Dear Is Mise,

We have our mainstream laws and we all have to abide by them.

Tribal laws are not part of our legal system.

I am glad that you understand those facts.

Dear O Sung Wu,

Thank You for your kind words.

It was a complicated break of my wrist. I now have more screws
and another plate put in. I've got one good limb (leg) remaining,
Hopefully I shall not injury that one any time soon.

There is another factor which needs waiting a considerable time.
It is the Stockholm syndrome.
Named after a siege in Stockholm where it dragged on for a long time.
The criminal over that time got to know the hostages and gets to the
stage that he relates to them and does not want to hurt them.
From memory they all survived.

Dear Is Mise,

I forgot to add, for your information, the following link:

Dear Foxy,

I'm glad you've still got your typing foot !

On that URL: the Citizenship Act 1948 conferred citizenship on Australians for the first time, including Indigenous people. 1948. Up until that time, all Australians were 'British subjects' and still were into the sixties.

That Section 51 (xxvi), as it now is, doesn't mention, or particularly discriminate against, Indigenous people. Since the State-Federal issues that gave rise to it in the original Constitution don't now apply, it should be removed.

I still love that Flag !

Best wishes,

Joe

o sung wu,

Well, I concede defeat. Your outburst against me certainly beats my three words. I wasn't aware that I was such a terrible person.

I can just see you 'interviewing' a helpless drunk in a back cell, in the middle of the night.

ttbn,

"...And, anyone attempting to excuse it including, including o sung woo, is a knob-headed idiot."

What did you expect?

Your rhetoric on this forum is notable for its consistent belligerence and rudeness. Most of your posts are in the same vein - although you really pulled out the stops in that one to o sung wu.

I mightn't always agree with o sung wu, but he's faultlessly courteous to other posters on this forum.

And I note after your: "Well, I concede defeat. Your outburst against me certainly beats my three words. I wasn't aware that I was such a terrible person."

You further put the boot in...

"I can just see you 'interviewing' a helpless drunk in a back cell, in the middle of the night."

You got the response you deserved.
