It's not and they don't.

Off on a 'personal responsibility rant, again. 

News flash: the entire globe is suffering an obesity and diabetes epidemic, because the global junk-food industry is exploiting ignorance.

And you continue to argue GIGO, as noted above.

Solving the lack of employment problem is indeed vital.

That' means getting rid of the current evil NAIRU-based  poverty-industry/'welfare safety net'.   

Quote:


Yes, there are always some people (often women)  who try to improve community conditions, while others succumb to conditions  trpically seen  in poverty ghettos  (crime, poor behaviours etc).

Quote:


You would be imaging wrongly, as noted re the entire globe, above.

And fresh fruit and vegetables aren't affordable  on the dole, least of all in remote communities.

So it's not racist to say that all the Other fatties and diabeties etc are 'not knowledgeable enough' to know what's good for them?

They all do it anyway.....  you must be very wary of trying to cast open and free discussion of REAL issues as some ephemeral fairytale thing called 'racism'.  If you listen to that kind of syrene singing, you will come to believe that the bloke who stole ten cars and murdered his wife after a series of neglects and abuses of his children is only sent to prison due to 'racism' - same as these little darlings of ten - none of whom would be in 'juvie' unless they were repeat offenders of serious crimes..... and who are clearly headed, without Intervention™, for a life of revolving door incarceration that their 'loving people' will cry is 'racist' ad somehow wrong regardless of the crimes committed.

You cannot have it that way.  Choose your 'side' carefully, Grasshopper - the tide of history and reality has turned up there (Kazaly)...... best be onboard that train or miss it entirely... you can't straddle a six feet high brick fence topped with razor wire and broken bottles... and and always remember - it is not the Majority who choose this to be about two sides, one aiming for minority supremacy over everything ................. they've already said so........

Poor petal. You were the one brought climate to the aboriginal thread. Except where I mentioned "climate reparations", and not something to which you replied.  And then came your claims about "climate hoax" and "clean pollution" theories. And got exposed with your fraudulent claims. Just the headlines, can't read the papers?

So he doesn't like the thread title and still posts on it.

Crippled Conservative brain, likes to compartmentalize complex socio-economic issues.

Deplorable.

Closing the gap*, crime, criminal responsibility - are all interconnected, with causes and effects which need to be understood to fix the associated problems. 

* black-youth have higher rates of crime than non-black youth.

I have to respond. You are not thinking about this objectively.

What I noticed about the sore-throat virus of international reputation from 2019 to 2023 (and this year, too) was the fact that victims of the virus tend to get sick to the point that they don't recover quickly. I have had coronavirus about 3 times in the last 30 years. Some of the symptoms include nausea, headaches, vomiting, and forgetfulness. The recovery process includes getting a mild common cold so that your immune system gets a boost and then coincides its immune response system to produce antibodies to be able to handle a similar coronavirus condition.

You get bed rest. You can either drink alcohol or some kind of citrus juice. And you don't eat junk food for months.

In indigenous communities, junk food is reasonably available. It is what keeps the indigenous families somewhat happy. The diabetes of various indigenous people is what keeps them from going outdoors and picking fights. But these people are not allowed alcohol, in certain parts of the country. They. cannot. handle. alcohol.

Most people in Australia either do not know OR do not care about the health of indigenous Australians. Proportionately, indigenous people do not live in great presence in metropolitan areas. You could imagine the likes of Anthony Albanese being absolutely clueless in dealing with indigenous issues. You may well have viewed footage of Mr Albanese with that glum, sour grapes expression. He was near-absolutely unaware of how to deal with indigenous Australian people. As far as he is concerned, indigenous people are as white as he is, but poorer.

You could tell indigenous Australians how to eat healthy as much as you are tolerant to repeat yourself. You could be the best nutritionist of all time and be dedicated to helping alleviate diabetes in indigenous communities. But, as long as indigenous people do not give enough of a crap about improving their lives, they are not going to give a damn about eating a high proportion of their meals that include fruits and vegetables.

For all I care, the remote communities of indigenous Australians could use their tax-free payment of $52,000 a year on eating junk food. The more diabetics in their communities, the less likely they will want to beat up their wives and be able to sire another generation of unwanted children who go on to continue the cycle.

To wit, perhaps coronavirus patients should have isolated in indigenous communities and let the indigenous people develop their own natural immunity to the coronavirus. It would have shut them up for a few months, that is for sure.

Donald Trump is, genuinely, a "woke" person. The problem is that he is about 15 years too old to be president. Had he been born in 1961, he might well make for a good Republican president. But, you are dealing with someone who is 77 years old and tells some long-winded stories because of his autism. I can tell, because I go on with long-winded stories and can read between the lines, too.

As for your allegations that people from dysfunctional families rarely have their children make it to high school, that is rubbish. My family happened to earn about $15,000/yr above the poverty level. Had it not been for a few moments of PTSD inducing incidents during my childhood and teenage years, I would have started working an after-school job at age 14. But, I waited until I was 16 when I just did a paper route for $20/week ($50/week in today's terms). Then I became a delivery driver after graduating high school. My sister graduated high school. Then my spoiled idiot brother decided to stop fart-arseing about with school and became a graduate of the same high school. Ooooohhh... and that is the general disposition of many low-income families throughout regional Qld.

"Ultra-left wing anti-woke" people are obviously left wing. They are those frickin' private school pretend homosexuals who try to rebel against the establishment. They are "disestablishmentarians". I have been described as the "antidisestablishmentarian" of Qld. I happen to be anti-Communist. And I describe myself as a "woke" person. Anthony Albanese is considered "anti-woke". He would rather flatter the likes of the disestablishmentarians in a bid to try and keep his Chinese overlords sufficiently happy.

Drug-dealers have very good people skills. The unsuccessful ones are those who don't know how to manage their clients. I have even known of a police officer who became addicted to heroin, because she tried to show how "cool" she could be as an undercover agent. She is basically phucked as a police officer now. And then there is the issue of heroin dealers who became actual good citizens and work legitimate jobs, chucking in the dangerous dealing.

Let us face it, you think that having money is what makes someone a good person. Homeless people can be very good people. Have you ever slept at bus stops with nothing more than $50 in your pocket, and a rucksack to use as a pillow? I have. And I am blatantly more educated, and have lived a less privileged life than you, tgd. My police file is clean of a criminal history.

Again, I don't blame people for being poor. I blame them for not trying to resolve their impoverishment. Trying to use aboriginality as an excuse for being "ghetto" has run out of time. It ran out of "tolerance excuse" back in the year 2010. In 4 years time, we may well see the end of aboriginal privilege in Australia. 50 years of spoiling 2 generations of indigenous Australians is just too long for non-indigenous Australians.

And fkk you if you disagree. Cut your welfare payments, if you disagree.

so you agree that I was indeed thinking logically and that it has nothing to do with racism.  People do what they do regardless of what others think about it from a distance.... and thinking about it from a distance is not racism - it's just applying the same standards to all equally...
