    I see, so they shouldn’t be allowed to democratically vote on which country to be a part of because their wishes won’t be honored.

    Still sounds paternalistic.

      I’m not saying that at all. Please don’t put words in my mouth (again).

      Go read up on their history, and then my comment will have context and you’ll understand it.

          you just posted the exact same comment four times. Could’ve tried explaining what point you’re trying to make in that time.

          Its 5:30am here and I haven’t gone to bed yet, so I’m a little tired. Plus I’m having conversations with multiple people and getting multiple responses back, so you’ll have to forgive me if I repeat myself unnecessarily. Hard to track multiple conversations.

        Well then I’m not sure what you’re arguing. Because my comment was that if Hawaiians got a chance to vote to be either American or Chinese, both countries should honor their vote.

        So unless you’re saying they shouldn’t be allowed that chance, I have no idea what your point is.
