Hi Trumpster,

There is plenty of evidence that the Anglo Saxons, I assume your ancestors, would hand over women and children alone with other bounty to Viking raiders in the hope of avoiding the carnage that the Vikings were known for. BUT there is no evidence for your claim;
"Chief among them was the practice of sending some of the more comely women of the tribe over to the visiting tribe as sexual offerings"

That may be true, from a biological perspective that would make sense, spread the gene pool. And the Aboriginals were not restricted by your Protestant virtues, the women could have been rather willing. We know it was common for the white fella, despite his Protestant virtues to get it off with Aboriginal women. Have you checked your DNA? BTW every where the European went he liked to get his rocks off with the local women.

Sadly, a good thread from CM has turned into a feed-the-the-troll exercise.

Actually there's NO evidence for your claim. Whereas the evidence for the acts of the aboriginals is clear eg Blainey and William Buckley who lived with an aboriginal tribe for 30-odd years and wrote of it.

There is in effect the noble savage hypothesis, which often seeks a dissociation from the violent roots of humanity that are not lacking in examples. A recent one is "payback". When redneck white people do this, it's probably called a lynch mob. Of course, the pile of 50 odd women clocked on the head and chucked in a hole in Western Australia, perhaps for the crime of behaving like human beings, never happened.

"How are we going to convince young people to serve, when we are telling them that they don't own their own country."
- At this point, they would have to be delusional just to enlist.

This nation doesn't stand for 'Unity in Self-Sufficiency', so it's hardly a nation.
We don't have the right to say 'Who or how many when it comes to newcomers'.
We barely even have a right to say what we think without being labeled something.
We DO NOT stand have neutrality, and risks being dragged into other peoples wars.
Those things mean we're not sovereign, and certainly not if we are America and Israels lackeys.

Penny Wong too frightened to ever say anything more than 'It's deeply concerning.'
We're a vassal state and a half-way house with weak incompetent leadership more likely.

Hi Trumpster,

Why we can't accept your "evidence". Firstly you rely on the silly old commentator Geoffrey Blainey, known as the Nutty Professor by all the right thinking people, such as myself. Then you cough up the long gone William Buckley, known as the "Wild Man", a crazy Pom who went bush, then went troppo for 30 years, how could anyone rely on anything that poor unfortunate said. History is all about facts, time and places the who and the what, eg, The Battle of Hastings, fought on 14 October 1066, was a decisive Norman victory that initiated the Norman Conquest of England. Duke William of Normandy defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson on Senlac Hill, near present-day Battle in East Sussex. Harold was killed, ending Anglo-Saxon rule and leading to William I's

You even tried to say the Battle of the Somme was fought between 40 Aboriginal blokes and 2 got killed, you described it as "horrendous"! There is help out there for old delusional folk like you, and its covered by your Pensioner Concession as well..
