something." How original. Perhaps setting up another ATSIC and throwing nearly a billion dollars a year
in guilt money at for 14 years so white Australia can feel better about
their ancestors winning a war with some black people? What a great idea! Keep 'em coming! You are so .. progressive! >> The cycle of

religious exceptions) seem to be integrating into Australian society pretty
well. Some 'unfair' racism will always exist in society - it's simply a choice
that some people will make. But 'unfair' discrimination in a
free society creates opportunities for others. People who don't discriminate
'unfairly' will end up better off. >> Considering the fact that White Settlers
>> basically siezed the land these people were using, the government those people
>> set up should pay for it. Really? And who are these people? Point to one walking around the streets. Yes
there was a war. The Aborigines lost. Nearly every piece of inhabited land on
this planet owes its ownership to a war at some point in the past. This was true
of Australia even before the Europeans arrived. >> >> "I don't recall saying that one culture is better than any other." >> Wasn't explicitly stated, it's the impression I got from you (rightly so I'd
>> say). If your claim is that I believe a society based on choice is better than one
based on force and exploitation, I make no apology. If your claim is that I would prefer to live in mainstream Australian society
than a traditional Aboriginal society - again I make no apology. >> >> "However whenever I have heard The Left use it they are saying that I have an
>> >> obligation to give everyone's opinion equal merit." >> I'm not saying this, more that trumpeting your own culture and focusing
>> entirely on the negative aspects of others so you can bash them makes you seem
>> like a miserable grump. Complaining that 'the gummint should do something, but I don't know what' makes
you sound like an ignorant lefty. >> >> "I presume you mean 'with the land'" >> I did. These comments should have an edit function. And whining like this makes you sound like a miserable grump.
