Are you actually suggesting that altering the constitution is a petty matter?

You would expect that indigenous Australians could have made something out of the continent, instead of living a Stone Age existence.

That's the problem. "We" have been imposing OUR expectations on those we dispossessed violently.

Did it not occur to you that they were perfectly content with their way of living and had no need to seek change?

I might as well toss you into a Court Room and have an expectation that you will know the Law as I do.

That makes as much sense as your point.

OH MY GODFATHER!!!!

STILL IN THIS TOPIC ????

ALL FREAKING WEEKEND????

Aussie go see a farkkking psychiatrist. ASAP!

You are talking ABSOLUTE REPETITIVE BS!

This isn’t who you really are.

Why are you acting like such a nong? What’s happened to you?

No Aussie. I oppose it because it is racist, pointless, dangerous, expensive and stupid.

Your response? "It's the thought that counts".

Have you noticed you are the only one here who says they will vote yes?

Freediver....I’ve FINALLY worked out what Aussie is doing! Aussie might be SAYING he’s voting YES but that’s merely because he’s playing *Devil’s Advocate.

I just don’t get why his script is on repeat like some old broken record.

It’s as if his keyboard has been on auto pilot. ALL weekend 😩🥺😐

*Devil’s Advocate

When someone is playing Devil's advocate they are arguing for an opinion that is against what they really believe. The purpose is to highlight what the opposing side feels and hopefully give another person some insight into why there is an opposition and how that opposition might react. Playing Devil's advocate is most commonly used when helping to make a decision.

That is not my position. You argued that the Voice was racist. I said I don't care if it is. That does not make me a racist. It merely acknowledges your point.

Yes, it is, in your words, not mine, "the thought that counts."

Have you ever done an act because it was the thought that counted, Effendi?

No, I am stating that your objections, or rather excuses for hiding under the bed, clutching teddy fearfully to your chest and sucking the dummy are pettyminded, selfish bigotry.

...It is good that we provide recognition to those people we totally dispossessed, violently.

"We" don't have any need to provide recognition of
what our ignorant British ancestors did 250 years ago
in order to purportedly dispossess a people who
collectively never "owned" the land they stood upon.

Aboriginals no more "own" Ayers Rock, The Grampians,
or Mount Warning any more—or at all—than you or I do.
These geographical features existed multi-millennia
before the Southeast Asian diaspora moved into the
Australian continent.

Ayers Rock is 550,000,000 years old. How long have
Aboriginals been here? 60,000 years—a minute fraction
of that time equal to only 0.01% in fact.

In my Uncle Aussie’s mind (yes he IS apparently as old as my parents so out of respect I must now refer to him as Uncle) ... it doesn’t mean he’s racist. It just means he’s in denial about being racist and that’s fine because he doesn’t care.

🤷🏻‍♀️

Reply #194 - Jun 25^th, 2023 at 10:13pm I just have the feeling he is just trying to double-agent in terms of pretending to be in favour of the Voice to Parliament. But, he really wants the "no" campaign to succeed.
