should he walk across the bridge holding a sorry sign and then retire to brunch with the chattering classes like bwians colleagues did 

Yeah - that story from that woman about her grandmother being shot in the hip and the bullet traveling all down her leg and lodging in her foot for life during The Great Massacre of 1873 that took place in 1931 instead has to be perpetuated as truth!!

The weeping woman on television crying about her great-grandmother being taken prisoner at the Appin Massacre (retaliatory campaign by law officers and posse) and put in the home at Parramatata etc - they all live more than 100 years you know... the Appin Campaign was in 1816 .... has to have her story sanctified.... bloody hard to have to deal with that all those 200 + years ago from your comfortable living room after a good feed, then sit down to watch television and have a good cry over people you never met.  We could be speaking of the Arabs and other primitives.

1816 - my German Jewish forebears ... wonder how many were victims and how in Germany.... duzzen madda - Hitler caught up with them all from Hamburg in the 1940's anyway... we just don't cry about it all the time but get on with things.

I had a hypochondriac grandma - she was anaemic at one time in her life - her story was that she had only ONE tiny drop of blood in her veins that traveled around and around and that was all that kept her alive!! But she still had four kids!!  At least she didn't have the burden of a bullet in the foot for life... yeah... but  if it weren't for my grand father's DNA I would have said, given their differences, those four kids were adopted..... maybe he bred 'em and brought 'em home while he was away train driving all over the state...

And the more often people sit around the campfire pondering on these things, the taller the stories get .... and one day are accepted as truth.... true stories!  That, of course, is why all the ancient fables etc are called ....... (distant approaching thunder) ....... MYTHOLOGY!   

BIIIIG Tatanka!!

Now that we've got you settled in your bullshit again, skanka - what EXACTLY are your plans for 'reconciliation'?

Cheap and empty words just won't cut it.... so get on with it....

That would be a typical leftoids answer.

In that you should include every Colonial European country?

The Dutch, The Spaniards, the Portuguese etc.

They helped colonise the whole globe ... and bring civilisation and prosperity with it.

So as I understand the lefty simplistic view the rest of the globe outside those empirical countries let alone all the conquering dynsaties before them ... should have left all the primitives be primitives?

They're phukin lunatics.

(Edited as I misread the author.)

All right - let's remove the rubbish from your response:-

Now then - how do YOU propose we all go about 'reconcilation'?  Start by giving us your **chuckles** 'definition' of 'reconciliation'.

SadKangaroo wrote on Oct 20^th, 2024 at 7:51am:


Just took away all your personal slagging and animosity - left nothing in your post... sorry 'bout that.

Tell us all what your 'definition' of reconciliation is, what you consider that reconciliation entails, and how YOU would go about it.

I'm just trying to get a reasonable answer to reasonable questions about the push for Apartheid here... hold a reasonable discussion.. set some decent ground rules by leading by behaviour/actions here..... I doubt I could be fairer than that....

Again NO - let those responsible apologise - I can only offer sympathy over the past.  Now be realistic and move to the present and consider the future.
