Poirot,
Maybe you missed something somewhere but the white man us superior in every physical, intellectual and psychological way.

That is just discusting. The only thing that makes a man or woman a lesser person then anyone else is if they let rubbish like that out into the world. It is a persons actions that make them good or bad, more or less, not their color, religion or country of origin. For example Hitlar wasn't considered a bad person because he was Polish, but because he was a racist, sadistic horrible dictator.

Hi Bec,

Yes, you're right, that "It is a person's actions that make them good or bad, more or less, not their color, religion or country of origin."

And neither does anybody carry any guilt from the supposed evils that their ancestors are supposed to have perpetrated. That was then, this is now, as they say.

But Poles may dispute your assertion: that particular person was Austrian, and his attachment to Poland was by way of invasion, rather than birth. Sunday week will be the 74th anniversary of that 'attachment'.

Nobody is born good or bad, as you suggest, by virtue of their color or 'race', although they may become 'bad' by virtue of their religion or ideology. Your point is, if I may interpret it, that nobody is born good or bad, stupid or bright, racist/sexist or otherwise - it depends on how they are raised, and how they interpret the world as they grow up.

So our responsibility to the next generations is to be as honest as possible, to encourage them to see the beauty and goodness around them in all people, and not to be too quick to label. But also not to be taken in by victim-stories, but to expect that everybody can, and should, contribute more or less equally.

Yes, it's a pretty fine wire we all have to walk on :)

I don't know how the lefties live with themselves.
Half the time their beating us over the head with "There's no such thing as race/Discrimination is evil".
Then they turn around and want special programs and constitutional recognition for a *racial* group!

Banjo, is right. Most Aborigines live in the same cities/towns as everyone else, so are hardly deprived of necessary public facilities.
There are schools, but do they attend? Do they study?
There are hospitals and bulk-billing doctors. Do they seek treatment?

Those in remote areas are choosing to live where few facilities could ever be offered.
That is *their* choice.
You have to live with the consequences of your own choices, and most of the bad stuff happening to Aborigines *today* is their own responsibility.

No amount of money can help people bent on self-destruction.
Look at all those rock stars and Hollywood actors who've drunk or drugged themselves to death, despite having millions in the bank.

chrisgaff1000, with all your individualism, no compassion for anyone else, I see why "fought three wars" must be shell-shocked. Why would you go off and fight to protect the interests of some money bagged capitalist.

Without capitalism,conservatism and individualism mate you would be starving. Who the hell do you think pays your wages or your social security? The socialists?, The Greens, The unionists? No pal the money bagged capitalists of this world.
Who do you think volunteered to protect your right to these privileges? The socialists?, The Greens, The unionists? No pal check out your local RSL next ANZAC Day and you might learn something or perhaps you think they did it for the pay and the fun.
