My Tribe Is Dying.

[Theland]

What can be done?

[Jordyboy9]

Naomi,much as I agree with most of what you say I must pull you up on the fact that you used the word culture in the same sentence as Australia,surely those 2 are not compatible.

[Old_Geezer]

One could do an awful lot worse that adopting western culture. It's a decent basis upon which to advance further.

[1ozzy]

//Australia hasn’t done too badly from it.//

Written by an English lady?

Try telling that to the indigenous people that lived here happily for centuries.

[naomi24]

Mozz, // So how do you all propose we remove all the folks who you perceive to have non-Christian values?//

No one has suggested that – and there’s no reason to.

///You didn’t? I can’t think of another culture that, given the opportunity, would impose its principles upon us. //

Christianity?///

Our society is founded upon Christianity and has been for over a thousand years. As spath would say, that’s a moot argument.

[naomi24]

1ozzy, //Try telling that to the indigenous people that lived here happily for centuries. //

Yes, I know all about that. Nevertheless, you live there embracing the lifestyle that the western newcomers brought. Hypocrisy reigns.

[1ozzy]

Haa haa Jordy 09:32

Any other narrow minded quip?

[Mozz71]

//Our society is founded upon Christianity and has been for over a thousand years. As spath would say, that’s a moot argument.//

The point I make is that Christianity has been trying to impose itself upon non-Christians for centuries.

[1ozzy]

//Yes, I know all about that//

Somehow I thought you would.

[Old_Geezer]

That's the trouble with happiness and knowing nothing better. Leads to stagnation and eventual problems. Besides historically invasions occurred when it was considered acceptable to grab whatever you were strong enough to grab and hold. One might hope we had left that idea behind. Or be in the process of doing so. Still a few government incursions without real excuse. Still violence occurs mainly internally in backward areas of the world. And now mass migration trying to achieve much the same.

[naomi24]

Moss, //The point I make is that Christianity has been trying to impose itself upon non-Christians for centuries. //

Indeed, just as Islam has been trying - and succeeding - in imposing itself on others for centuries. That doesn't mean we should accept it. We need to think about what that actually means.

[naomi24]

1ozzy, ///Yes, I know all about that//

Somehow I thought you would. //

For once you were right then. Jolly good.

[1ozzy]

I bow most humbly Naomi, to your greater knowledge.

How on earth could a mere human ever even think that they may have a point worth debating/arguing with your most noble self.

Please excuse me.

[Jordyboy9]

The indigenous people in Australia,the aborigines have not been living happily for centuries,
They have lost their land and 70% are alcoholics,
Australians are not known for their cultural refinement.
Brash ,ignorant, racist, and not very hospitable,
I will check on wickiepedia for more information.

[naomi24]

1ozzy, Excusing people who, in their inability to argue a point rationally, resort to personal attacks is my pleasure. You're excused.

[1ozzy]

//The indigenous people in Australia,the aborigines have not been living happily for centuries,
They have lost their land and 70% are alcoholics, //

I wonder why Jordy.
I'm sure wikipedia will explain all.

[1ozzy]

Thank you Naomi

[naomi24]

You're welcome, 1ozzy.

Of course the answer is to send all those whose families originate in other countries back whilst at the same time making sure all those who emigrated to other areas of the world are forced to return here. I am the product of France, Belgium,Wales and Scotland combined at grandparent level .....I suppose 1 half could stay in the UK and the rest of me be divided between France and Belgium...now that would be fun! I have never understood why people get so excited over the country they were born in as they probably have all sorts of other blood in them and really it is purely an accident of birth.
