Dear Suze,

For you and anyone else who's interested - this is just to let
you know that Nick Martin, Labor's National Assistant Secretary has written a very good message - and if you'd like to send the people
of Norway a message of support and sympathy you can do so at the
following website:

I've already done it.

Thanks Lexi, I have left my message as well.

Let's hope that acts like this mass murder don't feature regularly in our world, but sometimes I do fear for the future :(

Suze.

One wonders if comments made by a Shock Jock, "That Julia Gillard should be shoved in a sack and dumped in the ocean", is the type of thing that triggers the tragedy that has occurred in Norway. At least, these 'know it all' bags of ego should be charged with Sedition. There are some brainless people out there who hang on every word that these Shock Jocks utter, and often this plants the seed for some social tragedy to occur.

PS Lexi, thanks for the condolence link, have added my bit.

Watching QUANDA a month or so ago, there was on the panel, a
lovely, intelligent Indigenous Australian. She said many insightful things, and the one thing that springs to mind is this comment:
We, in Australia are all of us, descended from Boat People, and if we cut our skin, we all have red blood".
What makes we White European folk think that we are so superior? I migrated from UK as a child, with my folks to seek a better life, we were lucky to find it. So, if I was made welcome by Australians from many cultures, why do we find it so hard to accept those from Eastern Cultures? (no, I am not all warm and fuzzy), and I don't expect any reply posts which may start a heated argument.

PS Sorry, I didn't mean to go off topic.

Is there anyway that someone could have stopped the murderer on the island?
Where were the police?

NSB.
"We" obviously don't find it hard to accept Eastern cultures otherwise there wouldn't be any Easterners living in Europe would there?
Again with the allegations of "White supremacism".
So you're asking if this talking point, "White supremacism" is a really a unique projection of Whiteness?
Let's assume that it is.
By that logic Egalitarianism is also a projection of Whiteness since it's something that's unique to White people.

But of course we know that nobody with all his marbles walks about saying "I'm proud to be a White supremacist!".
On the other hand a large percentage of White people do walk around saying "I believe in egalitarianism!".
It's like the old anti War groups like "America First" which sprang up in the early 1940's to oppose U.S involvement in the European war.
They were accused of being Nazi sympathisers as well all sorts of other things and rigorously persecuted by the FBI.
The thing is though none of them would have been caught dead spying for Germany, marching under a Swastika banner or wearing a home made Brown Shirt.
Contrast that with the Anti communist HUAC investigations, every person hauled before the tribunal and accused of communism was actually a Communist, they wore Red stars and marched under the Hammer and Sickle, a good few of them were later revealed to have been real Soviet agents on the Kremlin's payroll.
I digress but you get the point.
The accusation of "White supremacist" is thrown at Breivik in particular and White people in general with no proof at all.
All the people Breivik has accused of supporting multiculturalism and the dilution of the european nations actually support multiculturalism and the dilution of Europe's nations, they're open about it, they're proud of it...they are out on the streets shouting about it.
