The whole "cut them off" solution that has been proposed numerous times is just plain old foolish. And illegal. And impossible. That's it. That's all I've got. I don't have a solution or a sociology textbook. Do you have a solution?

Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go put some tanning lotion on Brooke's thighs.
The point was actually made pretty poorly by the other poster, but at least you admit you've got nothing. Honestly Rouge, do you just post in these threads in order to be confrontational?

Might be nice of you to bring something to the table that at least attempts to address the social problems of First Nations rather than just trying to assassinate someone else's idea. I went after you on that point because you added nothing to the discussion.

The solution lies in the fact that the people who live on reserves have nothing to do, have an income and have poor leadership/role models. I think a full fledged 'solution' to this problem is far too complex to lay out in a single post, but overall, reducing the power of First Nations band leaders by restricting where/what they can spend their money on would be a start, and overall reduction (eventual elimination of segregation of First Nations) and reintegration into the greater society. Government money right now is doing the exact opposite of preserving First Nations culture.
