    Climing Uluru is one of the most sacrilegious, disrespectful things you can do on the planet.

    You all know it's wrong and the deliberate flouting of this makes me sick.

    Get over your arrogant colonial selfishness.

    If you think my response is strong, it's nothing compared to how the Anangu people feel, every time someone knowingly disrespects such a significant sacred site, by climbing Uluru.

    Moderators, this entire thread should be deleted.
    Everyone is entitled to have and express their opinion, yourself included. If no rules are being abused, why should the thread be deleted ?.

    Ignorant, arrogant,, disrespectful, maybe even "bogan bull", but what is racist about the thread.

    How are we being racist???

    Isn't it funny how we are now instantly labeled for having a say, a discussion, a view.....

    there is plenty of discussion about this exact topic at the moment, I'm looking forward to Hack on Thursday night.

    I'm certainly far from racist but I do have an opinion........

    Such blatant disrespect towards another cultures beliefs is racist.

    My Grand Parents did it when it was Ayers Rock..

    I wouldn't do the climb, but I will happily do their walking tour.

    in the same way that the reason why most of the call outs and "events" requiring police involvement around here is "racial profiling/prejudice" as opposed to the simplicity of it just being a representation of those who are causing the issues.

    MRLandy, I'm not sure specifically where you see a racist comment - please feel free to report the specific post as none of the Moderation team would support racism.

    However, opinions are a different thing, this a very divisive topic, and opinions seem to polarise at opposite ends. There are definitely opinions here that I do not agree with, however i totally support the right of others to have their opinion.

    Right now it is still legal to climb the rock - so some will make a choice to do that. Others will not agree with that decision.... but it's still legally OK while the climb is open to the public. Even if it's not morally OK by your standards.

    This thread while not about religion..... is almost bordering on that area.

    Lets all try and keep the discussion civil please.

    Yes it is. 'I'm not racist, but...' doesn't cut it.
