Except from a f**king idiot like you.

How did you get out of your mummy's cellar, princess?

Except from a f**king idiot like you.

The feeling is mutual.

Which is quite an appropriate response? I don't need to know how to fix a leaking pipe to know that the leaking pipe is a problem, I'd leave that to the right people to rectify!

Who are the right people and what have they suggested?

Who are the right people and what have they suggested?

As I've said I believe the purpose of this protest is to start that conversation!

They were widely separated tribes living in the stone age.

Do you believe it would or should have remained that way in the age of colonisation?

Let's say in 1787, the average lifespan for Europeans was 45-50 years old; I dare say that the aboriginal lifespan was a lot lower than that.

No one on here has offered solutions, I have at least put forward ideas.

Britain in the coming decades going into the industrial revolution was a legit shithole. Life expectancy varied greatly between class and region.

According to

Life expectancy for unskilled labour was like under 20

Champ, you wouldn't believe how many on the list I have done.

What are the Black Fella ideas?

I believe you Pal. I truly do. I honestly get that your an everyday bloke and would gladly sit with anybody over a beer or coffee or whatever. I don't believe your overtly racist at all.These 3 Black Fellas ideas is to not sing the anthem. Them, You and I know it's not gunna change the world. I honestly cant remember whether you said you were against it or not, but I suspect you're in the don't care boat. All I'm saying is embrace their decision and actually care enough to support them, not turn it into something bigger than what it is, and give weight to the voices that want to tear them down.

Hi Maggie

 

[Front-Rower]

That is part of the problem, all we do is throw money at it and hope it goes away!

Imagine the legacy these three guys could leave behind if they contributed funding to and/or helped established the research into and implementation of a new anthem or greater recognition. But is that up to someone else to fund and establish?

Your assumption that they've done nothing speaks volumes.

 

[Front-Rower]

Your assumption that they've done nothing speaks volumes.

You throw these statements around but offer no evidence of what they have done to make a valuable, long term difference?

Buy some Aboriginal art and hang it in your house
Learn something about Aboriginal culture that you didnt know yesterday

Aboriginal Art really does not do it for me. I'm not a fan at all.
Each to their own but.

CVelebrate the Aboriginal flag just cause it will make somebody else happy

Also no.. why would I celebrate a flag that has zero relevance to me.

No, trackhead the onus is on you.

Your the wanker that made the assertion they've done nothing.

Prove it.

 

[Front-Rower]

No, trackhead the onus is on you.

Your the wanker that made the assertion they've done nothing.

Prove it.

So you have nothing?

Personal insults, tells me everything I need to know

 

[mave]

Lol wat?

I'm literally laughing right now.

 

[Canard]

Nice running away from your original claim

 

[unforgiven]

So why should they have to celebrate an anthem that they believe has no relevance to them?

 

[Canard]

Lol wat?

I'm literally laughing right now.

Yes, what a stretch to identify you as a right wing racist
