Dear Shaggy Dog,
There are some great matches for blue eyes at the link I gave earlier: http://bwtribal.com/collections/unisex-fishing-polos My brother bought me the sea turtle and pelican ones and I've received so many comments on them. Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 8 July 2023 3:01:13 PM

mhaze,
A short list of 10 Aboriginal massacres in a single year where the population as it was, is shown to have been decimated by that 1:270 number you quoted, in a population of 800,000 that's about 3,000. Of course you will have some exceedingly bad years in the past 60,000 to throw out my way, you may have examples of say 10,000 massacred in a particularly horrendous year. Sunshine, I admit I make mistakes, lots of them, but I don't make stupid statements about something of millennia past, like YOU do, and claim them to be gospel, when they are nothing more than your opinion. I can only assume your narrative is driven by some bias you have against "black people". "So again, do you (Paul1405) think aboriginal society was unchanged over the millennia..." How would anyone possibly know the definitive answer to that, you, me, Blainey we don't know. Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 8 July 2023 3:46:31 PM

Dear Paul,
In Australia we like to think of ourselves as giving everyone a fair go. We're told that no matter who you are, or where you come from, if you work hard and stick to it, you can achieve anything. Sadly, the reality is that not everyone gets the same chance to thrive. For example, First Nations children are overwhelmingly represented in Australia's youth detention centres: http://amnesty.org.au/campaigns/indigenous-justice/ Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 8 July 2023 3:59:12 PM

"How would anyone possibly know the definitive answer to that, you, me, Blainey we don't know."
Its fascinating that the aboriginal apologists constantly tell us that their society remained unchanged forever (swoon swoon genuflect, swoon) but as soon is its pointed out that this means that bad things that applied in 1800 also applied in 60000BC they suddenly decide that things weren't always the same. And they call this truth seeking!! Posted by mhaze, Saturday, 8 July 2023 4:55:54 PM

Finding a match for my blue eyes is a bit of an issue. Best I stick with my khaki shirts, Rugger shorts and Crocs. :-) SD
