Avalon afb near Toowoomba can land B2 bombers, and a bunch were housed there last year for months. The prevailing winds will dump that fallout (cos Amberly and Toowoomba itself will be nuked now) on everything from the Sunshine Coast south to Ballina.

Just moved to Tassie. Know a few people who would probably vote Liberal but might not because they don't want the stadium. Yes they want a footy side but not at that price. Some are quite pissed off with the AFL about the situation. I honestly don't blame them. I also know a few people who...

And at least some of frontline was based in fact/actual events!

Many aboriginal kids in NT schools have English as a second or third language and are expected to respond as if its their first language. Certainly things are better than they were at the turn of the century on that front but still not really good.

Eugenics and racism go hand in hand.

They don't teach reading in those Nigerian schools you went to? Or history by the looks of things.

Why?

We need a national discussion about all this stuff and it does need to happen with a bit more respect than often gets shown on social media.

I think it should be what you say but often I get the impression its not.

If you want it to be your land too how about looking after it properly and caring for it like its a member of your family instead of something to screw money out of?

It was a throwaway line. I didn't expect Roy (of all people) to respond.

Honestly it was just a throwaway line. I don't have much respect for aristocracy and was using poetic license. Look I get what you're saying but Europe's ruling class was more than, for example George and Wilhelm. Who were the people who had control over foreign policy? Were they...

So essentially a family feud between Europe's ruling class. You can bang on about details all you like but the ruling class of Europe at the time were related, had competing empires and as some of those empires (which had related royal families essentially leading them via constitutional...

Yeah, such a waste...

Describe why it started and I'll tell you what I think about that.

ok, if you insist....

I grew up in the 70s and my nan... She was the youngest of 13 kids and her favorite brother was 19/20 years older than her, she was still heartbroken 50 years later. She kept her brothers picture on her mantle piece her whole life (in a house I'm moving to next week funnily enough.) I'll be...

Yeah but you know your question was bollocks as much as I do. You're not always a s**t campaigner Dan. Sometimes you're a very funny campaigner. Sometimes you make some excellent points. But you can't be serious with that comment. Its just a failed gotcha. Is Nigerian even an ethnicity? Nigerian...

It could not be argued by anyone that such a thing happened. If anything began that day it was NSW, which was a prison colony at the time. Modern Australia probably began in 1986 with the passing of the Australia Act. Or whenever it was Pauline Hansen started One Nation.

Yeah. Lets celebrate our relos getting blown to s**t because of a ruling class family feud in Europe over 100 years ago.

They have different meanings. Country as a state is one thing, country as a place is another. The state is a parasite and it feeds of the people who live in a place. Its where it gets its energy and power. (I'm opposed to the state as a thing on general principles tho I put up with it cos...

No Dan. You're just a campaigner.

Its complicated. Indigenous people are religious about the land the uni/multiverse and their relationship to it but not in the way a fundy from the Abrahamic religions is religious about things. (Not just in Australia either.) Maybe in traditional times they were but I dunno about that.

Yep that's why it was full of many nations who traded goods from one end of it to the other. What diseases? Potentially weaponised European ones that they were never exposed to previously. And? Yeah good point. There seem like short term ones right now but every population crashes after...

Different religions are different. Even the way some people practise the same religion produces different outcomes. lol Your relationship to football is religious, you just haven't realised it yet. Even atheists are religious. Look at Communism in Russia and especially in China under Mao...

Do we? You don't speak for me and you have no idea what i think of religion. Most of human society in 2024 is a load of crap. Do you endlessly consume s**t you don't need to fill up the hole you have in your life, like most modern people?

In 1788 the continent you call Australia had international trade and a better quality of life than Europe, for most Europeans. Who cares about the stone age? It was a better period than the feudal age

Pre invasion indigenous people were religious. Their religion and nearly every every aspect of their lives was mediated thru a belief system that is centred around the Dreaming. But that term - Dreaming - might be a mistranslation of a word that meant eternal as much as "dream".

Its straight up religious. Nothing quasi about it.... In all likelihood humans evolved to be religious. I don't think its something we invented. Its probably a pre human behaviour as mammals and birds exhibit ritualistic behaviour and the connection between ritual and religious or...

Indigenous societies often had government without a formal state. Closer to anarchist societies than slave ones.
