Perhaps you may know, Paul ?
Loudmouth,
Paul1405 is a slave to his indoctrination !

Individual,

As are you to reprobation?

Leap out of the stuffy attic of religion's -
"pray, pay, and obey" mentality -

Into -

The open laboratory of - "Who, what, where,
when, and why?"

More interesting!

Howdy Joe,

When Artie Phil was declaring "there (will) never be official slavery in the new colony of New South Wales". Was he by chance addressing those "convicts" in chains, you know the ones, Irish political prisoners and those guilty of being poor, just before they were marched off to "slave" for the free settlers and the government. So I take it he was okay with "unofficial" slavery.

Headline "Indigenous workers receive $190m stolen wages settlement from Queensland government" not in 1788 but in 2019. His (Hans Pearson) class action covered 1939 to 1972, when he and his fellow Indigenous workers had their pay given to the state under the Protection Act. Sounds like a bit of Artie Phillip's "unofficial slavery" to me. Don't slaves work for no pay? What do you think Joe?

Come off it Joe, Australia has a long history of slavery;

The Australian South Sea Islander community played a significant role in the development of Australia's sugar and cotton industries. Between 1863 and 1904, an estimated 55,000 to 62,500 Islanders (Kanakas) were brought to Australia to labour on sugar-cane and cotton farms in Queensland and northern New South Wales. Kanaka recruitment often involved forced removal from their homes. This practice of kidnapping labour was known as ‘blackbirding’ (‘blackbird’ was another word for slave).

Paul, so according to you a fort in Europe, automatically had to be a Christian one.
So there was not a lot of argy bargy and wars and take overs.
So according to you, Europe always belonged to the Christians, and there was never any foreign aggressors invading, settling or taking over any of the European assets or cities.
Europe was the ONLY place on Earth where other religions or races did not invade or take control of, ever.
Strange because I thought there was, and that the military posts and strongholds were the first to fall and be taken over, and then rebuilt to accommodate the invaders.
Ah well, there you go.

obey" mentality -
Foxy,
