I think we need more eskimos in movies. We're good at something. Honest.

You can call me an eskimo if I can call you a Limey.

These people have lost all touch with reality now in Alaska. They still want to live in their remote villages, but they dont want to live the lifestyle that goes with it. So they bitch and moan that they pay $6 for a gallon of gas, $9 for a gallon of milk, etc. They want roads and infrastructure and airports and sewer systems, and regular flights to support their microscopic communities. I say if their historical lifestyle is dead, and their diet is now white bread and pepsi, they need to get the hell out of the arctic desolation and move to a city.


Sounds very similar to where I come from, except that I would be the one bitching about $9 milk (more like $14 where I come from).

Are they not deserving of the same infrastructure as you? Do they not pay taxes the same as you do?

How very thoughtful of you, I presume of European descent, to bitch about the folks whose land you now live on. Something must be wrong with THEM, right? Inuit were living quite happily before your ancestors moved in. It's kinda like you crashing my party and then complaining I don't stock the type of Gin you like.

'Lost all touch with reality'? That's a bold statement - so bold in fact I think it's worth pointing out to you that the city you want them to move to was built in the very Arctic 'desolation' they call home.

It's definitely not their best work, but I only discovered it last night after some heavy smoking and a few drinks. It has sentimental value to me.

Apparently RHCP wrote the song after conducting a private concert with some other heavyweights (Metallica and a few others) up in Resolute Bay, Nunavut back in 1992. A few people I knew bought tickets and attended.

Some of the lyrics are very poignant - "Desperate and it shows". My home is rife with poverty, alcoholism, etc. At this point I'm rambling so I'll stop. I understand where you're coming from on the screen shot.

Dunno man, I have never been able to justify a song with a screen shot-SO much music I'd love to publish that has no video content-OK...Her's an unsolicited review of the song-Non-sequitur cliche, simple, unappealing melody, whiny delivery. RHCP's have done much better-they lost their steam after Californication-Time for the boys to retire to their life of tours, live shows, and playing the hits over and over to less-than-packed crowds of 30-somethings.....The Foghat syndrome.

In Denmark if you call an Inuit for Eskimo, it's usually slightly derogatory. Most of them certainly don't like it. I think it was norm to call them that like 20-30 years ago, but it's changed to Inuit now.

Ginger is to the rest of humanity as polar bears are to eskimos: They're pale, destructive, and you try to avoid them as much as possible.

Just kidding gingies I loves you all. We're all equal under God's loving eyes.

My Pleasure Throbbin! It's such a cool documentary I had to promote it!

Oh, in that case, carry on.

I piss off people regularly here on the sift, so I'm cautious.

So, Texas eh?

friendly ribbing.

Real insults wouldn't ensue with you unless you started being a real douche. At which point I would tell you so.

In any case, sorry if I offended you.

Someone in RL once referred to me as a seal-fucker. Oh, and snow-ni66er.

Fortunately, in RL you can *beat them.
