mhaze,

Rupert Gerritsen published his book - "Australia
and the Origins of Agriculture"in 2008. Three years
later ANU historian Bill Gammage released - "The
Biggest Estate on Earth" (a major study).

I must have mixed the two up. However, Bruce Pascoe
acknowledges his debt to both authors in "Dark Emu."

Joe,

Does my evidence trump "Cairns News?"

It's not a question of "My" evidence.

But evidence that has been widely accepted both by
historians and their peers and a majority of
Australians especially young people, schools, and so on.

You obviously are not interested in evidence, despite
your claims. Because you dismiss anything that does
not agree with your views. We've been over this before
many times. And you continue to brush aside anything
that dares to critique your rusted on thinking.
You will read stuff against Indigenous people. Yet
you won't bother reading any other evidence that presents
views to the contrary.

So your insistence on any "ëvidence" comes with the
Preface - that it must not contradict what you already
believe.

An argument that you're not prepared to lose, under any
circumstances.

I'd have more respect for you where you to
read Bruce Pascoe's book or Bill Gammage's.

Cheers.

Foxy/Lexi,

You dare to write: "You will read stuff against Indigenous people." ?! What an ignoramus you really are, and a nasty piece of work. You won't read anything which contradicts your prejudices ? More fool you.

But I forgive you. Perhaps one day, you'll learn, you'll investigate, you'll believe only with evidence and not blindly, without question. But I'm not holding my breath.

Joe

Joe,

Your record on this forum regarding our Indigenous
people speaks for itself.

If the cap fits.

As for my being a "nasty piece of work?"

You "Sir"are in no position to pass judgement on
others. Your own actions are not exemplenary.
And the last resopirt was your reference to
the "Cairns News"article on "Dark Emu"exposed.

That was the last straw!

Loudmouth, me thinks she protests too much.
Mate, sorry, nothing personal but, I could kiss you!
I am so over the moon after reading your comment about the link 'Dark Emu Exposed.
Of course I went to the site immediately.
Now if I were you I would not give a splinters thought to Foxy and her rants.
I have been convinced for some time that she has been raised like a one way valve, to only accept praise and completely reject or ignore criticism, pretty much comparing her to a petulant child.
To that end, you will NEVER reach consensus with the woman, so I suggest you not bother, and simply treat her as a nuisance, shall we say, as if a fly.
As for me, I don't normally gloat in victory, but mate, she has been so irrational and seemingly negative, simply for the love of the fight.
She maligns the image of a soft spoken gentile and lady like creature, rather a crass, overbearing aggressive and egregious person with no redeeming qualities of her gender.
Sounds harsh?, it's meant to be, after the verbal caning she has dispersed amongst those on OLO who have dared to question her.
I am savoring the sweet taste of 'I told ya so'.
Of course she will, no, must object and reject your submission because it does not conform to her narrative.
You have dared to present a real and viable opportunity for true evaluation and assessment of something she expects to be taken on face value, and to raise a challenge is completely un-acceptable, and contemptible even.

ALTRAV, "I (ALTRAV) on the other hand simply question the lack of evidence", no you don't, you admit like Joe, to not having read the book. So you are questioning the evidence without knowing what the evidence is. More likely as a far right devotee you would question anything that would reflect positively on Aboriginal people, self evident by your use of the terms Blacks and Abo's. I'm surprised you don't use the more insulting descriptions.

Paul,

What's that, 'guilt by association' ? Who would have thought that McCarthy's ghost would have risen, this time on the 'left' ?

Joe
