[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entire country is on stolen land.[/quote]

Not manhattan, we bought it for seashells![/quote]

Even Manhattan.  The Native Americans thought it was more or less a lease and the land would be returned.

BS.

I am going to need to speak with a Native American Canarsee Tribe chief in 1626 before believing your self-serving and twisted narrative.  Can you arrange that?

NYC was purchased fairly.  End of story.[/quote]

And you can prove the Canarsee understood land deeds by going to the Canarsee courthouse and researching legal conveyances from the 15th and 14th centuries.[/quote]

The time within which they could quiet title in their favor passed some centuries ago.  That history is a footnote, of no practical significance or consequence.  Real estate transactions now follow modern legal frameworks, and title to land can either be challenged or it cannot.  If not, blathering about who used to own it is just so much hot air.   [/quote]
