As Walwyn says of Brits out here "Most of them are pretty thick", I would estimate I have met half of the West Midlands, Black country and the whole of Wales living here under such names as "Pommie", "Pommie Pete", "Pommie Phil", "Pommie Owen" etc.. I think you'd find more intellectual challenge in Magaluf, Benidorm and Ibiza...


I didn't realise the Spanish were as stupid . Confused

Someone who I hope was on a wind up said:

Quote:
Oh Acombred-stop living life out of history books. The fact that there used to be slavery, colonialism and all sorts of other s***e things doesn't have to dictate how we live our lives now.



Oh FFS stop living in the past Islamisc law rules you now - its time to stop living in the past. Oh by the way heres some stairs for you to fall down you subhuman clot.

Heres some FACTS for you:

Aboriginal people in Australia were not considered HUMAN until the 1950s by Australia.

The first Aboriginal person to be given the vote was in 1964.

The vast majority Aboriginal people alive today will have been directly impacted by planned genocide by the British and Australian authorities labeled the stolen generation.

Average life span of a white Australian 70 odd - for an indigenous Australian - 54

RE Peter Costellos quote - what's wrong with it?

Well it relies on peoples half arsed approach to thinking - ie can not be bothered so will fall back on lazy stereotypes. He is in a Gordon Brown like situation - trying to get the leadership. He has done his research what do most Aussies think about Muslims? Now lets play to their prejudice rather than attempt to lead through anything that might possibly challenge people.

On top of that is a comparison between the rules for entering a democractic state based on meritocratic values and the rules for entering a highly personal place of worship valid??!!

Sorry its not - oh but hang all those bloody Muslims want us to live under islamic law thought don't they???

I'm sorry-have you just tried to call me a sub human c unt, monkey? Show me in what way shape or form I was belittleing what happened to the Aboriginal people and then show me where amd when I suggested that anyone was trying to make anyone else live under Muslim law.

When you've failed to do that, f***ing apologise.

LVR - absolutey not called you that. Badly made point by me I guess - meant to be a description of life for a lot of Aboriginal people. Sorry for any offence.

Feeling run high for me on this subject having worked on several projects with Aboriginal people in Australia and living in oz has made me see thinigs about English history in a slightly differnt light.

TBH I see no reason why anyone in the UK would have an idea what has and continues to happen to the indigenous race in Australia since most Australians do not.

Sad but true.

When my daughter was at school she was constantly bombarded with sport, rampant Aussie nationalism (raising and lowering the flag and singing the anthem every morning), but was only provided with 6 weeks worth of Aboriginal Studies during the whole ten years that she was at school. Shocked Shocked

My experiences suggest that Australians value firstly money then sport and place compassion and humanity some way behind in the category that is entitled "things to do when I make my 5th million" .

Where abouts in Oz are you Monkey? I'm in the Gong...

County Bondi Wink

Been here a year now but looking like a lot longer. My main concern at the moment the time difference between here and Germany!

I agree with the money thing in Oz - pollies playing to great Ozzie Battler - who now have three investment properites and worried about stock market fluctuations..

The 'gong is lovely place - met an ex-copper there once.

Accepted. To clarify, you included the quote in question apparently to indicate that the speaker was racist. I didn't think that particular quote indicated that at all.

Without wanting to drag something out BUT..:

I have not accused anyone of being a racist.

I was attempting to suggest that, we as citizens of the UK (or any country TBH) can not just brush under the carpet our history and the impact it has on people alive and living today.

I agree, but if can't have a debate about modern life without using the past to justify our position we will never move on. I think there is acceptance that Britain along with most major countries have things in their past that are shameful, but no-one alive today is responsible for those things.

That was the point I was making-that if you point out problems involving immigration or something, there will always be someone who accuses you of racism or who states "what about slavery?" or whatever. It really doesn't achieve anything.
