Hello
I have decided to start a thread due to an interesting discussion we have been having on the main board in regards to Australia Day (I have searched and I found no thread about this here, but it was a quick search). Should Aboriginals be gratefual for the benefits they enjoy today due to the Brits parking their yacht in Sydney Harbour in 1788? Is the average Aussie happier than their indigenous counterpart of 222 years ago? Is western civilisation the peak of human achievement?
Please discuss. For the record my thoughts are posted on the main board. I shall cut'n'paste if this thread attracts any interest at all.
Thank you.
