Oceans_Blue...

In year 12 biology, we were taught that Australia was once filled with rainforests and mega-fauna.

There is much debate whether or not Aboriginals destroyed the rainforests and killed off the megafauna.

Is this not exactly the same as Europeans? After all, Aboriginals were never intelligent enough to record history... apart from dreamtime stories.


A similar story can be said with peoples from Africa.




Anyway... this thread is getting ridiculously off-topic.

Wanna discuss genetics v culture... start a new topic.

my guest posting btw.

I thought  I WAS on topic...got to difficult..oh well?

Blah Blah Blah............. all men were created equal--------------  Sure,,,,,,,,

No Donald..

We are both right it is off topic and the topic was important.

Anyway have a great day..and Aus Nat..I think your grouse. Debate is debate and has nothing to do with how I feel about you as a person ok?   


You know you can pm me if you have anything you want to say.

Love Oceans.

Well normally freediver if you enter a thread and challenge a viewpoint, I'd like to see some evidence rather than just sarcastic remarks.

When you challenge a viewpoint, you normally need evidence to back it up.

You entered this debate whether you like it or not. It's now your responsibility to counter. If you can't, then bugger off. You lost.

Right... so if you're not sure about the topic you're arguing, then why are you bothering?

Oh... of course... that's right... because it's 'common knowledge' that there's no such thing as race and that all the 'scientists' have already proven that race does not mean a thing.  Therefore, anyone who argues against it is a 'nutcase.' 
They used to say the same thing about the earth being round, jack-@ss.

-Care to name a few of these scientists, freediver?
-Care to show definitive proof that there is no such thing as race or that race has no effect on behaviour due to genetic differences? Perhaps a feel-good article by Oprah Winfrey? 

Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper, freediver? Something tells me you do.

OMFG... what part of.... "You challenged my view" don't you get, freediver?

That doesn't mean it is my place to dig up evidence. I challenged your view by pointing out you had no evidence.

When you challenge a viewpoint, you normally need evidence to back it up.

Not if the original view has no evidence to begin with.

Care to explain how? 

Finding a few communists in Universities does not back up your claim. I could just as easily find Labor and Liberal supporters and racists at universities. All parties recruit heavily on campus. This was your original claim:

It's a well-known fact that most communists and socialist party members are 'academics' at Universities... and have been since the 1950's and 60's.

DT, it wasn't me making those claims.

Of course they would have lower rates of adultery, if a law is very strict and the punishment is severe then people would think twice about commiting crimes. And personally, adultery is a terrible thing to do, and it's not a victimless crime like some people think, the victim is actually the partner who was betrayed. I know that since my ex-girlfriend went off with another guy. i felt like crap. 

But several religions order the death penalty for adultery, it's not just limited to islam. i'm pretty sure the Old Testament says it somewhere as well, just because the people don't practise it today doesn't mean the religion doesn't preach it.
