You also don't understand how language works, Poochy. Murder is murder whether you have one or ten.

But your, not just you, biggest mistake is how y'all are ignoring the wider implications of what genocide actually encompasses.

If Steven Hawking thought 9/11 was an inside job i would happily call him an idiot, guess what i think about your nonsense?

Not an unanticipated response shall we say.

No doubt, seeing as yours was so enlightening, i do enjoy that you think you're smart though, keep that chin up, confidence is everything they say.

Already confused hey. Here ya go:

Let's test that. If mandatory attendence means all must go then what percentage of kids would that equal?

It doesn't matter what percent it was. A botched genocide is still a genocide, just as a botched bank robbery is still a bank robbery.

It is quite apparent who is confused. What percentage of all is it you dont understand. Although that has little to do with the discussion, I fear for your math skills.

Just throw out the number. I'll give you a hint...since its a percentage it is between 0 and 100. No go...

So is anyone going to explain why if Canada had the intent to exterminate native people that we only managed to kill 4% of the maybe 33% that were kept in custody? Or maybe we can stop bastardizing the word genocide now, and also accept that most of those children weren't intentionally murdered.

Ah...you do see my posts. I thought you couldn't respond to my request as to why you continue to use the UN definition for genocide when the UN itself hasn't declared it one.

Btw...the 30% matters because it shows that it wasn't manadtory across Canada. Also it shows that not all natives were affected by it.

I'm with you in that

I based my estimates on enrolment reported by the church:

Anglican (25% of the schools) 100,000 enroled

United (10% of the schools) no report

Catholic (65% of the schools) no report

So somewhere north of 300,000.

Ad of course the naysayers will play games with some nonsense about percentages in a feeble attempt to blunt the reports findings as to the intent of those schools. Oh well, twas ever thus in such situations.

Still guessing? I'll give you a hint. It has three digits

But you're not addressing the issues, just as you are not addressing the actual descriptions of genocide.

So you're guessing there were 300,000 enrolled when even the TRC says it was 150,000. Hilarious

What enrolments would you estimate from those numbers?

Yes, sometimes governments lie.

Hilarious.

There is no issue, it has been explained, 4%, of 33%, of just the children, most of whom were not intentionally murdered, is not genocide, it is not "A botched genocide", it is not a cultural genocide, becuase there is no such thing, no attempt was ever made in this country to exterminate our native population. We know this in part because in other places it was done, and successfully, what happened to those kids was wrong, but it wasn't a genocide of any kind. By your measure of genocide, it has happened everywhere, which both diminishes the meaning of the word and the suffering of people who have actually experienced it.

Im going to stop replying to you now because i believe you are only a troll persona with too much time on their hands.

So in your view, the abuse of, somewhere between 150,000 and 300,000 children is hilarious. OK.

Who said it was ok? Go ahead though, this is the next step in your, im cornered argument tactics, make up other peoples arguments for them, it isn't a genocide. Not by any rational measure.

The numbers have already been laid out and even accepted by the TRC. They line up with my cited quote of 30% of all native children attended. Not 100%. So keep making up numbers like you're making up genocide definitions.

No kidding. The one thing I'll give jacee is she at least presents links and numbers. All you get from this guys is peanut gallery comments. He really is a waste of time for any real debate
