Lol wow there are so many errors in your post I don't really know what to say. You obviously don't know what culture means. Culture refers to things like ones language, art, spirituality, beliefs etc. You're saying that "our culture is greater than their culture" in reference to our apparent...

haha no. There isn't ONE person to fall in love with. Everyone has the potential to fall in love with many people. There will always be people you meet and have a connection with and that's great, you might end up staying with that person forever. Or, you might break up and find someone else...

Heritage and the actions of past generations is extremely important to many cultures, Aboriginals being one of them. It would upset me to know that my grandparents, or even people of my nationality, were heavily discriminated agaist and treated like animals based on their lifestyle and beliefs...

As I recall, people tend to go to jail for physical and sexual abuse. And that has nothing to do with ones race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or age. You're suggesting by disadvantaging and sterotyping an entire racial group, we are actually forwarding society and getting rid of...

And everyone who is found out doing those things DOESNT GET A FUCKING CENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT!

People who abuse other people have grown up in an unstable and/or abusive environment, therefore have adapted to these norms and inflict it on their children. Without assistance/help/intervention, this cycle continues and that's just the way it is. Because of THINGS IN THE PAST, more Aboriginals...

ARGHH! I just typed this whole bullshit thing and it screwed up when posting Oh well this argument is frustrating. Btw in response to Yeh, that's the way it is... I meant if you take away ALL Aboriginals welfare payments, it would only have negative consequences. In individual...

Well I am certainly not proud of our history lol. But I do see your point about them being Australians and should be treated as such. Except so many people IN THIS THREAD talk about Aboriginals as if they're some pathetic 'lesser' nationality. Although we should see them as fellow Australians...

"Shortly before last year’s election, Howard declared a “national emergency” and sent the army to the Northern Territory to “protect the children” who, said his minister for indigenous affairs, were being abused in “unthinkable numbers”...In May, barely reported, government statistics revealed...

Ahh there we go :) Thanks for that info!

Not all Aboriginals don't use the benefits in a positive way. Even if it is the minority, their rights shouldn't be ignored because a larger number of people of the same culture abuse the money. Anyway, I don't necessarily think the government should have Aboriginal-only welfare payments. Yeh...

I'm concentrating on "why is society drawn to gossip?" meaning why people tend to ignore social issues and spend their time/money/energy on trivial things [celebrities, magazines etc]. I want to look at the influences which cause people to behave like this [psychological and social]. So yeh I...

I get really jelous too. The solution is COMMUNICATION. Tell her how and why you're feeling a particular way. If she disregards you, try and make her realise you're serious. I get jelous easy cause my past two boyfriends started liking one of my friends [the same one] while we were going out...

I don't think kids are growing up too fast... [remember the idea of teenagers never used to exist] I just think kids are more shit.

Far out as pretty much everyone has said, you can offer the assistance but it is up to the individual to accept it. This obviously doesn't just relate to the Aboriginal community, it relates to EVERY disadvantaged group, so why do so many people adopt such racist generalisations about...

I've seen all the episodes and season 2 is WAY better than season one! I do have a soft spot for Torchwood, despite its lameness :P

hmmm Doctor Who! haha. I really do love it... True Blood is awesum, but probably because I love the books so much. RED DWARF!! Faulty Towers Blackadder Dexter is fun and many others. I'm a bit of a Trekkie too but I doubt many people share that trait lol.

The thing is the government don't really know how to treat the Aboriginal community. Some want to integrate into white Australian society, others want to stay true to their traditional ties and [most] others are caught somewhere in the middle, not knowing what they want due to their upbringing...

lol wow. What an achievement for you.

haha I think he might be older than you
