Paul,
Of course the NAZIS were civilized, that’s what made their crimes so horrendous, the same things done by an uncivilized people would not have engendered such loathing.

Issy,

By you reckoning the NAZI's gave the Holocaust victims, food, shelter, clothing, work, even beds to sleep in. What more could they ask for?
Typical Shooters Party guff, no mention of the genocide that took place in Australia from the day of European settlement until well into the 20th century when tens of thousands of Aboriginal people were exterminated. What do you have to say about that?

Paul,
Regarding Australia the Indigenous are much better off now than pre 1788, even smallpox has been eradicated.

I know you are only trying to take the Micky, but what was the smallpox like pre 1788? By 1790 90% of the Aboriginal population around Sydney Cove was dead from smallpox. But they did have their shiny new Swiss Army Knives thanks to Governor Phil.

BTW, was that the same Phil who married the present Queen Eliz, he was 357 when he carked it. COULD BE.

Paul,
There is no evidence what so ever that the 1789 outbreak was smallpox.
Apparently none of the settlers caught it and there was plenty of interaction between them and the natives.
It was referred to at the time as smallpox but Watkin Tench remarked in his journal that he had never seen anything like it, and one assumes that as a serving Marine he would have seen smallpox.

By 1790, smallpox was not as serious a disease as it once was for the European, natural immunity, something Aboriginal people did not have, protected them, 90% recovered. The only ones who today dispute that smallpox didn't kill 90% of Aboriginal people around Sydney Cove in 1790 are the old racists looking for an out.

Issy you're the expert, what was the gun of choice used in the 19th century to shoot like dogs thousands of unarmed Aboriginal women and children. What is the Shooters Party unwritten policy in dealing with the Aboriginal "problem" today? I think we both know what these far right crazies would do given half a chance, but you tell me.
