Good see some consistency from the Mods....

I sat out a ban replying to the Morbid Roo for using the same language he did.

Only I wasn't on another forum with Ozpol members doing a whinge about it. Grin

Ya can't say "C" in Canada ... or 'Straya apparently Wink

They tell me the story of long distance 2 up curry muncher truck drivers cutting a hole in the floor of the cab over the gearbox and using it as a toilet is a myth... no real evidence produced they say ..

but some how I think there may be a grain of truth in it somewhere. Grin

I doubt that -

slavery was an afterthought that Lincoln used to ennoble his cause.
Slavery kept the South rich with all that free labor.

The confederates primary income was cotton. This was over a century after the start of the industrial revolution. The northern states were far more industrialised. Not a huge difference, but enough to tip the balance in the war. It was a technologically more advanced economy up against a less advanced one.

Even many of the new inventions for the cotton industry came from northerners. A slave owner has no motivation to reduce human labour, because he never toils in the field. A slave has no motivation to stick his neck out, when he will not get any benefit from his invention, and would probably be denied the means to build it anyway. A slave cannot do much to improve his lot in life, and his primary motivation is to do less work. A slave owner's primary focus is to get as much labour as possible out of the slaves. Slavery inevitably stagnates economies. As well as putting more thought into their work and being more creative, free men often worked harder than their enslaved contemporaries, simply because they were motivated to do so.

And yet the Darkies are still not free -
most of them live in black ghettos and have to resort to crime to survive -
mostly drug dealing.
White people can't even go there -
they would be mugged, stabbed or even shot and killed just for having a white face.

Yes, I would believe it. A spate of Linfox Curry muncher drivers getting cornflake tickets by fellow curry munchers passing them. One driver jammed his truck under a too low bridge and couldn't even reverse it out. The Mussos are just as bad. Take food delivery drivers. They never wear the lower strap of the seatbelt on properly, just the shoulder strap, with the lower being behind their backs.
