Therein is part of the issue...the thread was about Hawaii.
I miss numbered the post in question.
Post #11
"They have desecrated the land of the Native Indians."
Native Indians? In Hawaii?
I never noticed.
Your post, #16 (my bold), in response to #11 above by skip_intro....
"That is because the people had mass genocide waged against them, and now they suffer from the Tourism industry.
By the way: In all the Islands I've been to, The native people LOVE the tourists. Tourism is their livlihood. My sister was amazed because she was shown a video in one of her College classes on how the natives in one of the Islands we visited were oppressed and how WE (the tourists) killed their farming industry. Turns out- when we spoke to a native- IT was their local independent government's corruption.
....is written in such a way that would have lead any reader to believe you had visited the Hawaiian Islands, and you were writing about them.
On the other thread you indicated you had only visited Mexico, then later changed to day that you had visited Disneyland(World) and other places in NY state.
When I called you on your post today you again changed your story to add that you had visited Jamaica and the Florida Keys.But not the Hawaiian Islands
Do you see my dilemma?
You are not old enough (per your home page) to forget there thing.
Either you are not who you say you are.
Or you have a problem with determining fact or fiction.
Or possibly you are embellishing your life experiences in an attempt to give more weight to your opinions.
It's not about liking or disliking you, it's about the trust you establish in your relationships.
IMO, Honesty is the most important character trait of all.

Furthurmore, The natives LOVE Tourists just as the Native American Indian loves the people who frequent their Casinos. And yet here's Ward Churchill still complaining.
