Tennessee Tea Party Trying to "Rewrite" History

[KichigaiNeko]

I not denying that the behaviour of the leaders of the Aboriginal community is far from ideal and also I think special benefits just for Aboriginals is a bad idea. However there are many issues in the Aboriginal community (such as the life expectancy gap) which receive scant attention from governments.

Wrong again. Which group has this "Life expectancy gap" ah yes the ones who insist on living on 'Tribal land' in the remote areas of Australia where even the whites are 1000km form medical aid.

I fully support an apology by the governments of Australia for children who were stolen from unwed mothers when they were born. Among other wrong headed policies.

And the apology to those unwed white mothers?? Non-existant

Back to the the policy of stealing aboriginal children from their parents, as I said earlier it was mostly based on policies aimed towards the full assimilation of Aboriginals into the rest of the Australian population. Thereby destroying Aboriginal cultures Sir Paul Hasluck a Menzies government minister and governor-general was the main champion of this particular policy.

What you are quoting is the xtian Great Britain policy as enacted by his majesty. Australia was not the only British 'colony' to have this policy.

Really Trist.... I would have thought your participation on this board/forum would have enlightened you to the fact that "You cannot help people who don't want to help themselves"

Actually I used to be really into that line "You cannot help people who don't want to help themselves". However I nowadays see it's limitations, not to mention I have realised that we Atheists cannot let Christians seize the moral high ground.

The above makes no sense whatsoever Trist.

What are these limitations that you speak of??
