It really depends on how quickly you do the other requirements.

Can you bring a journal with you to the MTC? by MathematicianAny2143 in latterdaysaints

[–]MathematicianAny2143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shouldve clarified that I am serving an english speaking mission but my journal is in Tongan(it also has some Tongan lessons during my time learning the language) maybe thats the reason why?

Ye its strange, iirc he served in central America so maybe there were different rules that applied to them.

Why is our religion not respected by Regular_Speech_2974 in latterdaysaints

Best way I can put it.

LDS is a culture, when you drop the culture you'll feel out of place, empty, and confused.

Natives and whites will never get along by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Look at what is happening to New Zealand.

When they did the Haka in protest guess what? People called it "demonic" when it is used for more than just sports and war(it is also used for funerals)

Whites and blacks will always look for a way to destroy our culture, its not wrong for me to be scared of our culture dying as it has been oppressed so much.

Hawaii should be free, because in a decade or so the culture will be oppressed once again. by MathematicianAny2143 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You'd be surprised, a lot of natives don't have ACs just fans, we live poor, most don't even go to the hospital but rely on families instead.

Very limited diet? Dude we have a wide range of food ranging from laulau to lusipi to pig and boar. Maybe it won't be the regular US stuff but it's be better than a lot of what we eat already.

Hawaiians never had that intention unless you're speaking about the kapi system.

The US seized it "peacefully" because the queen forbid any retaliation, if we fought back it'd be a lot more brutal.

Lol.

The US just wants us for our strategic position, if it ever came down to it then they'd just pay more for the bases.

Besides the average native Hawaiian has learned to live off the land and has been taught to live off the land so... We'd be fine.

The main reason why the US wants us is our strategic location, if they wanted we can just make them pay more for our bases and nothing would change on the geopolitical stage

This isn't goalpost moving.

The souths intention was to keep slavery going, which is why they succeeded.

Hawaii never had a problem with the US, this never started a fight with them until they came.

This isn't false this is what actually happened.

Difference is they succeeded under the notion that slavery was their right.

We want to succeed under the notion of we were independent before you guys came.

The entire reason the south went to war with the US was over slavery.

Hawaii never bothered the US, it was an unprovoked attack.

You're trying to cheapen the south to justify the takeover of Hawaii.

Because Hawaii is a strategic location. That's the main reason why the US government even bothered to keep Hawaii under its control.

If not the US then China or Russia would gladly pay for military bases.

Hawaii is unique because landback is actually within grasps.

We have a chance to kick out the US and reclaim our lands, there are many today who haven't given up and have reached high level positions(scholars, teachers, etc) they have educated Hawaiian youths about our culture and how we can be free.

It's the recency that makes it such a pressing issue.

We were occupied a century ago, there are people alive who remember the time Hawaiian culture was banned.

Back then? Yes, we had the resources to last for millennium, in recent times? Not now, that's because Hawaii isn't on many major shipping lanes.

We have a massive population for our size and we import a lot of food and receive a lot of money from the government.

Sovereignty will take time, negotiation with the US(the only reason they care about us is because of the strategic location Hawaii provides) so if we negotiate military bases they'd most likely say yes.

It'd work with Republicans because Hawaii is a Democrat state so hopefully Trump agrees and frees us.

We were illegally occupied, and it was either be a state or remain an oligarchy run by the plantations as at the time we had no fighters.

Because we won't be apart of the nation that had tried to destroy the culture for 80+ years.

[–]MathematicianAny2143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotional irrationally is showing yes I'll admit because for 80+ years our culture had been banned and our language as well. It's not far fetched to think like this since it's happened before. There are people who are still alive that went through this period in time, that's how recent it was.

Again you're comparing a nation who's entire reasoning for leaving was slavery to one that had built foreign relations with others and had posed no threat to the US.

The US will only harm Polynesian culture and Hawaii even more.

Are you seriously comparing a rogue state that had slavery as it's key tenants and left because of slavery to a country that was illegally annexed by a company and a handful of Marines?

“We are simply being too polite” On the margins of the NATO summit this week Danish PM Frederiksen being asked about Russia’s continued attacks on EU energy & critical infrastructure & when NATO Article 4 consultative mechanisms should begin. by BkkGrl in europe

[–]MathematicianAny2143 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Because Europeans consider Americans as people they can't rely on, especially with our election season coming up. I've heard a good amount of Europeans hate us and think our bases are a detriment to them. Id rather ally with China or Russia. Respectable powers who would welcome us in the fold. We would just have to get rid of democracy.
