Issy, when you are playing with your "toy", do you put on one of those funny wigs etc? Your mates from the Wacko Willies Wild West Shout Out Show dress the part, do you?

OMG! Issy are your really this thick?

So you think pellets hitting the body always makes the blood spurt? lmao

Ever cut yourself... does the blood always spurt? Give me strength! You say the most imbecillic things!

I think you might remember I said that infection may have killed them... We just don't know and Cook never said...lmao

Like you, he probably thought infections were demons...lmao

I don't use guns Issy... I am smarter than that! I hate guns!

Nothing better than duck that you have to spit the little pellets from as you eat it...apparently...NOT!

I always thought shotguns were for shooters who were poor shots...lol

But back to the topic...Maybe you should just do a short course in history to see what a mess we have made of the aboriginal people.

Blame the victim if you want, but don't call yourself a thinking person if you do.

Less shooting more education and thinking will assist you greatly!

Maybe also you should develop a more empathetic heart towards those who have been wronged rather than call yourself a Christian with no empathy whatsoever... Anyone can do that!

Op2: Life expectancies about 10 years less.

Somewhat up on what they were <200 years ago.

I/2 of aborigines aren't employed.

Living in an isolated area could contribute, although 200 years ago 90% of Aborigines were unemployed

1 in 5 women were subject to violence

Better than 1 in 2 200 years ago.

15 times higher imprisonment rate...

Well they didn't have prisons 200 years ago. Got speared in the Thigh & maybe died of septicaemia. Then again if the ones now didn't commit any crimes they could reduce that to zero.

1 in 12 aborigines are part of the stolen generation

Correct me if I'm wrong but there has only a small hand full found & those taken were in danger from their own people. the ones put into schools received an education unlike the ones that weren't removed for their own safety.

And 100% of all aborigines and Torres Straight Islanders have to tolerate the crazies in the world like you!

Most Aboriginal (Townies) are sick of the likes of the Greenies PC type people telling them that they are hard done by.

STOP TYPING! You are making a complete fool of yourself OP2! Are you a Boori, Coori or a Murri? I grew up with Boori's, Murri's & the children of Kanakas.

Is Mise: I've used one for hunting, particularly duck, and they are, being 10 gauge, very effective muskets/shotguns out to 60 yards.

Yes, There used to be one hanging inside the Old Army Hall in Ayr when I joined the CMF. It belonged to the CO's Grandfather. He let us all fire one shot, one Range day. I Didn't even hit the target. One of those old yard & a half square types they used to use for the .303's at 100 yards. 1962.

Dear paul,

I am at a loss as to why you even bother responding to the idiot. By doing so so often here you have forced me to dip into the drivel and it ain't pretty. He can't even get his facts straight.

Duterte is not from Davos because that is in Switzerland. It is Davao. I lived there through part of the seventies and his family were our neighbours, my mother use to exchange books with him.

The reason for his current popularity is mainly because the people are so frustrated with the endemic corruption in the Philippines. Big drug barons among others have acted with complete impunity and easily secured the release of those acting for them when arrested.

Duterte has decided to circumvent the very corrupt judicial system which Filipinos loath and bring crude justice in the form of death squads.

Anyone in this country advocating that for Australia should be labeled a threat and shipped off.

Op2,

"I think you might remember I said that infection may have killed them... We just don't know and Cook never said...lmao"

Hardly likely; the aborigines were not wearing clothes, so no dirty cloth to be drawn into any wound and as the black powder fouling that would be on the pellets is an antiseptic and in the absence of infection the body grows a protective covering around foreign bodies lodged under the skin and they are eventually rejected.
Where did you get the 'them' from?

I had a mate who had 72 pellets of No 6 shot in his left leg and the doctors decided to leave them there as to cut them out would have been too scaring; no infection set in and for years afterwards the pellets kept coming to the surface but some of the deeper ones never came out.
