Dear Big Nana,

A couple of things need correcting.

Firstly kindly go back to page 14 and read what
I wrote. What you attribute to me was actually
being quoted from a post by Randy McDonald who posted
it in Quora on 17th June 2017.

You did not read exactly what was posted. I did
acknowledge the post taken from Randy McDonald.

As for the Aztecs? I was merely responding to
mhaze's post in regards to the differences in the
cultures between them and the Australian Aborigines
and in how the Aztec legacies are cherished to this
day.

I trust this clarifies things for you.

I am constantly amazed by the number of supposedly educated and intelligent people who seem to revere traditional aboriginal culture as though it was a lifestyle we should be lauding.
Does it never occur to these people that traditional aboriginal culture is identical to European Stone Age culture and when was the last time you heard anyone extolling the virtues of Stone Age culture?
Certainly we should accept that traditional culture was the way of life in this country before European settlement and naturally we should attempt to preserve those parts of culture that are socially and legally acceptable as they are a valuable insight into history.
But to deny people the right to remove themselves from that culture or use it as an excuse for lower standards in childcare, education, housing etc is totally wrong.
When children are left in conditions you wouldn’t leave a dog in because they need to remain with their culture is an atrocity, a stain on the conscience of all of us.
When children in remote community schools finish primary school barely literate because we don’t demand that their parents get them to school and in a condition to learn because that’s not part of culture, we as a society have failed.
When culture, or it’s destruction, is used as an excuse for everything from prison rates to educational failure or poor health, then perhaps that culture needs to go the same way of European Stone Age culture.

Foxy, I don’t care if you wrote it, or quoted it. You put those words on the page. If you didn’t believe them, you shouldn’t have pasted them.

ALTRAV,

With the greatest respect to you, I have to say that you are still enabling the woman. How you and other reasonable posters can be bothered trying to reason with the egomaniac is beyond me. This is Online Opinion, not Online Battling a Wack Job. Let's get back to expressing our opinions, no matter who likes or dislikes them, without constant back a forth bullshite that is not going to change anything or anyone. The world doesn't swing on what a dozen or so posters think about anything.

ttbn,

I do agree with you and am inclined to appologise, only because I can't help myself.
As I tried to explain to foxy, that firstly her OPINIONS are not her opinions.
Secondly as Big Nana just pointed out, if your going to post something, have the conviction of the message, don't say it was someone else's opinion.
Thirdly, I cannot let a breach of any kind be allowed to go unchallenged because it will be construed as correct or acceptable.
I'm with you guys on this one, but how does one stop misinformation being promoted.
She will make a comment and no matter how many times or people challenge and try to correct her, she is like a broken record and merely keeps repeating the same material ad nauseam.
This is not the act of a mature and objective person, but one of an immature, petulant child.
I am torn that she steadfastly refuses to open her eyes and at least give some consideration to the propositions thrown at her constantly.
And finally her bragging about one of her topics garnering over 400 postings.
She refuses to see that nearly all of them are challenges to her comments, and not, as she would like us to believe, in finding her topic interesting.

Foxy,

If it walks like a duck!!

If anyone claims "if "political correctness" is the first cry out of someone's mouth then the chances are that that person is part of the problem, not the solution."

Then that person is part of the problem.

Try reason instead of stupid quips.
