Aahh..... I think all these religious nutters are confusing the issues.

I doubt any of the world's problems are solved by religion. Go figure ?

Luvitar...its about demographics mate...

Demographics.....Politics

The point at which democracy fails is when two tribes equalling each other in numbers go head to head over control of the country.
At school we are taught that democracy is the ultimate solution. We are not taught about the point at which democracy fails. Maybe John Howard could teach that truth in history.

BD, as always I don't know where to begin in terms of disentangling your cocktail soup of sociology, Christian forebodings, and old adhoc race theories. So I'll save myself from the task this time round. PAX

Ranier...*blessings mate* :)

They are not 'race't theories..they are human theories.

Hmmm perhaps "my" 'competitive tribes' theory is born out of

a)History
b)Experience (Living among tribal people for 8 yrs)
c)Observation of contemporary and past world events..
d)I'm just plain right and ur plain wrong ? :) (stir stir)

Ranier.. you need to get a job done by an Italian concreter :).. see what race is the Bobcat driver, the Cement delivery bloke and etc etc...
Look at the supply chain of Greek fish and chip shops- the wholesalers, transport..... who they are.. its not universal but common. Same with Chinese $2 shops... Importers.. wholesalers..

Fruit and Veg... Mafia.. Large supermarkets told who to buy from under threat of death (recent headlines in Melbourne)

Race race race... its all about 'tribe' except in the case of we whities.. we don't pick 'white trash' deliberately when we contact a wholesaler..we just look in the yellow pages or get a name from a friend.

Sharkfin echoes my sentiments.

But this is too early, I'm rambling. Your own insistence on 'aboriginality' is evidence of the 'tribal' nature of your own position...no ?

Have a great day.

Like most racists who are in deep denial, poor old Boaz can't see his own blatant racism - i.e. his propensity to divide up the social world into "racial" categories that confirm his idiosyncratic view of those who are different from him in various ways.

Not only do the Americans apparently have a Hispanic "race", but now we have Italian, Greek and Chinese "races" in our midst. What's next - a Melbourne 'race' and a Sydney 'race'?

Boaz may claim to know the difference between 'race', ethnicity and religion, but he continues to express his ideology of racism in overtly racist language. Keep that brown shirt ironed, Boazy.
