indian???

that is wrong!!

the word is indigenous, ignorant reporter..

[alovelytime]

first let me say that i'm sure you're a nice person and that my comment was more to your ignorant mindset on this matter, a mindset that for 500 yrs has led to the killing and suffering of countless millions and the destruction of whole cultures and ecosystems.

in short, a primitive mindset that is akin to the selfish shortsighted whining and bullying of a spoiled rotten fat child who would hoard food and everything to the dismay and horror of his parents and at the expense of his siblings.

Peru has grown at a steady pace of 2%-8% per MONTH!! Under Alan Garcia! I am not his biggest fan, but nobody can deny that he is Helping Peru... he would never murder innocent Natives, the natives resisted and confronted police... everyone lost.. . both sides lost lifes.... but according to people like you natives are correct... whats next? Revolt and throw out the peruvian government so Pery can become a SHitty nation like Venezula, Cuba, Bolivia, or Guatemala???

My posture is the same as the President of Peru, All of the ministers, the President of the United Nations South American Development, same opinion as the Harvard President, same opinion given by the Obama Administration, same posture that any sane person would follow. Those natives need to recap and think of better ways to protest... for now they are simply murderers... they murdered and butchered innocent police officers! What part of MURDER cant you grasp??

[alovelytime]

you and your like are primitive ignorant scum that know nothing of civilized living.

Your comments sound like they belong and support Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, and the dictatorship crowd.... I am a democrat and I believe in Progress for natives and non-natives alike. Unfortunatly the Amazon belongs to ALL peruvians, not only the natives.... my ancestors are Spanish and Italian... we do not own Spain and Italy, we only own our home. Those Native Indians own their pieces of land and homes, NOT THE AMAZON. They are disrupting the growth of Peru, they want to live in huts 4ever?

You are an ignorant racist and justifier of mass murder. Again and again you refused to even ACKNOWLEDGE the massacre of the Indians and only care about the murderers. You refuse to recognize the undemocratic fashion in which the Peruvian state has stifled debate on this issue. You can just repeat the ridiculous lies about "progress" and then slander the private Indian people fighting in the interests of the entire Peruvian working class. You're an ignorant, sick fuck.

Uh.. how do people protest in the US? You are aware of the civil rights movement, aren't you? Do you think people just carried signs? They entered private businesses that discriminated and refused to go when told to. You have no education, you moron. What part of only benefiting a small Peruvian oligarchy & foreign translations do you not understand? What about Mexico & NAFTA do you not understand? Do you know HOW the exploitation of the Amazon will destroy the indigenous community?
