Dear SPQR,

The point of the ads is not Aboriginal "mythology,"
but a more serious problem - that of depression,
and mental illness. And those are subjects that
"Beyond Blue" deals with on a daily basis, particularly
apparently amongst our Indigenous people. Hence the
reason for the ads.

I'm sure that you don't want to come across as a
non-compassionate, non-caring SOB - about such
an important topic that should concern us all in our
caring, compassionate non-racist ,egalitarian society.

Not all Aborigines are the same.
Foxy,
You're right on that, many are as white as I but it's the really dark ones who are the nice ones.

Dear Individual,

Gee, what do you know -
the same is true of white people!
What a co-incidence!

Ingraining the victimhood really serves only the academia and industries based around victimhood. I suspect far more people in rural areas have been called white trash and white __ for refusing to give $2 for grog than the boot being on the other foot. Racism stinks but by far the greatest recipents of it these days is the white male. Wasn't it not long back that the fairfax and Indian media was trying to make out how sexist Aussie men were. That of course until the truth comes out when India being one of the most racist/sexist countries on the planet.

Dear runner,

Have you actually seen the ads?

And do you know anything about "Beyond Blue?"

Then of course there's also the stats on
depression and mental illness regarding
our Indigenous people - and the causes.
All worth the research - before posting.
Especially from such a self-proclaimed
Christian such as yourself. Compassion
and understanding should be the norm for you.
Shouldn't it.

Foxy

I did see one on the Drum the other night. Commonsense tells you the more you make a victim out of someone the more depressed they become. It really is not rocket science. Your old leftist dogma that only the left are compassionate and anyone who disagrees is a worn record with no substance. You should try expanding you thought process before being so judgemental.
