You're complete tosser Brian

even the most primative Japanese culture was more advanced than the subject matter.

As were the Chinese.

And it's probably early European & Asian explorers that left broken glass that Aboriginals found. 


No, Gnads, the Indigenous Australians' culture was highly advanced - for the stone age.   Before you attack Indigenous Australians I have to ask, how much do you actually know about their culture?  How about their astronomy?  Their record keeping?  Their agriculture?  Their aquaculture?  Their culture may have been "primitive" but that does not give you the right to denigrate them for it.   To do so, is to show just how foolish your own views are.  I'd rather have an Indigenous Australian as a friend than you.  Simple as that.  At least I'd know they were hard working, honest people.  You?  You're just a smarmy racist who denigrates people because they have different coloured skin and live in what you seem to think was a "primitive culture".   Tsk, tsk.  Don't forget, Genetically there is more difference between you and the next white person than there is between you and an Indigenous Australian.   Fool.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Genuflecting to some primitives who picked up a dit of discarded glass and calling it evolutionary advancement.

The next thing will be us extolling the skill and adaptability of Aboriginals in being able to use a toilet and mobile phone.

It just goes to show how little this culture realy has to offer.


I'm not having a go at Abos here, but THIS is TRUE racism, the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.




Lol the classic but statement. I'm not racist or sexist or homophobic or having a go, but


You misunderstood what I said. I'm having a go at the cultural revisionists who are elevating Aboriginal culture to something it just was not. They picked up bit of broken glass and realised it was sharp and they can use it. Big whoop.


No, Bojack and I understood exactly what you mean, Gordon.  Now, either you're lying or English not your first language.  So, which is it?  If it's the latter, what is your original nationality?   How does that effect your racism?  Tsk, tsk.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Please, ladies and gentlemen!

It's very basic grammar.

'Aboriginal' is an adjective .. ie. aboriginal person/dwelling/tribe/customs/ etc

and

'Aborigine' is a noun. He is an aborigine.

And I don't give a rat's arse if aboriginal bedwetters don't like the term 'aborigine'. Suck it up guys - because THAT is the correct grammar we should all be using.

Quote:
The word "aborigine" is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as:

    1. an aboriginal (the first or earliest known of its kind present in a region) inhabitant especially as contrasted with an invading or colonizing people
    2. a member of any of the indigenous peoples of Australia

    Many Australian Aboriginal people dislike the term "Aborigines" because it has been imposed on them during the course of colonisation. Some also dislike "Aboriginal", although it is widely used (though preferably as an adjective, as in "Aboriginal peoples").

Brian, I've stated many times in many threads that I believe a persons skin colour has no impact on their intelligence.  It's all about culture.  If you've missed that, then that's your bad.

Now back to the article.   That aboriginals  picked up bits of broken glass and put them to good use is exactly what's expected. 

The fact it's lauded as some sort of achievement is ridiculous.  I reckon a crow or a magpie would have a red hot go at using broken glass as a tool.

Firstly, Aboriginals were not even at stone age.
They had not even started attaching stones to sticks.
They use sharpened bits of wood for spears.

They had no aquaculture, no agriculture, they were simply nomadic primitives who wandered around looking for food.

Comparing ANY other culture especially Chinese, who were far more cultured and advanced than many Europeans at the time, is both insulting and stupiiid.

Besides, it is not the Aboriginals we are questioning.
The whole crux of the matter is that just by picking up something sharp and using it to cut something does not, under any context, mean any race is using advanced technology or that it was broaching a technological advancement.
This constant drive to try and prove advanced thinking, in a culture so primitive that it still had not reached stone age is just totally ridiculous.

It is not, as you seem to find any discussion about anyone, RACIST.
It is simple statement of fact.

You and your ilk think that by labeling anyone who dares to question any old rubbish extolled as pro Aboriginal, Muslim or dark skinned as being an argument, just shows your ignorance.

I am not a racist, I dare you to call me one.
I dislike with a passion the CULT not because of the races that make it up, but because of what this CULT stands for.

As for Aboriginals, lebbos, Greeks, Italians, Chinese etc etc I have many friends of many nationalities and none ever call me racist.
My wedding party consisted of an Aboriginal, Swede, New Zealander and an Irish mate.
My wedding had over 9 nationalities as part of my friends and family.

It is you my friend who is racist, racist against an white skinned person.
You are an Anglophobe and you are far less tolerant than me or mione any day.

?Merriam=Webster" is an American publishing company, Herbie.  Why are you, a ten pound English Chinaman using it?  Surely you'd use the Oxford English Dictionary in preference?

"Indigenous Australians" is a more fitting title.  "Aborigines" simply means "original inhabitants" and does not refer exclusively to Australia.  It is used in Canada and other ex-colonial nations to describe their indigenous inhabitants.    Roll Eyes

Valkie, your racism is quite stupid.  I'd recommend you do a google search before you put your feet into your mouth again.   It might help you to understand the level of technology that Indigenous Australians had at the time of Colonisation by the English...

Of course, being ignorant is something you excel in, now isn't it?   Tsk, tsk, tsk.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Search the word 'container'. Karnal knows what I'm on about.  I'm a culturist, not a racist.

I knew you'd love the magpie comment but I know you know that I was saying using a simple tool is something even a magpie could do, and not saying the limit off an aboriginals intelligence is that of a bird.
