Words can't describe about some of the crap I've read since Australia Day about our people. Sad that I have to come on here and see s**t too.
You are perpetuating racial hatred and divide from the actions of people who died hundreds of years ago when the world was very obviously a different place.
You have no link to any injustice yourself. I think you will find most of the world has been taken over at some point in history and it happened that long ago that it's not worth inciting further hatred and bigotry.
Australia Day is about celebrating all us equals whether you have been here 25,000 years or 1 year and particularly if it's white people trying to hijack the day over something that happened 228 years ago is just pathetic, outrageous and offensive.
Just another case of an uneducated person that knows nothing. Such a arrogant post and seriously pathetic.
What you fail to acknowledge is that those actions have consequences that affect many people still today.
How? I would like to live off the land, build a little shack for myself and go fishing and hunting every day but that is a lifestyle of centuries ago and none of us can do that so the Aboriginals aren't alone on that front... how are they any worse off than us? My ancestors got kicked off their land 150 years ago through religious intolerance and famine so that's even worse but you don't see us complaining.

Did thousands of your ancestors getting raped and murdered?
They're only going going live ten years less than most, be poorer than most, more likely to get diabetes and die of diseases such as cancer more likely.

Yep that's the white man's fault....
Through cause an affect its the fault of the first fleet and the lie of terra nullius.
Opened this thread expecting to see universal love
Left disappointed
Get stuffed.
Why I never...
That lifestyle while uncommon is still possible today. Off grid and sustainable living is becoming more in vogue, but to do so without a job would likely mean distancing oneself from society.How?

As an individual. Possible. As an group, a tribe or even as civilization? Nope.That lifestyle while uncommon is still possible today. Off grid and sustainable living is becoming more in vogue, but to do so without a job would likely mean distancing oneself from society.
Thanks for that.There's already good conversation regarding this going on here
Don't let this conversation descend again into personal attacks and remain respectful of each others views and position.
I can't take any more of this s**t. Good bye all.
You can't debate in here without people losing their s**t and abusing you.
It's the Bigfooty way mate.
Being unable to move on from crimes against strangers 300 years ago will get us absolutely no where, and actively trying to stop other people from celebrating Australia day because of that reason will only serve to divide Australia and create tension between groups.
At the end of the day if you can't move on because people with your skin colour were killed hundreds of years ago you need to seek therapy because it's not a healthy way to live, it serves no positive purpose.
The rest of us should be thankful for the fantastic modern Australia we live in... and glad we have so many more opportunities and wealth than people who live in most of Asia/Africa/South America/The middle East ect
Sir Lothie makes a lot of good points (apart from his apparent reluctance to accept Aboriginals were killed in the early settler days, maybe I've misinterpreted though) but people are too busy trying to tow the politically correct line they can't see it.
Just another case of an uneducated person that knows nothing. Such a arrogant post and seriously pathetic.
