"Welcome To Country" Speeches .......... Gone Too Far Now ??

[Chief]

Which is?

Read up on what more knowledgeable people than I have said about colonisation.

 

[RedWhite4Ever]

Read up on what more knowledgeable people than I have said about colonisation.

What about the benefits of it?

 

[South of the Yarra]

What a seriously crap comment. A nothing comment that shows you don't have much of an argument.

Facts are facts. You seem to ignore facts that don't suit your agenda. And make up others. And then throw mud and call people racist.

Well it is in fact you and the red neck racists you despise holding this country back from healing and actually becoming a better place to live. Too busy living in the past hating each other to actually move on and improve the lives of all Australians.

Maybe go for a holiday to Northern China and talk with the locals, you may just start understanding how lucky we all are here. And just how unlucky some people are even in a so called advanced modern society.

1 I didn't realise it was an argument
2. I am not arguing, I am offering a perspective that you cannot.
3. If someone is racist, I will call them out every time. Perhaps you should try that.
4. I have been to Northen China, several times. Have also been to North Korea and many other Norths.
5. You actually have no idea what you are talking about

 

[Chief]

What about the benefits of it?

That was a quick read.

 

[kickazz]

To funny. Have a look at the age demographic of all the protesters such as the flogs at the weapons convention throwing acid and horse shit. Climate change protestors and virtually every protest is dominated by young naive uni fools and students.

Did they offend you?

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

What about the benefits of it?

None of us would be here if it wasn’t for colonisation. NONE of us.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

You do realize Polynesian people were quite barbaric in their own right?
It does not excuse what Cook and the people of his time did but let's not pretend there were innocents. Life was incomprehensible to what Westerners experience today.

Wow. That is racist . It was their country being invaded you moron. They have the right to defend it and the right to stop Cook using their women snd resources.
You better delete that.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Wow. That is racist . It was their country being invaded you moron. They have the right to defend it and the right to stop Cook using their women snd resources.
You better delete that.

That word gets thrown around so much these days.
Imo, the people that spout about it the most are in fact the most racist ones.

 

[Drought Break]

Did they offend you?

Not me personally. Maybe the police that had acid and shit thrown at them May have been a bit peeved off. Where you one of the rabble?

That's rubbish .

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Love the bottled outrage when news.com goes for a trigger point or whenever SkyNews decides to rile up its viewers.

But it’s the uni students and protesters who are naive , yep.

 

[Roylion]

There were some maps too which were central to his theory.

The Dieppe Maps.

Sort of surprised (in retrospect) it made the reading list

It's an interesting, if not that well supported, hypothesis.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

That's rubbish .

Nope, it's not rubbish at all.
Imo, your opinion on my opinion, is rubbish.

 

[schneebly111]

It does not excuse what Cook and the people of his time did but let's not pretend there were innocents. Life was incomprehensible to what Westerners experience today.

I mean where in any discourse are we told to pretend that indigenous people are completely innocent?

I could sell 17 bales of hay with the amount of strawmanning going on in this thread

You think so? Actually, those that I label racist are well, um racist.

Judging the worthiness of the parties is a way to distract from the facts.

You see it in the "unworthy victim" story spun around every injustice.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

That's not a civilization.

The oldest civilizations developed around 3000-4000 BCE

I think you'll find it's now believed to be 10,000 - 12,000 BCE

See Gobekli Tepe

 

[Malifice]

The oldest civilizations developed around 3000-4000 BCE

Thats not even close to being true.

 

[2Knights]

Shit thread. Send it to S/R/P where it belongs.

 

[Chief]

acid and horse shit

Only confirmed "acid" has been police spraying their own horse.

 

[Drought Break]

Only confirmed "acid" has been police spraying their own horse.

Ha ha. Yeh police often spray their own horses with acid for the fun of it . Where did you get your confirmation from? Your Antifa buddies?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

To even think the welcome to country at a football game is welcoming you to Australia is ridiculous.

Specially when it's been said over and over again.

It was even said in the speech that sparked this thread, let alone the whole current debate.

This x 1000.

Wasn't there and I've got no idea why you brought this up in a thread about WTC.

It's a bit weird.

 

[Bostonian]

Thats not even close to being true.

Go argue with these types of people then.

So Indigenous people were guilty of attacking an invading force with rocks and spears even thoigh the invading force had guns?
Quite a statement there.
