I get the impression you're projecting an image or a Christian colonialist, whose attitude towards the godless heathen savages is on full display. You're not for real. You are a faker, I say. Or not. Who cares what you are. Actually a lot of natives are Christians, but they probably don't live up to your standards... I indicated it's part of the right to protect land treaties. Actually the answers are in your link where it explains the criteria that natives have the right to give input on.

Yeah well those Mohawks live like kings now, I tell you. I'm not sure if their territory goes across both sides of the border, but in any case they made a killing on selling gas and cigarettes for decades. Now they have weed everywhere as well. The people have figured out how to preserve their native culture. Tax the white man.

Well I heard they weren't that nice to one another. Most didn't live long. Neolithic culture without a written language. As in they had no great book. But that does not mean I approve of the Indian Act of Canada. I may approve of its name... Indians did a good job keeping the Act named that way. No one had the guts to open it up and revise it, the can of worms too deep, and it is now become Canada's undoing. The native tail wags the Canadian dog. They played against Canada in the courtroom of the court rooms, as it were. All nice and legal like.

No way. But if you ever drive through the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, you would want to...

I thought this thread was about the government's inclusion of native knowledge, not the origin of the bible. Bible says Jesus spoke in parables, which indicates they mean something else, and are not to be taken literally. It's also a fact that there are references in the bible from one section to another, and these are wrapped up in the verses, which means you have to read the whole thing to understand what it means, then go back and start over. So to imply that this mystical text should be taken literally seems incorrect. You understate the depth and complexity of Christian thought as studied by great thinkers, Thomas Aquinas et al. Also, Pope Francis encourages greater tolerance and understanding with other religions, including Islam. He encourages tolerance of gays in the church, and gay marriage. So it seems there are differing views within Christianity than just yours, or your pastors. You are giving people misleading or confusing information that may be harmful to them and could lead to violence. Back to the OP, I see nothing wrong with this process. It is part of the changes Canada had to make after being called out by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous. Says so right there in your link. Canada has to honour its legal obligations. There are treaties for native land and fisheries, that Canada must protect by law, and this is part of that process. It doesn't mean there has to be native input on all government projects, but natives are invited to give input, and when they do give input, it has to be considered. But 'considered' does not mean the government has to obey it or do anything about it, necessarily.

Right. Maybe stop ordering illegal contraband and drugs over the internet and getting them delivered by mail.

By the way, Crisis what crisis? What are we talking about here... the latest Cybo-Man action figure bought from eBay?

Maybe you two you should get a private room, hey? That way the rest of us don't need to read your pointless drivel. Maybe get a job... girlfriend,,, hobby other than gaming and annoying mature adults. Always best to arrange the customs clearance paperwork beforehand. It's always an issue shipping things internationally, even when paperwork is properly done. If you can get duty pre-paid you might be luckier. Certain carriers are be-shissen. Canada Post? Bwah hah hah. Even Purolator stinks like poopoo geschmartzen.
