Loudmouth,
Sadly, as any other industry the guilt industry too is in decline due to the lessening demand of the product because of unaffordability.
Like many genuine cases the corrupt opportunists multiply the non-genuine by a 100 & ruin it for all. Activists are at the fore front of this unfortunate business. The good & decent indigenous are of course pushed out into the scrub so as not to be in the way.

individual Quote "have you ever been outside your suburb ?" What a stupid question.

ttbn Again you display your ignorance by your comment quote "he ignores, or doesn't understand, the SOURCE in brackets at the bottom of my post." -- Anyone with half a brain can see my comment is not in reply to this thread of yours, just read the first two line again, here for you.
"3rd time question asked maybe now will get an answer.

ttbn Just a reminder you made a very controversial statement but have failed to back it up, for you here it is again."

Notice the words "3rd time question asked"

Loudmouth - I would have expected better from you, you failed to see it was not about this thread.

Here is your statement again ttbn

Quote "People who are keen to display their findings by putting up references are only going to 'find’ references that support them. Fair enough, if they are that desperate to be 'right’. However, for every supporting reference they find, there will be one that says the opposite."

You imply by showing a reference a person is wrong because they therefore don't show the opposing opinions, implying that to show a reference one should show the for and against of any subject matter.

I am asking you to show me where anyone has done this.

Philip,

You're making the naive mistake of thinking that on every issue, there is 'balance': no, if a point of view is complete bullshirt, it may have absolutely nothing going for it, attractive as it may sound - while, on the other hand, there is stacks of evidence against it - and nobody has to go searching for evidence on your behalf. The old Roman rule still works: 'asseritur gratis, negator gratis' - what is asserted without evidence, can be ignored without the need for evidence. There is no simplistic for-and-against when it comes to bullshirt.

Joe

Philip S,
Then why not refrain from comments that suggest you haven't been out of your suburb ?
Ignorance is streaming full steam from your remarks.

Meanwhile two Aboriginal teenagers died in Perth running
away from police, and communities pushed again for
government action on the high rates of Aboriginal deaths
in custody.

Yes indeed, how dare people suggest that something could
be wrong.

Emotions always run high when it comes to the topic of
our First Nations people.

The fact that a nine-year old can elicit such a venomous
rebuke from Senators and media personalities for
refusing to stand for the national anthem to protest its
lack of recognition of our First Nations people erupted
in anger.

Defensive anger seems to be a common reaction to having
your world view challenged. It seems to be an attempt
not only to protect one's beliefs but one's "precarious
sense of identity." A defence of one's investment in
the values of the dominant culture.

The problem with growing up within the dominant culture
as many commentators have pointed out is that it is
easy to be oblivious to anything outside it. Australia's
media and political structures are still dominated by
white men of Anglo-Celtic or European background.

While in reality Australia is far more culturally diverse,
the positions that shape both the nation's politics and
stories we tell about it, are still dominated by Anglo-
Australians.

In the Uluru Statement from the Heart, our First Nations have
offered a road map. A First Nations Voice to Parliament and
a Makarrata Commission to oversee an agreement making and
truth-telling process.

We're told that the way forward may not be easy - but it
is clear.

Which comment made you come up with the above question?

Loudmouth Quote "You're making the naive mistake of thinking that on every issue, there is 'balance':"

At no stage have I stated anything like that.
Try reading this quote from ttbn.
