may i point out exactly what youve just said is the kind of discrimiation they face?

hear, hear! anyone who commits such a crime isnt given money, they are sent to jail. That is why the law exists; to keep the greater community safe. And whether or not they are aboriginal makes no difference.

but not everyone can be classified under them.

I agree. As much as you care to disagree, swearing is offensive to some people.

it was one of the main reasons why.

did i really? how strange. i implied that the howard government had overall bad policies. I disagree with the way they gained power over keating in the first place, too; the whole scare campaign about aboriginies stealing your land under the native title act.

And swearing in this instance, much like smoking, is disgusting, unattractive and bad for you. If its a habit, its a good habit to break.

Im not trying to re-write history, Im just saying that the Liberal Govt. is no longer in power, so its a moot point. As you so rightly pointed out, it is now HISTORY, i.e. in the past/over. Thank god. Katie: im just suggesting that there is no need to get worked up about this. People only...

I am astonised that you feel threatened enough to swear as much as you do. This is a DISCUSSION and eveyone is entitled to their opinion! That is the main reason for discussions. That you feel it is necessary to insult others is not an admirable trait. If that is your opinion on Aboriginies, i...

However, i do, and i am not romanticising the aboriginie's plight, i am suggesting that there needs to be more of an effort from the government. I do agree that some aboriginals need to help themselves, BUT...

I entered this discussion over interest and passion in the issue. I must admit, I don't understand why my opinions and beliefs are being being attacked. I have simply communicated my view. Thats good for you guys, that you have diversity in your background. Honestly I don't think you...

Might I also point out that this decline in support of One Nation is probably due to their ideas, which i was likening to the opinions of the majority of the people involved in the thread?

I believe the term is "sarcasm", katie :rolleyes:

Ok. God, i love you people! So ready to broaden your minds to the possibilities!! 1. Yes i know i used a quote from the African-American movement; does that really matter if i agree with it?? 2. I know some people have that opinion [ the health workers you work with] and they are entitled to...

Ok people. This argument is interesting in the way that sickens people because of peoples lack of understanding and downright stupidity at times. It makes me upset and angry when people are so ignorant and try to qualify one group of people as undeserving of help; especially when they need it to...
