Paul,

"Watched an interview with Joe Williams on the ABC last night just after he received his award. Joe (not our Joe) made an interesting point, Aboriginal suicide has gone from zero, pre-invasion to the highest in the world, puts a bit of a downer on that "betfer off" theory"

That's rubbish, suicides in Australia were particularly high in the 13th Century although they declined after that peak.

Dear Paul,

Suicide prevention researcher, Gerry Georgatos, has
found that suicide rates among Aboriginal and
Torres Straight Islander people particularly in the
Kimberley, Northern Territory and far north
Queensland are amongst the highest in the world.

This is backed up -

"Lifeline" which tells us the suicide rate amongst
Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples is
more than double the national rate.

Unacceptable to me SM, provide your evidence of what you claim about me. I was prepared to let it go, but since you came back yesterday, 10 days later, and carried it on with reference to me as an "unmitigated liar with the ethics of a sewer rat." I now take exception. If you and I can not sort this out between ourselves by 7.21am tomorrow I feel I have no other option than to report the matter to the Moderator for determination. Does that seem fair to you?

Just to refresh your memory;


According to Paul all national leaders are warmongers, all soldiers are murderers and hunter gatherers with an expected lifespan of 30 were superior to western culture.

Thank god the greens have never been given power.

Issy, take it up with Joe Williams, he made the point. not me. I would would not have a clue as to what the aboriginal subside rate was pre 1788, but it don't look good today, does it.

You quoted him, Paul, so I thought that you might know a thing or two about it
Otherwise, why mention what he said?

Issy you also make an interesting claim;

"suicides in Australia were particularly high in the 13th Century although they declined after that peak."

Do you have evidence to back that claim up? I nave said JW was correct, just an interesting point. Hitler made a lot of interesting points about Jews, most of them incorrect.

Just on life expectancy; According to Christianity, Methuselah lived to be 969, and many others a tad shorter. I ask whats gone wrong with western civilisation, few of us are living much past 100, are we still in the stone age.

Paul,

As you are not prepared to apologise for yet another false and scurrilous accusation against me I am happy for you to scamper off with your tail between your legs to the moderator.
