    Touche (spelling?).

    Points of view are good and can help discover problems on many levels, but I don’t like personally inflamatory expressions if they are’t necessary. This is not aimed at you personally, I mean that for all (myself included). Go back and search my posts and you will see that at times I have falling to thatbad practice as well. I didn’t see mar1 as having had that in his posts, if I missed it then I am sorry for singeling you out!

    As for the racist issue, moral high ground is DON’T DO IT!; sometimes I struggle up that hill and subsequently fall short of it! I can only change myself and hope to influence others to do the same (then work hard not to go back on my self-improvement!). Having been at the receiving end of racism, I don;t like it, but our feeble minds are a wicket thing and as soon as the roles are reversed – if you don’t catch yourself then, you do it to others……

    How can we win? Constant concentration?! Do the best we can….

    Cheers

    Aussie, you surprise me. At times your answers are balanced other times you become part of the good citizen with the rope.

    This debate is of a sensitive nature and must be tackled as an intellectual exercise checking emotions at the door.

    Fact one, racism exist.

    Fact two, it is much more evident in groups who have racism as a part of their culture and that see nothing wrong in it.

    Fact three, western countries despite such blatant reverse racism from minorities towards the majority, still go to great length (conceded sometimes not enough) to reduce the incidence of racism from westerners towards foreigners.

    My point is that in Australia despite being the target of racism ourselves, we are at the forefront of combating racism.

    Comments about “genocide” are distasteful because they leave too many allegations open that you would probably not want to discuss with me in a public forum … nor privately for that matter.
    May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

    marc – your comments are rarely balanced unfortunatley

    the plight of aboriginals around the world is a public forum debate, whats your problem discussing it???

    – marc your lack empathy towards minority groups is very interesting.

    seems only the well healed escape your critisism. everyone else is weak and somehow to be mistrusted….

    generalisations about poor people, aborigines, muslims, etc etc are convenient for you and most people with right wing conservative views. lets just agree to disagree..
