Did an Injun work 40 hours a week?

[StanUpshaw]

I mean like 1000 years ago.

Obviously not now.

[sailor]

probably much, much more.

[Dude!]

they spent 40 hours a week
on torturing and scalping alone

[StanUpshaw]

I'm sure it depends on what type of Injun.

The ones that only had to club the salmon on the head when they jumped out of the river...I'm guessing they were done by 11:30.

That counts as recreational.

Their work and life was the same thing.

Their work and life was the same thing.

And it was all about your own survival, and the health and happiness of your family and a group of people you had a kinship with. Not some asshole CEO who'd probably fire your ass in a second to get a 1 cent raise in the stock price.

[Snoogans]

is this a serious question? I dont think anyone 1000 years work ONLY 40 hour work weeks. they werent like going to offices and shit

[Chigworthy]

This is difficult. In an effort combat the guilt I have after being told my whole life that it is my fault for the pox blankets, buffalo extinction, marches of tears, etc., I would like to say that native Americans were industrious and worked much more than 40 hours a week. But then that implies that things weren't "better back then", which is a really satisfying way of thinking because it helps to remove any personal responsibility from things that may go wrong in my life today.

I'm going to forget I ever thought about this.

You're not going to win the poll so stop trying.
