lol.... they dont seem to have the problems with history like we do...
maybe thats the answer ..
the day after Australia Day...one day off isnt enough these days is it..
lets talk to Sally!
Our Kiwi cousins have a
much better track record on national policy and attitudes to Indigenous peoples.
seriously you think we ill treat people here...
We have, until quite recently. In some parts of Australia, it still occurs. Indigenous Australians are the once more often than not kicked by white Australians, if by nothing else but their ignorance of what occurs, Cods.
Quote: I can only speak for myself....but to me all we hear from our indigenous chums is complaints whinge whinge whinge I dont hear that from the Maori.....they get on and make their own lives they either mix in or do their own thing.....they dont constantly ask for MORE...and expect others to solve their problems
I believe in God helps those who helps themselves..
and I dont see that much from out chums. to be honest...
Warren is like a breath of fresh air... if only they would listen to him.. instead of those half baked whiners who imo teach aboriginals to be complainers....
You seem to be assuming that the squeaky wheels are representative of the mainstream of Indigenous Australians, rather like many here believe that Terrorists or Islamists are representative of the mainstream of Muslim life in Australia. They aren't nor are the whingers and whiners. Certainly, things could be easier for most Indigenous Australians but they not quite as hard as is made out.
YOU LIVE IN THE PAST WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE WANT APOLOGIES ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPENED LONG AGO AND HAD NOT A THING TO DO WITH TODAYS GENERATION....
FOR REASONS KNOWN ONLY TO THEMSELVES IT MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER..
DOES IT CHANGE LIVES DOES IT MAKE THEM ACT BETTER DOES IT STOP THE CHILD ABUSE THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.....?????????
NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE....IN FACT ITS PROBABLY WORSE NOW THAN IT EVER WAS.....
some people use harsh language when dealing with aborigines and I dont like that but nothing will ever stop rednecks they are in every culture...
people like you thrive on the past only the bad stuff of course... were you part of it???..
I know I wasnt!
Lucky you, Cods. Or were you? You are old enough (and knowing your political views) you more than likely voted into power Governments which did bad things or continued bad things done to Indigenous Australians. Doesn't actually matter if you voted Tory or you voted Labor, they all did bad things, such as stealing children, forcing Indigenous people off their land, allowing land owners to exploit them, etc.
I don't "live in the past". I am just aware of how we got to the present, to today. You appear to think that what happened yesterday is ancient history or something. I don't. I am aware of what occurred years, decades, centuries ago. You appear upset that I keep reminding you, Cods. Why? Do you have a guilty conscious and don't like being reminded of what people did in the past?
