Brian can you tell us what Pascoe means when he talks about sheds and houses?

Can you explain why burning grass to help hunt roos is a form of farming?

One drawing by a settler showed some small dwellings made of assembled bits of stick and log and root timber... the second little piggy.... looked just big enough to get in and sleep in.... hardly a shed or house.....

I also read a line that said that somewhere in WA some 'settler' came upon a section of yams growing - acres of them - didn't say they were planted and cultivated .. just that there were plenty there.... and not a native in sight from that record....

Big leap to saying there was house building and cultivation on a large scale...

Subtropical vine grown yams are not native to Australia.

So what ever was growing in WA it was some other native edible tuber or such.

Sweet Potatoes are native to Australia. They are commonly called a "yam". [/quote]

Wrong again Brian ... Wiki Quote:

The origin and domestication of sweet potato occurred in either Central or South America. In Central America, domesticated sweet potatoes were present at least 5,000 years ago.

Australians have long held the idea that all Indigenous Australians were simple nomadic hunter-gatherers. It enabled them to more easily dispossess them of the land and take it for themselves. Appears that myth has been destroyed at last - Rethinking Indigenous Australia's agricultural past.

This is the wrong attitude to take, Brian. Rewriting history or re-interpreting it to make us feel better is not the way forward. We need to acknowledge facts and truths whilst recognising at the same time what we did wrong in the past.

I personally don't see any conflict between believing that the Indigenous Peoples were not a complex civilisation AND believing that we should also treat them with compassion and respect AND that they were no inferior.

You can accuse me of double-think if you wish.

I am not suggesting the rewriting or reinterpretation of anything, Auggie. I am suggesting that the colonial view of all Indigenous Australians as being nomadic hunter-gatherers is incorrect - according to the colonists' own records. Some were nomadic, some weren't. Simples, really. The records are there. They have basically been ignored. Surely we should take note of what was written? Afterall they were the first hand observers, weren't they?

The point is that some Indigenous Australians were more sophisticated than many Australians have been taught.

Still the least developed human societies.

Also the longest lasting culture the world has known, one which invented sophisticated means of living using a stick, Gordon. Plonk a white person down in the middle of Woop-Woop and they'd survive how long? Plonk an Indigenous person down there and they'd still be alive happily when you came to collect them again. White colonists were lucky the Indigenous Australians took pity on them, otherwise they'd have died of thirst or starved to death when they first arrived. Roll Eyes

You really are deluded Brian .... the majority of Aboriginals today would perish just like Whitey ... why because they haven't been raised in Woop- Woop or taught how to survive of the land with bush tucker.

Only those in remote communities can do that .... & mostly they do that with whiteys tools today.

They are a small number of the whole population who identify as Aboriginals.

Did I claim otherwise? Most inidgenous kids get exposed to bush tucker and how to survive in the bush. Most white kids spend all their time in front of a computer screen. Roll Eyes

No they don't ... because more & more Aboriginal kids live in large urban towns & cities.

People like you piss on Australian white history when the pioneers died like flies carving out of a life for themselves. It was a fight for survival and pure nature. Don't bring some 21st century leftist morality into the realities of existence. It's just dividing our country up. People feel enough guilt as it is. We don't need it.

You have evidence to back this assertion, Hammer? Or are you merely hitting out because you don't like the message? I have never "pissed on" any history based on factual evidence. White Colonists were ill equipped to survive in the Australian Bush - that is a fact. Indigenous Australians often helped them to survive. They showed them where water was, what bush foods to eat, how to marshal their stock, how to look after themselves. You appear to have problems with accepting that truth. Why? Does it hurt? Roll Eyes

Please explain that one?

Without Black stockmen there wouldn't be a white stock industry. Roll Eyes

Australians run stock all over the country Brian. So every district was assisted by aborigines? Why didn't aborigines learn to make metal from visiting asian peoples?

Oh, dear, you really are being very tiresome, Hammer. You take a simple statement and try and blow it into some general. Australia is a large continent. In the Top End and the NW, Indigenous Australians were instrumental in the creation of the stock industry. In northern South Australia they were also important. Roll Eyes

They were employed by whitemen until they "reliably" went on walkabout........"Instrumental" my arse.......they made a fvvken stick, that's all they did.....oh, and made some bloody dots and called it art......

And that would explain why the 1946 Stockmens' Strike hurt the stock industry so severely?

And that would explain why the Wave Hill Dispute was seen as instrumental in the Land Rights movement, now would it?

Indigenous Australian stockmen are acknowledged by the stock industry as instrumental in it's creation.

And you d1ck that was well past/post colonisation & settlement.

That Aboriginals adapted very well to stockwork is a given .... but they were taught everything they applied by whitey .... there were no cattle & horses on the continent prior to whitey.

The reason that they were a mainstay in the industry in remote areas was because they were already there ... a lot of whiteys didn't want to go out there.

Oh & whitey gave em tucker & smokes ... so they worked cheap ......

well before any aboriginal stockmans strike.

Complete BS Aussie as usual ... what's being put shyte on is fabricated nonsense being espoused by the likes of Brian who believe that Aboriginals were farmers, graziers, had established agriculture & urban infrastructure & Universities etc etc.

All pre-colonisation ..... then Brian wants to change tacks & claim Aboriginals knew all about cattle, horses & sheep husbandry to advise early settlers .... i.e . advising them "how to marshal their stock".

Not that anyone marshals stock ... they muster & round up ... but they don't marshall.

John Smith loves Botswana. Grin

HIV/AIDS, however, is the largest contributor to poverty in Botswana. According to the CIA World Factbook, the prevalence of HIV/Aids is “second highest in the world and threatens Botswana’s impressive economic gains”. In 2012, 25% of the adult population was infected with the deadly virus. A health problem of this magnitude is detrimental to a nation’s economic well-being because it reduces human capital.

It's sad to think that their civilization reached its peak and still couldn't fend off invaders.

And all this pre-stone age
Because they couldn't work out to attach a stone to a stick.

Neither could the civilisations in North and South America, Africa and big parts of Asia.

We are smarter than them. That's the reason.

New research is vindicating the theory of different human races and subspecies.

Really? Genetics doesn't validate that viewpoint at all. There is effectively only one "race", the human one. "Race" as commonly used as a concept is a social construct based purely on external evolutionary characteristics. Humans are all (virtually) Genetically identical. It is what allows us to interbreed, no matter what the colour of our skin/shape of our eyes/thickness of our lips/etc. There are no "different human races and subspecies". Roll Eyes

Like I said a million times , there are slight variations between peoples due to geographic evolution. Black people and white people have different skull shapes and different overall IQ.

So, now you believe in phrenology and scientific racism.

Geez, you're moving closer and closer to insanity, Hammer.

Name me one functioning black country Smith?

Botswana.

wiki- Homosexual acts are illegal in Botswana, as in many African countries.

It certainly isn't a John Smith friendly country. Grin

You said 'functioning'. Now, you're moving the goal posts, Hammer.

Functioning involves many aspects Smith. Botswana is a AIDS infested mess in environmental decay. It's like all African countries, an impoverished s hithole.

With a stable democracy, growing economy and low corruption. Botswana has never had a dictatorship or a civil war.

And how do you know it's a poo-hole? Even been there?
