Paul,

I'm surprised that you didn't leap at the opportunity to explain to all of us just why the Greens and the rest of the rainbow need these centuries-old words and expressions changed.

Instead, you chose to try a bit of wool pulling.

As to the age of usage of some disputed words,
the Old English words for 'nipples of the breast'
are ' þá titstrioelas' from whence we get the modern 'tits'. and this goes back well over a thousand years.

Hi INDIVIDUAL...You're probably right, my friend. This notion that Capt. COOK's landing was tantamount to an invasion was an anathema to the local aboriginals. Sure both sides would've harboured suspicions, muskets held at the ready as were spears, clubs and shields.

It's my own understanding of OZ History; there we few incidences of attacks from either side, other than more from a misunderstanding and lack of communication. And there were several crimes occasioned by English settlers that appeared to go unpunished? Nothing like what often happened in South Africa, between the Boers and English against the mighty Mashai & Zulu tribes. In fact, we were lucky any loss of life, either European or indigenous, was minimal, really.

Paul, what I have is a very broad spectrum of awareness of as much as I can handle in what is going on that is wrong around me.
You say your queer mates don't care what I think, well they should, because they live in the same environment I do, and it is not I who is forcing an unnatural act on society, it is them.
In saying that you and your moronic mates use character assassination's like "they're not doing you any harm", when actually, they are.
Why/how, you ask?
Well the same way you find any form of aggression and vilification against another is exactly what is happening.
Even though no physicality was employed, and yet, like sexual assault, it is still regarded as an offence to do or say, or imply something which another finds offensive.
So in your sick world, it's OK for a queer to offend millions of people, but it's not OK for millions of people to make their disgust and repulse known, and directed at the guilty party or parties.
You have further shown your complete lack of discipline and maturity yet again by ascerting that you don't care how they live their lives.
Well YOU SHOULD!
Because it's those like you with your attitude that caused a once great race to fall to such a disgusting and low and lecherous level as did the Romans.
They went from being the greatest force and disciplined people in the world, at the time, to irrelevance, due to too much freedoms brought on by affluence and "the good life", which is what we are all experiencing right now.
The time will come when all these FREEDOMS, will demand to be counted, and then we will see the unravelling of this stupid, immature, childish society and lifestyles.
My only disappointment is that I won't be alive to watch it all unravel and those responsible punished, vilified and exiled, in the process of destroying the crap and re-building with historical standards of morals, ethics and maturity.

Ok so lets say some bloke for whatever reason believes they're a woman,
They want others to treat them fairly and think of and refer to them as such.
They want inclusiveness, by law.

So old mate Russell pops on his dress and makeup and he does a half decent job of making himself look like a woman.

- But what happens if all I see is a man in a dress wearing makeup?
They want me to remove myself completely from what I actually see.

Hey Paul1405,

Who cares if people say 'It's ok to be white'?
Are you sayings it's not ok to be white?
By default it seems that you are and suggesting this is just as racist as any of the lefts whinings.

And it's going to promote more resentment, and a genuine reason for racism.
If a reason didn't exist, then you lot just created one.
They force white people to respond and defend themselves when they push the Black Lives Matters mantra.
Of course people who identify as white are going to argue that they matter too.

When do any of these agendas actually make any sense?
Where's the equality here?
Where's the 'It's ok if you're black or white' common ground?
It doesn't exist does it.

Where's that reality going to lead?

It's doesn't even seem to be about equality at all when they do this.
It's more like an sick experiment upon humankind
To completely change the status quo by supporting minorities to bring down ALL existing norms.
- Turn everything upside down on it's head -
And from what I can see none of this is really in anyone's best interests.

Where do we end up?

- Chestfeeding -

Are you freaking kidding me?

AC, hear, hear!
Good to see those of us who still know the difference, AND are not afraid to challenge the stupid, the arrogant, the selfish, and all those who will try to stand out, for all the wrong reasons.
No different to all those morons who "identify" as blacks.
They refuse to accept, acknowledge, be told how arrogant, selfish and so very stupid they are, by relegating ALL the races that came together over their past to enable them to exist today, only for them to turn around and erase them ALL in favour of being a show-off, a poser, a sick and twisted liar, choosing instead to be referred to as black.
These posers are no more black I am, and I'm of Mediterranean descent so it turns out, I have darker skin than they do.
I don't have to lie about who I am or who I "identify" with.
What a joke.
Again the gutless shy away from confrontation and allow the liars, cheats, thieves and scammers to prosper and thrive.
Absolutely inconceivable, and yet it is happening right under our noses.
You know, I accuse the pansies out there and on OLO, you are so misguided, you would reject me and my comments of moral and ethical standards, and yet you promote those who would relish the idea of bringing us down to their disgusting and irrelevant level with all the other Neanderthals.
It is official, and by your own hands, that those who have rejected me and ignore my postings, are themselves a major part of our many problems here and in the world today.
You know who you are, and I will remind one and all, how gutless you all are, for not standing up and confronting an enemy, virtual, or physical.
If you don't see this new breed of filth and disgust as an enemy, you have sealed your fate, and that of the rest of those around you.
WELL DONE!
The sick cherry on this decaying, rotten cake is, that you are all so proud of yourselves and your beliefs.
