"Passing down information from one generation.."
Here is some information :
Murray River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The twin summits of Mount Misery are supposed to be the remnants of his rafts, they are known as Lalangengall or the two watercraft.
- Ngurunderi Dreaming – Hearing Ngurunderi coming, his wives just had time to build a raft of reeds and grass-trees and to escape across Lake Albert.

Javanese language: lalang "thatch".
Balinese language: lalang "grass, weeds".
enggal "quick, fast". ( Adjectives follow nouns).

The info seems to be Indonesian language so accurate that the spelling used is identical. Here's another, from India to Indonesia:

Gee, I must be really getting to you, Thomas O'Reilly. You submit posts directly at me and when I respond you say you won't communicate with me.

From your posts, I would guess that you are in your early twenties and you have been thoroughly indoctrinated at high school by our leftist teachers, who have filled your head with tall tales about the hobbit like existence of aboriginal people. I am sorry about giving you a reality check.

One anthropologist once famously quipped that a hand to mouth, barbarian existence was usually "hard, brutish, and short."

The aboriginal experience was no different. Inland aborigines stayed primarily on the river systems, only moving away from rivers and watercourses when good rainfall opened up new areas for hunting and gathering. When times were good, they multiplied. When droughts and other natural disasters occurred, they died. In is reasonable to say then, that with only 250-000 plus aborigines, most of Australia was uninhabited.

The Australian aboriginal tribal system was one in which the power of the old men was absolute. All of the females and were their property and the women and young men were virtually their slaves. This system was enforced by terrorism, specifically through the power of a series of painful and degrading "initiation" ceremonies where the young men in particular were tortured and raped.

That this is till going on today in can be gleaned from what happened to "Australian of the Year" Dr. Fred Hollows, who said that if "certain practices" within the aboriginal communities did not cease immediately, that with the AIDS virus, "there would soon "be no more aborigines."

That what Fred was talking about was the gang rape of young aboriginal boys by older men in "initiation" ceremonies, could be deduced by the way that the homosexual community in Australia came down lot a ton of bricks on Fred. The Australian homosexual community probably think that it is a wonderful idea for every young Australian boy to be "initiated" into adulthood by having the men screw the boys up the bum.

Excerpt from an earlier post:

When Minister B-Rough & Herr Fuhrer Howard declared that "Little Children Were Sacred" aka 'Operation Reach-Around' and marched in the troops to the accompaniment of brass bands, a phalanx of university undergraduates funded by Liberal Party think tanks doing research, DEEWR lackeys, & anthropologists, doctors, basket weavers - ad nauseum... a gravy train of epic proportions ensued.

Territory Alliance (to name one), and scores of other building companies, consultancies, and quasi government organisations set up by bureaucrats given the nod to "take leave entitlements accrued" prior to the declaration by the Fuhrer announcing the Intervention. These parasites then set up shops in Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs and outlying Island communities - in anticipation of the Gravy Trains.

This was where the resources of NOFARCE were then diverted, into the PR exercise of 'community engagement'. Continuing from there, when the government changed with KRudds cabinet, the Liberal Party grads & research fellows were booted out of their cosy little offices and rat holes at Charles Darwin Uni to be replaced with those of a more Socialist flavour, funded by...you guessed it Labor Party think tanks, but the DEEWR lackeys, QANGO's & other parasites remained until they milked the host dry, fell off, or had been given the nod to return shortly after the mandatory 2 yrs elapsed (after getting lovely redundancies) as advisers to government agencies.

The problems won't go away until we realise that "throwing money" at it doesn't solve anything.

All of the females and were their property and the women and young men were virtually their slaves. This system was enforced by terrorism, crucifying boomerang thieves , hanging kangaroos upside down by their toe nails, burning Uluru , forcing mothers to give their milk to the war lords, playing soccer with straight males' heads, cross-breeding crocodiles with bandicoots and singing flat.

Dear LEGO,

.

I am back on stream and can now take up our conversation where we left off on page 7 of this thread.

You wrote:

« Unlike the authors of "The Bell curve", no left wing cognitive metrician is ever going to produce data that proves that all races are equal in intelligence »
.

The correct title of the book you refer to is “The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life”. As the authors indicate in the preface: “This book is about differences in intellectual capacity among people and groups and what those differences mean for America's future”.

They conclude: “It is time for America once again to try living with inequality, as life is lived: as understanding that each human being has strengths and weaknesses, qualities we admire and qualities we do not admire, competencies and incompetences, assets and debits; that the success of each human life is not measured externally but internally; that of all the rewards we can confer on each other, the most precious is a place as a valued fellow citizen”.

That may be so, but it is not necessarily due to what the authors consider to be a difference in “race” but due to cultural, social and economic factors.

The book was published 22 years ago, in 1994, by a psychologist, Richard J. Herrnstein, and a political scientist, Charles Murray. They place the debate clearly in the domain of psychology and politics, not in the domain of the physical sciences. Modern genetics, in particular, has some interesting things to say on the subject. It confirms the fact that the concept of “race” is a social construct, not a biological reality.

In addition to the brief Lewontin 2006 article I indicated in my previous post (which I understand you relished with a resounding burst of joy) I am sure you will be even more thrilled to read the following synopsis of Robert Wald Sussman’s 2014 book “The Myth of Race: The Troubling Persistence of an Unscientific Idea” which appeared in Newsweek on 11 August, 2014 :

An interesting change position there, LEGO.

<<If the Australian aborigines had had cattle, sheep, goats and chickens, as well as rice, wheat, oats, sorghum,apples, and oranges … it would have been they who would have first creatednuclear weapons, and gone on to spread their civilisation and influence around the world>>

Even if it is to make the unfounded claim that Aborigines hadn’t evolved “higher learning abilities”: http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Robert_Sternberg2/publication/8089268_Intelligence_Race_and_Genetics/links/09e4150d72eda62d14000000.pdf

You’re right about one thing, though: all the intelligence in the world is unlikely to mean squat if the environment is not right.

It appears your racial theories change depending on what it is that you want to argue. Your standard line has traditionally been that Aborigines remained “uncivilised” because they were just too dumb to advance:

"But you get characters ... who hate anybody who is successful, and they reflectively apologise for every dysfunctional culture that is collectively just too dumb to do what the whites and the Asians have done." (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=17758#314311)

But there is not causal factor in that, so this time you switch the chicken and the egg around because, at the end of the day, it still means that Aborigines are dumb.
