That was the non sarcastic portion of the post, buddy. You really are a bit thick ain't ya.
I don't think any measure you can come up with will make tell any other story than western culture is better.Groucho Marxist said:More advanced, more modern, yes. They're different, but who's to say what makes one society better than another?
you could've known, how am i supposed to know how many posts you read, i've made 3+ posts recently on the BoS forums with my UAI...moll. said:lol.
Cos i actually knew and wasn't just guessing wildly.
Wth? I should like pedophiles now? They deserve to be put behind bars for what they do to children.jb_nc said:No, you should like a pedophile.
I'm going to report you to the police you dirty pedo
They did have 40,000 years.Graney said:There's something to be said for being sustainable custodians of the land. They were well adapted to the unique demands of the Australian continent.

you kidding?cxlxoxk said:No, it is not. The answer is they are equal, not better not worse than each other.
I will rule out your arguments for "West" is better...
- Numbers -> They didn't have engineering and sciences that we have, or incomes or taxes...they didn't need so many numbers...!
- Technology -> They lived in a simple society, there was no need for technology. Foraging berries, catching fish, hunting for food, could all be done with tools that we would call "primitive" (primitive does not exist in my vocabulary, as no culture is lesser than another).
- Cars -> They moved around, that can be done by foot, they didn't have busy work schedules and employers that would be prepared to fire them if they were late, heck their concept of time, could have been "day" and "night" (i'm not sure if it actually was).
- Planes/Spaceships -> Why fly? They believed the land was sacred, why leave it?
- Lifespan -> They lived contentedly with the lifespans that they did have, before European arrival, if you are content why change? Why is there Euthanasia if living for as long as possible is always the best thing...
As you can see, their differences, meant that they didn't need most of the things that we have today.
They are EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL EQUAL in that and because they are both DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT!
no. they were content with a simple life, we ruined the culture, their way of life...and made them go on a downward spiral and disadvantaged with problems like high instances of petrol/drug/alcohol abuse...now we need to figure out how to fix this, and make amends. however all we know right now is that it will take time for them to return to normal, if they can at all!Groucho Marxist said:you kidding?
What do you think they would be like now if "we" hadn't come here? Honestly.cxlxoxk said:no. they were content with a simple life, we ruined the culture, their way of life...and made them go on a downward spiral and disadvantaged with problems like high instances of petrol/drug/alcohol abuse...now we need to figure out how to fix this, and make amends. however all we know right now is that it will take time for them to return to normal, if they can at all!
so if they returned to 'normal'cxlxoxk said:no. they were content with a simple life, we ruined the culture, their way of life...and made them go on a downward spiral and disadvantaged with problems like high instances of petrol/drug/alcohol abuse...now we need to figure out how to fix this, and make amends. however all we know right now is that it will take time for them to return to normal, if they can at all!
lolcxlxoxk said:no. they were content with a simple life,
no, because they are exposed to drugs/alchohol abuse, some of them are dependent on it now, and also i can't guarantee that, the culture has been thoroughly destroyed by british.Will Shakespear said:so if they returned to 'normal'
would that mean every indigenous person would live a traditional lifestyle?
Like they were 251 years ago, with some new stuff. Culture changes over time.Groucho Marxist said:What do you think they would be like now if "we" hadn't come here? Honestly.
Note: PAST TENSE...they are influenced heavily by drugs and alcohol. Some like Cathy Freeman - not affected by drugs/alcohol, try to do what people in our society do, but, if British never came, it is quite possible they would be hunting kangaroos with boomerangs, which is not worse than what we are doing now, it is just different! It doesn't require a lot of what we have now, to do.jb_nc said:lol
THEY ALL WERE CONTENT
why are none of them hunting kangaroos with boomerangs now, huh
It was Britian's fault ABORIGINALS are dependant on drugs and alcohol, rather than, I dunno, their own fucking fault in the first place.cxlxoxk said:no, because they are exposed to drugs/alchohol abuse, some of them are dependent on it now, and also i can't guarantee that, the culture has been thoroughly destroyed by british.
Can you prove this?jb_nc said:It was Britian's fault ABORIGINALS are dependant on drugs and alcohol, rather than, I dunno, their own fucking fault in the first place.
Yes, alcoholism and drug dependence are passed down through generations you dumbfuck; it's not like it's a choice of a man today to pick up a bottle or a needle to get off.cxlxoxk said:Can you prove this?
...They were deceived into taking it...tainted food/water...for example flour...given to them as "gifts" (more like traps) from the British.
Everyone is saying "it was their fucking fault in the first place" with no evidence to back it up, my claims of tainted food/water has substantial evidence, look up aboriginal history to find it.
I'm not gonna try explain to you Years 9 and 10 Australian History.
