You really are starting to show your complete disdain for aboriginal culture.

Why is a story about a mythical creature any less valid about anything from the old testament that's treated with reverence? Like Noah's ark for example?

Its not your go but why do you need to disparage it?

And BTW the fish traps predate the pyramids by 35000 years and are a feat of engineering way in excess of stacking blocks. But to accept this around mean having to accept they weren't stone age barbarians.
For the EXACT same reason you disparage Christianity, constantly...

I think he's upset that the Aussie culture is older than than the Greek culture, for most of his life he thought he had the Aussie culture of 250 years well covered.

The Australia Day protests and discourse has plenty of shouting that Australia people are guilty of genocide. Of course it's a rubbish notion but that bigotry will just be ignored.

At no point did I use the word 'only' for one group yet they're the common denominator for the issues mentioned. It's certainly not the Vietnamese, Brazilian or Indian kids. Feel free to search of ARD, ZDF, RTL and RBB Youtube in regards to clans and school discipline amongst migrant kids.

It's funny how you'll deny anyone else's examples as bad anecdotal evidence while yours is factual gospel. You've confirmed my point. The disdain between the two groups is due to their conflicts. The chain continues rather than being broken and this comes no closer to solving the issues. Kids with neither background will either listen or just be stupid about it.

White kids being stupid in history class is the same as WA police have categorised the person who threw the explosive device the other day. I don't agree with it but they've just brandished him as an idiot and are dealing with it behind closed doors.

Meanwhile the Iranian Molotov cocktail bloke has been categorised as a much bigger threat and is being dealt with accordingly. I fail to see any difference between the two incidents yet legal and academic 'experts' feel there is a divide. That's their world I guess.
That's a misconception. They are saying that the riches of the country are built on the riches of Genocide. The other aspect is that we don't make amends for what has happened, we justify the genocide.

Again, you don't have to use the word "only", but you keep stating that they are the only ones responsible. I provided you with stats that prove Muslims are actually the minority with regards to terrorist attacks.

I don't deny what people present. If it can be refuted, then it is weak. If it can't be refuted and it holds weight, then I accept it.

As someone who pretends to work with indegenous affairs I would have expected, at the very least, you were aware of the various stolen generation redress schemes in place already?


Are white kids different to black kids in your classroom? Thats disgusting.
Remember when I called you disingenuous, this is what I meant. You live in this bubble where you twist peoples word to make them inferior and create narratives against them that are false, and also create hate or ill feeling towards that person.

I cant help you If you feel inferior, perhaps you should make your words "un-twistable". I dont need to twist anything, you jump from point to point, re-hashing buzzwords and slogans willy nilly, morally ambiguous and incredibly un-credentialed (accept on your say so) defending ... ummm sorry of lost count of all your causes. You speak of things you have a hazy understanding of, at best, yet do what you accuse me and others of consistently ... battle on without any facts, just to prove a side in argument that nobody really even wants to make. You mention German society coming to terms with their own genocide above... HOW? What repatriations have they made to the countries in Europe they destroyed let alone the 6 million Jews? WHAT about Italy, Bulgaria, Roumania? Not even going to talk about what the Japanese education system does with WW2 ... but all this is irrelevant, JS as someone living in Germany, presents you with facts that YOU refute because, well because of something?

Has anyone in the Muslim world even dared to come out and even acknowledge the Armenian and Pontic Greek genocide from a century ago yet? What are they worried about annoying the Caliphate? Not to mention Australias mighty stance on "fairness"


My posts are "quite disgusting" according to you but I don't really care what your opinion of me is. Fact is YOU claimed modern Australian society has totally disrespected the original inhabitants of this country after the English arrived and defeated them in conquest and slaughter. I put it you you that in 2026, despite all this savage blood lust you try and attribute to "whitey' aboriginal people (even ones without any physical proof to the claim) are compensated financially for past hurt, are provided equal rights in the eyes of the law and are, in fact, endowed with education and healthcare benefits exceeding most other disadvantaged and underprivileged people in Australia. If you want to cry a river, go and talk to the hundreds of thousands at the whims of NDIS and the outcomes of more and more young adults with disabilities living in aged care facilities for example.

For better or worse, racism IS a fact in Australia, as it is in many parts of teh world... BUT it is 2026 and society will NOT heal if youa re constantly looking for divison.... if YOU feel uncomfortable being black in Brisbane that is heartbreaking but I will refuse to be made to feel guilty by association when I dont give a fuck what colour you are. I put it tyo out aht you may be pleasantly suprised how many of your fellow Australians don't care what colour you are either.. OR what religion you are, or what food you eat... The only thing you will cop a bit of shit about is your sports team, thats just how we are....

My advice to you (which I already know you will dismiss and attack me about) is to just pull your head in, stop thinking everyone hates you and just live life... Australians have NEVER had it better in this country than they do today and will tomorrow. Stop giving populist arseholes like Barnaby and Pauline a reason to recruit the lost children t their cause.... DONT be like the Yanks...

Germany continues to do education and remembrance around World War 2 and the Nazis in an effort never repeat the past. Holocaust education is mandatory. Holocaust denial is criminalised.

That's a country that has gone, "we did this, it was bad, we should never do it again. We will honour and respect that past". They continue -to this day- to make reparations and recognition.

Asking people to move one after 200 years of systemic killing and subjugation is quite disgusting. People alive today were part of the stolen generation. You sure as shit do not just 'move on' after being systemically removed from your family and had the Indigenous attempted to be bred and brainwashed out of you.


If you wanna argue politics, religion, history anything.. Im always up for it... You dont have to agree or disagree, just stop being a dickhead and taking everything personally.

Wtf? How do I make words untwistable. You're literally saying that you will purposely misconstrue and twist because you can and it suits you. Just stop twisting words to suit your narrative and not be a prick.

I agree with you on NDIS. We don't care for those with disability and health issues. We constantly reward the rich at the expense of the desperate. That's not to say we fully provide for First Nations people, we don't

I'm not taking it personally. You are making personal attacks and then go, "don't take it personally". I'm not dismissing your advice, I just don't give it much weight, because even in giving advice you are condescending. We can debate and disagree, just stop making sweeping generalisations about ethnic and non-white groups (and constantly bringing your umbrage from Greek history) and being condescending.

Looking at the cost of living, I would argue that we don't have it as good as you claim.

That is poor even by your standards. Call me a prick all you like but don't then say its NOT personal.

As for cost of living, I dont think that was ever in any doubt. I said Australian living standards (for ALL Australoans rich or poor in comparison to previous generations) were better.

We ALL agree the cost of living has gone through the roof, thats a global issue NOT just a regional one...

You and I have our differing views on things but i agree with you on this one.
 
No need to show your ignorance, we were already well aware of it.

Love especially how you have gone from 'I respect all humans no matter their background' to taking the piss out of a 40-60K year old culture.
I was taking the piss out of you Captain Culture but I guess that must have gone over your head as usual?
 
Wow.

For the record, I have no pride in the 'australian identity'. I don't give a fuck. I am not for it, nor am I against it.

It's a nice place. I like it. That's the extent of it.

Love the football team though.

I think thats a good post and I'm a little bit like that too....

I'm 'English', carry a British passport and have to admit in similarity to you that I'm not particularly patriotic in the 'English identity' sense.

Being half Irish (mother) and quarter Scottish/quarter English(dad) is probably why.

I also carry an Irish EU passport and am married to an Australian. It's a right old mix and I think half the world right now would have similar mixed heritage or citizenship from multiple countries, and quite often overlapping with mixed-race or multi-ethnic backgrounds.....

Add in a partner with a difference in heritage and the pursuit of national identity seems lame!



I do however love the English national football team. Love them indiscriminately....

Even if they’re a bit crap!! 🤣🤣
 
Yeah it's amazing the lack of respect. I was in Sardinia looking at these 3000 year old ruins of a peoples that no longer exist and it was a UNESCO site and they made a huge deal about it and how proud they were of it.

Meanwhile we have petroglyphs in the Kimberly that are are 40 000 years old or more and no one gives a fuck. The cave paintings in Lascaux France are only 12 000 years old.

The pyramids are 5000 years old and are world renowned. In Brewarrina there are fish traps that are 40 thousands years old. Who cares amirite?

That's not to say these other sites aren't impressive or important but it's the complete lack of any sort of recognition about this stuff in Australia by Australians that's weird.

I have a theory that people don't want to admire them because to do so would put them on an equal footing to us fellas and that would mean they didn't deserve their mistreatment. (Mistreatment putting it mildly.)

Much easier to think of them as stone age savages that needed to be dragged into the 'civilised' world.
I thought there were a decent number of tourism offering for indigenous sites? You're right it's not the level of the European ones. Minimally it could be to do with geographical isolation but there should be a best possible set up for these sites.

My point, sort of, is Australians will travel all over the world to see ancient sites and view them with admiration and respect and yet your anti flag burning 'patriots' have nothing but disdain and contempt for ours.

And also other countries are proud of their ancient sites.

I'm not calling you one. I'm saying stop being one. You decide whether you wish to be or not.

Well homelessness has risen in Australia. Living standards can be amazing for ALL if people are struggling to pay bills, or having to make choices between food and medicine. If people can't afford rent or basic groceries, then living standards can't be great.

So something needs to be done about it, and both Labor and LNP don't give a shit about it. But as we've seen in America, the right really don't. They keep enriching themselves. Tax billionaires and make the rich pay their fair share.
