"But that's the problem. We aren't "history", we are here in the living presence. We are still defending who we are, we are still Sioux. I am so tired of hearing about the Vikings. Are you a Viking? Have you spent the last 2 years on a boat, burning and pillaging villages? No. I don't know of one Viking, anywhere. I don't know of anyone who wears the Viking horn hat anymore. But we, the Sioux, still practice our culture, the way it was don't 1000's of year before, we still sing the songs our ancestors did. And we are still fighters. I, like many of my Sioux relatives, have picked up a weapon, loaded munitions onto aircraft, or gave the ultimate sacrifice for this county. Yes, countless others have also, but I'm just saying that Fighting Sioux People still live today. Show me a true Viking. Show me a true Leprechaun. Then we we can discuss this in greater detail." This is from the "Irish hostile and abusive thread" post 37. He claims that it's different because there aren't any true vikings left. Well I'm trying to point out that if that's the way he's gonna use that example, well then he's not a true Sioux. I'm saying a "true" Sioux hunted for food and migrated with the buffalo. I'm not saying anything is wrong with him going to college or not being a "true sioux". But he just can't use that example, because it applies to Sioux also.
