CM,

Yes. It's hard to picture them as normal human beings. I've dealt with all sorts of people in real life, the good, the bad and the ugly, as they say; but I have never been able to reconcile the two in question with any real person.

We don't need angry, strident, divisive voices,
Foxy,
If that's how you think things should be then why not try to talk to Paul1405, Andras Smith & yourself about curbing your angry, strident, divisive comments ?

individual,

Try to see the bigger picture.
You need to get rid of your tunnel vision
and see what is trying to be accomplished here.
You might be surprised at what you can see.

The thing about seeing the big picture and
being self aware is knowing that it's not about
you. It's about the big picture.

Australia is a nation whose people, history,
culture, and landscape, are deeply connected.
We need to celebrate Australia's diversity and its
unity. Not divide it.

We are not the ones who divided it. The multiculturalists are.

Foxy,
Why not just practice what you preach ? Don't get upset about my posts which are from real experiences but don't suit your idealism.
No matter how much you try, you simply can't say things aren't so when they in fact are so !
Why can coloured people (I abhore that term) claim indigenous heritage literally automatically yet European heritage people are literally automatically the baddies ?
There are a lot of "my" people whom I wouldn't waste my waste on if they were on fire.
Why aren't the good ones acknowledged like the past, present & future indigenous inhabitants are being acknowledged.
We could for example pay tribute to the Taxpayers who provide the Hospitals & homes & all who fork out on a very costly on-going compensation ?
It would be a Gap-closer !

Indy, but you know you are a racist. When I disclosed I had some aboriginal heritage, you immediately called me a "CONCRETE JUNGLE BUNNY", remember that insult you dished out. Now whose the nasty one.
