I'm actually quite disappointed in you ambex.
You've posted once in this thread.. I checked all of your posts.
His comment is not directly pointed at you.
Also, you have no right to drop the race card, especially being white.
Your comment is cheap, insulting, and trolling.
Your comment wasn't meant to encourage dialogue... it was meant to
start a fight. And I'm stopping it. Everyone back on topic... and let
a mod come and erase the last few posts including mine.
C'mon. We've been skirting, using fancy words and being just PC enough in this whole thread to stay just outside those bounds of being "racist", It's all crap and a crutch. People need a 'Hand up" not a "Hand out" to steal a phrase. Once that has been given, they thrive.... or die. Like every section of the cities that retain their culture. The 'Little Italys", Little Saigons", the "Polish Quarter", have all done well and retained culture, heritage and identity. They've done so by depending on each other, trusting each other, helping each other and working hard. It's worked for every segment in society today............save one. Why can't the Aboriginals accomplish the same standard? This is no longer my problem, and really never has been. As has been stated earlier, what happened a thousand, a hundred, or even fifty years ago, is not my fault. I have no guilt and see no reason to have to pay for it. I'll give anyone a chance, but if you don't grab the rope, don't expect me to keep making circles with the boat until you decide you've made your point. I'm truly sorry, in a humanitarian way, for what's happened previously. The Aboriginals are not the only ones that were abused by priests and nuns. They don't have a corner or precedent when it comes to being subjugated, humiliated and decimated by another sector of the world societies. That's happened to thousands of cultures and civilisations world wide since time began. If you want to live totally in the old ways, fine. Give up everything we've brought. Gas, hydro, firearms, the gambit. If you wish to retain even the tiniest part of this civilisation and period of time, get on with it and join it. Personally, I've had enough of all your PC sparing, on both sides, There's nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage and customs, no matter what they are or their origins, but I'm not financially or morally responsible for maintaining or succoring them, .....at all....ever.....and never will be.
