Indy, people like you are the first to claim "I'm not racists", the very person who has a predigest mind set against others who are not like you. Through stereotyping, and unreasonable extrapolation from often vague specific instances, you draw misguided conclusions about groups in society. You will believe these groups are drawing undeserved entitlements, such as funding for Aboriginals, to you its all an unjustified scam. You conjure up notions that an entire group such as Muslims in society are a threat, because of mass extremism when there is no evidence, just a predigest belief on your part.

Paul1405,
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried !

to you its all an unjustified scam.
Paul1405,
Yes & no ! It is scamming when those who are supposed to distribute funding for the needy are creaming the top layer off for themselves first.
People do everything they do with an ulterior motive. Just take yourself for example. Every post you write is anti decency, anti harmony, anti common sense, anti everything that would help society become better.
You are bringing racism into every debate. From my perspective, you don't want harmony ! You seem to thrive on confrontation. Are you part Maori by any chance ? I am asking this because some months ago I was talking with a part Maori who told me "One thing you must understand about Maori is that they relish confrontation".

Indy, you ask; Are you part Maori by any chance ? Not as far as I am aware, some aboriginal ancestry, but as far as I know a majority of Anglo-Saxon. Through marriage I have a rather large extended family of Maori, at the last count several thousand. When this acquaintance of yours was telling you; "One thing you must understand about Maori is that they relish confrontation", did he punch you in the guts at the same time, to create some of that confrontation? Otherwise he's just letting the side down.

"People do everything they do with an ulterior motive" There always is a hidden agenda according to you? Don't judge others by your own actions.

I suspect your definition of decency, harmony and common sense is only achieved by agreeing with your point of view.

As for "You are bringing racism into every debate", look who just chucked in negative comment about Maori people. You constantly make negative references to indigenous Australians, just as you make negative references to the BLM protesters, etc.

Many topics on this forum have a high degree of racial content, which attracts racists, giving them a platform for their negativity towards minorities.

Paul1405.
I must credit you with 10 out of 10 for your ability to twist other peoples' words !
Negative comments about people ? May I suggest you look up the difference between negative comment & commenting on negative incidents/events.
I think it's pretty clear that I disclosed what I was told & what I have experienced & not as is your practice, to dream up to know how other people think !
I don't generally say negative things about people but when the evidence is so blatant that it becomes one's civic duty to draw attention to it then yes, I do so & guilty parties such as yourself will of course twist it into negative comment rather than what it really is, commenting on something negative !

Jayb you state -

The other thing, on here. If you make a comment & you are on the wrong side of "Whatever" then you are going to be criticized as being; Racist A Rightwing buffoon or out such nasties by some of the contributors.

You are then supposed to back down & apologize, but even then it won't be good enough."

So Jayb - you telling me this "forum" and content from Author is a some sort of "scam"?
