Interesting though it may seem , this post , as usual, has strayed FAR from the original question. But hey, at least it keeps this near dead forum alive. So again I will sit back with the popcorn and watch the French vs the Oz vs the USA vs the rest slug it out via the internet. BTW I am sure some of these posts have to be AI yes ? Cheers Ken

No AI from me. Just passion and thinking I understand the subject.

By the way, what is happening with that volcano?

I don't think so. AI would be much more sensible, and compassionate!

Balifrog wrote Hola, hola, check your history books concerning Australia !

The history books that I grew up with had it that when Cook arrived there were a couple of minor skirmishes and then the common cold and other European diseases almost wiped out Aborigines. It is only in the last 40 years that the reality of massacres and dispossession has become common knowledge. And we are still unravellng the full story. Bear in mind that slavery of Aboriginal people on cattle stations in the north continued up until 1968 with legislation for equal wages which led to so many Aboriginal communities being pushed off what had always been their land. And it was not until 1967 that Aborigines were recognized as having citizenship rights.

Shadrach wrote What an uplifting post! Maybe we all should do what Trumo said to cure COVID. He said we all should inject bleach. Maybe that will fix the world's problem.

I think that wasn't taken seriously except by superficial people looking to make him look stupid. Remember the "horse de-wormer Ivermektin" that we all learned later was actually a Nobel prize winning drug for people that does actually work very well against covid 19 but cost almost nothing. Subsequently it's been found to do good against lots of other conditions from cancer to diabetes. Dude you now have the time to actually find out how badly you've been lied to. Use it well.

I watched the whole speech and he did make many good points, But he forgot to mention the current society in Australia and America were built on European immigrants that came to these new continents that destroyed the indigenous peoples cultures, and took their land, and left them with marginal land and forced them to adapt to the new invaders culture! He was right about the cost of living as way out of proportionally too high, but he didn't have any solutions to fix the problem except get rid of the current government. He bashed Biden but didn't mention that Trump will do the same, as has every President before. He promoted using coal, and uranium like they are as clean as a baby's bottom, while putting down Green alternatives. He was right about Australia selling the coal to China then buying back Chinese made products. But he didn't offer alternatives. He said he would use nuclear bombs, but as a Christian promoted Peace and not harming others? He is a Trump loving fool, and is a major Kiss Ass! To Trump's authoritarian ideas of ruling America!

"But he forgot to mention the current society in Australia and America were built on European immigrants that came to these new continents that destroyed the indigenous peoples cultures, and took their land, and left them with marginal land and forced them to adapt to the new invaders culture!" Grow up please, This has been going on since the beginning of human evolution and the habitation of earth. Perhaps you should feel the same way about the extinction of neanderthals.... "He was right about the cost of living as way out of proportionally too high, but he didn't have any solutions to fix the problem except get rid of the current government." The solution is to get rid of the government and the corresponding over-regulation of just about everything there that drives the excessively high taxes that trickles through everything. He promoted using coal, and uranium like they are as clean as a baby's bottom, while putting down Green alternatives. He was right about Australia selling the coal to China then buying back Chinese made products. But he didn't offer alternatives. Please try to think outside of your propagandized brain and try to absorb some rational data in this article. FF Article He is a Trump loving fool, and is a major Kiss Ass! To Trump's authoritarian ideas of ruling America! Dude, as I have mentioned before, you are probably unsalvageable due to your indoctrination and lazy approach to understanding the world we live in.

Oh Shadrach, ever the victim in your world of unicorns and rainbows. Unfortunately, AI programs like ChatGPT have been "steered" by folks aligned with your beliefs to produce biased results just like search engine results. I guess it's up to Musk to come up with an unbiased version to try and save free / uncensored speech like he has on X.

I was speaking about the deportation of British convicts, who later started a "new world". But I'll dig deeper in the subject ! Not that French did better.... Cayenne and New Caledonia were penal colonies.

Even today, here in Bali, I see people that come to work from surrounding islands, walk around with a look of fear in their eyes. They know they are poor, and not welcome. There is some serious prejudice going on here.

Unbelievable that Aboriginals were kept as slaves until 1968. The education system in America still paints the false narrative that the pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock, and the local natives welcomed them, and held a big feast together, which came to be known as Thanksgiving. HAH, And that the Natives were hostile murdering savages, then look at what the greedy White invaders did. They took the best land and even purposely gave away blankets infected with Smallpox. They even had the nerve to call it Manifest Destiny. (Gods Will)

You keep on speaking like the Native Americans were a monolithic culture throughout the US and that we should feel white colonial guilt and white guilt in general for the history of what occurred in the US. Cultures and man in general has been bad to each other throughout the evolution of man. Again, try to do something other than pushing a very lazy narrative that you leftist have become so very good at. How about providing us with links to articles to support your viewpoint? I'll go first.... Nat Am Slavery

I am not saying people should feel guilty now what our ancestors did. But just because people have been bad to each other, doesn't justify continued violence, and continued Stupidity. So are you saying leftist want a more peaceful world, and rightist want more violence and war? Is that your narrative?

Shadrach

What Volcano was this post about? It seems to have gotten lost in translation. It must be AI messing with our brains?

Shadrach

Balifrog wrote WTF leftist or rightist have to do with this ? Stop watching FOX and CNN ! Or is that what they learn in your "alternate world" schools ?

I don't have television, so I don't watch those programs. I already said before in the American schools, they teach that the flood of White European immigrants, were destined by God, to take the new continent by force, force the Christian religion on everyone, take all the best lands, put the Native Americans on reservations, force them to live like the Whites, destroy their cultures and religions, and it was all hunky dory! In the alternate universe schools, the truth is told about this mass genocide, and the real story of the treatment of the indigenous people, in America, and Australia. How living in harmony with the animals, and Planet is a better idea for our generations to come, so every living being, might have a cleaner, safer, more harmonious life. They teach that all people have the right to clean water, air, healthy food, a roof over their heads, education for the children, good medical care for all, is an unalienable right! That War never has a winner, only losers.

It seems to yours truly that the entire western world is going through some very serious churning right about NOW. Any country you care to look at is convulsed with existential and moral emergencies. 1) Germany - political upheavals with re-emergence of a supposed fascist party with the demise of it's legacy industries. 2) America - political upheaval with legacy parties being destroyed or devolved. Financial Armageddon for the middle classes and mass shamelessness alongside rampant drug abuse. 3) UK - watch the vid from Tucker - says it all better than I could. Funny thing is the population of the UK will defend the right of their own gov to destroy them and their society. Go figure. 4) France - basically totally bankrupt financially and morally with a finely honed ability to shift the blame onto their neighbors and middle class voting. 5) Canada - absolute disaster thanks to an abusive government and an inability to get really pissed off. 6) EU - Seem to only exist through some strange ability to loan each other money but never have to repay it. Ask Greece, Italy, Spain and France. EU accounting should be a oxymoron along side Pentagon accounting which is again unable to trace 4 trillion out of the 6 they've been given. Yes TRILLION. 6) The rest of the world (except Indonesia) shit hole status.
