This might be a problem for people in the rural areas, but most hotels, schools, restaurants and office building in cities have western sitters and squat shitters both. Most newer apartment buildings only have sitters, not squatters. The toilet paper thing is also prevalent in east Asia, as many of the sewage systems can't handle asswipe properly and the pipes get plugged.

We should all have squatters, much healthier. Surely somebody can build a toilet that flushes but requires you to squat.

Don't know about you but I don't want strangers living in my house.

We're all squatters on stolen native land.

Yet you bitch about having too many brown people coming from Asia and crowding you.

......then bought and payed for many times over.

[andyt]

While I was being factitious, to say we bought native land at any sort of fair price is idiotic. In BC none of it was bought unless you count the few modern treaties we signed.

Really? I mean really? Can you confirm what the correct price for North America was and what we've paid for it?

The correct price was whatever the sellers accepted. Period. At least as far as Canada is concerned.

Everything has two values, a value to the seller and a value to the buyer. It's not the buyer's fault if the seller undervalues his product/property. It's also not the buyer's fault if the seller was unaware of any resource wealth on their land.
The ONLY thing Canada may still owe for is the residential school fiasco. That was just bullshit.

Oh come on that is such and immature argument.

When the buyer literally has a gun to the seller's head it's not a valid contract. It's not like the Europeans were bargaining in good faith and would have all sailed back to Europe if the aboriginals struck too hard a bargain.

And, faulting the aboriginal sellers for being ignorant in European trade and intentions is not fair. For example, the aboriginals had no concept of private property or owning land, and no concept of colonization or reservations.

Also, you've failed to actually recognize what price we bought this for and what price it's worth. Do you even know? Tell me specifically: North America was worth x dollars and we bought it for y dollars, and then tell me why y dollars is a fair number. I bet you can't do any of that.

What we bought it for and what it IS worth today is a fucking idiotic comparison, unless you're going to suggest that the Europeans knew just how vast the resource wealth was.
And since you're so goddam concerned with fair deals, why don't YOU tell us what YOU think the land was worth 200-300 years ago. And then maybe you can explain why when something increases in value after it's been purchased, the new owner is obligated in any way to cough up anything beyond the original purchase price.
