Dear examinator,
I wish that I knew what you were talking about, but sorry I don't. If I should be offended over something you said - it's obviously gone over my head. Besides, how on earth could I possibly be offended at anything you said, you speak from your heart. And, that's just one of the things that's so great about you. :) Keep on being passionate!

examinator.
You're right, my apologies. I said, "There's a percentage that REFUSE to treat others as anything other than equals.". My intention in the statement was, 'There's a percentage that REFUSE to treat others as equals'. Belly. I'm talking about people here who use gross generalisations to describe various members of this society. A couple usually aim at our Islamic members, one aims generally at everyone not Christian but is mostly disgusted by homosexuals, and one at people of faith.....Christian, mostly. I guess he would target others faiths if they hung around here long enough to get a foothold without being scared off by all three. Posted by StG, Sunday, 8 February 2009 9:18:24 PM

Foxy, Lets we forget Anzac Day
examinator, What does Australia day mean to you. Would you 'both' mind telling us what it you want pls ? This thread seems a carrying over from my last post from examinator, OLO rules IMOP. I am asking you both ‘again’ because neither of you have responded to questions about this in the past. First you want Australia day changed- The date. Yes? Now do I understand Foxy you think we should change the date of Anzac day as well.? Is that what you both want? Foxy, you want us to change the date of Anzac day. Yes or No? Let me tell you both a little secret. We have worked with Aboriginal Elders and people for quite some time. They are just like anybody else. Some want to get on with these projects that unite us all as one and make the most of Rudds apology. To many that apology was enough. It was all they wanted. However some don’t want a darn thing to do white folk full stop end of story. It never used to be that way but more and more the trouble makers are stirring and filling their heads with anti social towards whites. Another little secret. The link below is someone you will both love. I have spoken with Mark a few times. Hes very good friends of people who are imop travelling this country picking up info for Elders. ( Live Export elders that is) Now basically what he’s saying is the banks had no right to give us mortgagees because we don’t own the land. So in other words if your kids have borrowed to buy a house- or yourselves you don’t have to pay it back because Aboriginal people never gave up their title. Sounds good doesn’t it :) However it has much deeper ramifications. Mean time Marks so busy he’s not even hearing the opportunities for his people. Its just so sad- Anyway enjoy = http://www.loveforlife.com.au/node/5144 Posted by People Against Live Exports & Intensive Farming, Monday, 9 February 2009 4:10:54 AM

Horus I spent some restless hours last night searching for evidence to back your claim, you made the same one twice.
I found GY,s thread sorry is not enough, the evidence there hardly supports me thinking other than with great pride that we said sorry. However, just maybe my view that we sometimes over look evidence that seems to show some do not believe in self help may have lead me into saying something stupid. And against my true beliefs, please highlight the thread and post. ST G I understand and agree, in fact we all should avoid some posters who are less than open minded.

Dear PALE&IF,
No, I don't want Australia Day changed. I said that I didn't have a problem with the date. I said that we could keep the date of white settlement as it was, (akin to Thanksgiving Day in the US). Then if we wanted to ,we could celebrate 'Australia Day' on the date (when and if) we became a Republic. I said that I'm sure most Australians wouldn't mind an extra public holiday. I know I wouldn't. I did stress- Let Australia decide as to what it wants to do. As for changing Anzac Day? No. That is not what this thread is about. I merely took "Lest We Forget," from the title of the article in The Good Weekend magazine, on which this thread is based. Please read my previous posts. Cheers, Posted by Foxy, Monday, 9 February 2009 9:40:53 AM

Horus however injured me, twice, in the thread changes to OLO we should have spent time on blatant miss representation.
None of us, not one can tell what we are truly like from what we write, my other hobby, well one of a few is ham radio, believe me only face to face contact can be trusted.
I am very much left of center, proudly
To me all men are equal, separated only by education and opportunity.
Can we not see opportunity is not coming to too many?
But I know love me or hate me, after years of true volunteering, some from every race will not try for self improvement.
We can have a 1960s love in or face facts, we have not done enough we might just have added to the problem not fixed it.
And our actions will judge us in 50 years not our words.
However I refuse to hide from the simple fact some want only to stay the way they are.
by the way SES, VRA NSW bush fire brigade until last few years With WIA emergency services, once CHREST I just can not see how I could give more time volunteering.
But its me who retrieve kids in trouble and bring them home from police stations or far away railway stops well after midnight.
Horus retract your lie please.
