Thread: Sadly our history has some very dark parts

The WA brigade don't feel "Left Out" at all, We are doing just fine thank you very much.
The Vast majority of all these stupid left wing projects usually emanate from the East Coast anyway as there are far more Civil libertarians and do gooders over there that feel that they need a project to give their miserable lives some sort of meaning regardless of how it effects the lives of other Australians.
I will be celebrating "Australia Day" tomorrow as usual and all the knobheads that don't like it can bang their drums, march and wave their non Australian flags all they like, I don't give a "Rats" because I like the Vast majority of Australians do and will continue to celebrate this day regardless of the minority groups that want to cause division amongst Australians.

You guys are unbelievable. Every conversation on this site about Aboriginal people or minorities, the gay and lesbian community or anything else you find easy to remonstrate against ends in a chest beating, right wing, conservative frenzy.

Clearly you haven't thought about one thing a few of us "lefties" have said. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

Want to know why there isn't an easy solution to "fixing" issues in Indigenous communities? Because by systematically destroying Aboriginal culture, white people have taken away nearly everything it means to be an Aboriginal person. How many of you were taken away from your parents when you were kids, beaten if you spoke your language, systematically dispossessed of everything that meant anything? No you haven't thought of that because you only think about yourselves.

Some of us on this forum value the opinions of minorities, Aboriginal people, people from the LGTBI community and women. Be dammed if I'm going to keep sitting here being quiet when I keep hearing such bull****.

How about going out and meeting Aboriginal people and asking them what they think about changing the date and what it means to them? Alternatively you'll probably deride me, my comments and any chance of thinking differently as your Neanderthal brains have become unable to show any compassion, virtue or moral integrity whatsoever. Sometimes I'm ashamed to live in the same country as those of such intolerance. The difference between me and others who give up trying to change your bigoted minds? I ain't no wall flower.

Peace out.

love a good chest beating.

Just “LGTBI”? You don’t value Q&A?

i call hypocritical, bigoted & discrimatory lack of sensitivity.

Sorry to burst your bubble Old Mate But I am neither Left winger nor am I Right winger I am a middle of the road bloke that looks at life with a glass half full outlook

A far as I am concerned the Left and Right wing zealots are a pack of Nutters.
I don't care if these people look at life differently to me But I do object when these people try and force their agenda down my throat and try to change things to suit their own agenda that may affect me.

I hope everyone has a great Australia Day tomorrow.

Are women a minority now? I'd better hang on to my missus as her resale is only going to go up...

Keep the missus. Married men eat better and live longer than single blokes.

Some people put their own opinions ahead of reality. That's all I'll say.

Not trying to force a view on anyone mate. Just trying to show you and others there are views out there other than your own and they also matter.

Your view of the middle of the road is different to mine. Perhaps it's an age thing? I don't consider myself a "left nutter" but see the left in a far more positive light than the right in most instances. That's because I try to be empathetic- a quality severely missing from the conservatives and more right leaning "nutters" to use your words.
