... But that means there is nearly a 50% chance they won't be, now doesn't it, Lionel?
'Nearly' only counts with shotguns and hand grenades, Brian. You should know that. I 'nearly' missed him means what?

,,, I've known Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Yemenis, Somalis, Saudis, Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Turks, Cypriots - all Muslims, Lionel. Never had a problem with any of them except one Turkish fellow but that wasn't 'cause he was Muslim, he was just a dickhead.
I've had similar life experiences. Almost all the decent Aboriginals I've met have been in a work environment. You know, married with kids, a car, a mortgage, the whole nine yards.
I've also met a lot of the other sort outside work.
On what, then, should I form preconceptions or attitudes towards Aboriginal people when I have researched, read widely, read the news and possess an open mind?
I've also had contact with most of those 'breeds' you mentioned.
It's just lately I've gained an insight into some of their occasionally 'out there' behaviour. It's called Islam.
I've had Australian mates that exhibited 'out there' behaviour. Sometimes we could put it down to Vietnam.
I can foresee the same 'instances' recurring.
