    Nearly a rite of passage, then? :p

    Isn’t it the case with every dangerous thing in life? … it’s amazing any of us survive childhood … lol

    I’m also of the culture that originated the derogatory term ‘Eskimo’ … it’s an Anglesized pronunciation of what we call the Inuit … we call them 'Ish-shish-kee-mel" … which translates to ‘Raw meat eater’

    We have a lot of respect for the Inuit because they live in a much harsher climate … and conversely they respect us in our environment because they don’t know how to live in ours.
