In 1701, aJesuit Priest wrote a letter to the King of Spain in which he mentions 3 natives from the north of Australia being picked up in the open sea in a bark canoe & taken to safety in manila.
So, could it be that Aborigines invaded the Philippines before the Europeans invaded Australia ?

BUT might I suggest going easy on some of us when it comes to defending Foxy.
ALTRAV,
I get the feeling another Nancy Pelosi the venom spitter is in the making !

Paul,

you pathetic moron, why do you persist in displaying your childish, petulance?
If you were not so "quick to pick", you would have noted that I was not sucking up to anyone and especially for myself, but I clearly used the words "some of us", which, if you were ever a little more even handed and reasonable would see it is a general term to encapsulate more than just myself.
Why on earth would I comment on something aimed at others, when I am not specifically mentioned?
The answer is, because in YOUR mind, YOU would like to imagine me sucking up to Joe.
Ironic, that you had to jump to the keyboard and put your foot in your mouth again, when the evidence of both you and Foxy, CONTINUALLY sucking up to others actually is a thing and has been going on forever.
You couldn't help yourself, by just doing so again in your last post.
Oh and BTW, I believe I was very clear in my posting, and I definitely was NOT sucking up to Joe, as opposed to you and Co.
I made sure he was clear about my point and directed comments accordingly.
YOU, decided I was sucking up, for whatever reason you drummed up in your own mind.
Mate stop shooting yourself in the foot, if the adjudicators aren't sick and tired of you and your continual badgering and picky, annoying rhetoric, EVERYONE ELSE IS!

'
runner, you never fail do you.

And Jesus said unto the little children; "Go forth and kick the crap out of the Afghans." Did you ever consider such a person might be mentally deranged, Afghan or not.'

have you ever considered Paul it might say more about the 'experts' who let this man out of gaol 12 days after raping a 13 year old girl to do it again. Might also be a hint that a little bit of selective immigration might also display an ounce of wisdom.

Paul_etc who, perhaps more than any other poster here, is prone to making widely incorrect assertions, demands

"That may well be true. a distinct possibility, but where is your evidence, or like so much of your dribble are you making this claim up as well."

We've been here before on this exact same issue.
I've mentioned it before.
He's asked for evidence before.
I've provided evidence before.
He's ignored that evidence before.

He just doesn't want it to be true, and that, for Paul, is the same thing as it not being true.

As to the evidence, I've previously pointed him to Blainey's "Triumph of the Nomads", to various Lyndal Ryan essays, and to the J. Brook essay "The Confusions of Pleasure: Commerce and Culture in Ming China".

I'd also mention that geneticists researching the the lost legions of Carrhae found unaccounted for Australian Aboriginal DNA in some current Chinese populations.

But the facts don't bother Paul. After all he's fallen for the Pig-Iron Bob malarkey and myriad other tall tales from the left.

..."like so much of your dribble are you making this claim up as well."

Of course, Paul's never shown where I've just made up claims.

Pretty funny when someone makes up claims about made-up claims.

The logic of that will go over Paul's head.

The utter lack of compassion from the usual apologists for two young girls raped is revealing.

mhaze,

Again you've missed the point. Nobody was defending
criminals and men who rape. The objection was to
runner's picking on just one ethnic type of crim.
And as pointed out there are many others of various
types. Pointing that out does not mean that any one is
depending rapists. What is revealing is that you think
we are.

Tsk, tsk. Point out when we're wrong - not when you are.
