Thread Name: BS: Should Secessionists be Deported?
Subject: RE: BS: Should Secessionists be Deported?
When ya start arguin' over who was in livin' some place first the argument can go on forever, and it don't prove nothin'. People been migratin' all over this world since before the dawn of history. The point is, who is livin' there now. Anyone who is born on a piece of land belongs there...plain and simple. It don't belong to some bunch of dead people from thousands of years ago...it belongs to everyone who is born there NOW or is normally livin' there NOW, regardless of which cultural group, ethnic group, religious group or species they belong to...and they all oughta be willin' to respect each other, get along together, and share the land they are livin' on in equality and in peace.

The people who don't got normal rights there are people who come in with force of military violence and invade the place...NOW...not several hundred or several thousand years ago.

Main point: you can't use dead people outta the past to claim a piece of land now and you shouldn't punish present day people for the sins of people that are long dead.
