so, what you think that aboriginals should do now? follow the breivik with guns and explosives? hunt boat peoples youngsters? blow up the government buildings and boat peoples leaders?

Get jobs and raise a family like the rest of us. Like I would think anyone would do 200 years later.

Mark, Arising - are you mono, multi, all cultures are equal? What are your views?
Not on Anders actions but on culture.

Do you think Aboriginal culture can be blamed for not being prepared for an invasion?

Is the thread to 'revolting' to warrant discussion or not interesting enough (maybe)?

I can of course only speak for myself, but I think the lack of interest is due to the premise of your original question, which simply doesn't apply:

How does it feel seeing your country and way of life being washed away by the relativist absurdist views of your nations?
I can't answer to how that feels, sicne I don't experience what you describe. Anders Breivik may have experienced something like that, sure, but I don't think most of us do. Lots of people from other countries come to live in my country, yes. I'm surrounded by people who doesn't necessarily think as I do or believe as I do, yes. But I don't see my country and way of life being washed away at all. Diversity is enriching. I think your view of society is too confrontational and too focused on competition, rather than coexistence and cooperation.

Wootah, you might recall that only a handful of generations back European Christian culture swept across North and South America, and ruthlessly devastated the local cultures. And now that we have taken what we want, we're pretty happy about it, and don't invest much time in apologizing. Are you worried about this too?

The demographic changes the world is undergoing now pale in comparison.

How does the Bible put it? The meek shall inherit the earth?

Aborigines have been working to raise families in Australia for 40,000 year. maybe its time for you to fuck off back to the UK?

Phew! A point I can agree with.

( Can't resist - Monty Python; Life of Brian.
Crowd listening to the Sermon on the mount -
Man1: "You hear that? Blessed are the Greek."
Man2: "The Greek?"
Man1: "Mmm. Well, apparently, he's going to inherit the earth."
Man2: "Did anyone catch his name?"
...
Woman: "Oh, it's the meek! Blessed are the meek! Oh, that's nice, isn't it? I'm glad they're getting something, 'cause they have a hell of a time."

Or,

FRANCIS: "Well, blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo, as far as I can tell, Reg."
REG: "Yeah. Well, what Jesus blatantly fails to appreciate is that it's the meek who are the problem" ) Sorry, :oops: :P

i try to follow the wisest views. and trying to find out those. i am not very good about thinking myself about these kind of stuff, like the breivik is said to be feeling himself very good at. and intelligent. not me, i hope.

does uk queen-people in their island have it too? "a definitive 'way of life' that needs preserving against some assumed attack by relativism."? "There are only the issues; freedom, liberty, welfare and community."? sounds like you have too?

It's called irony, you can hardly assume the moral position and demand they all behave like moron wage-slaves like you, can you?

Is this garbled contribution supposed to mean something?

What is meant by 'uk queen-people'?
