I get that your version of the quote may have been too modified to recognize.

…also, not exactly a “cool guy move” of you to post this, especially without removing the account details. So this guy could have had a bad day or something, and any extra grief they’re getting because of this post is on you bud.

There are no winners in this little war over nothing, and that’s not something to be proud of.

I’d watch it.

…yes, which is what the military industrial complex wants, which is why they developed the virus! It creates a forever war, with no real victims. Only an ever expanding number of enemy combatants!

Think of the profits! The constant sale of more weapons!..and they’ll never get into MY bunker! Because it’s in New Zealand!

They didn’t shoot survivors - they shot zombies to be. It was pre-emptive.

Or rather than soak them, you can manually separate them, oil and salt them, then cook them on a lower setting until they start to go golden brown.

How could any serious photographer not take a photo of a leopard whose also has a camera collection!

Huh, never expected this reference to appear in a Farside comic. That’s really cool! 😎

Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops …and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.. do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

That’s the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

That doesn’t even address whether there’s a market in human meat and wealthy traders… And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario…

You could really ask this question of anyone about anything. There will always be substantial differences between one person’s life and another. Having had children doesn’t necessarily denote that difference, even less so for men as some fathers don’t stick around and instead go live their own lives seemingly uninterrupted.

But think of how many things people sink great amounts of time and effort into; gambling, becoming a practicing doctor, hedge fund trading, starting a charity, programming… Those people will probably all have large amounts of time devoted to those things.

Of course there’ll be many things that don’t compare, and some that do… Then you must also factor in that it’s a trauma for some people. Some people end up not liking their children, kicking them out, disconnecting.

Human nature is hugely variable. What’s it like being a good person? What’s it like being rich? What’s it like being homeless and a drug addict? What’s ut like being happy? What’s it like in prison? What’s it like as mayor? Or psychiatrist? Or teacher?

What’s it like not like doing any of the things mentioned here? Well, that question, your post, is really about you, isn’t it? It’s about you asking others “what would my life be if I didn’t, or don’t have kids?”

So, why are you asking?

I have no idea where they got the idea the food is flavourless, not only is someone addicted to chocolate mousse, but there’s episodes where a diplomat from planet boring spends their whole time trying different gourmet foods/alcohols.

lol at everyone here just assuming everyone else is the same age as them.

I fix my own computer and my own car …for me, it’s a poverty thing!

Zog tog!

Competition.

I mean large apes are mostly vegetarians aren’t they?..

…and our larger brains are often attributed as having been caused by higher protein diets …

…sooo…

They didn’t refuse to answer, and some of the questions were designed to derail the effort, such as “Define Aboriginality” when that’s not in the purview of the Australian government (just like define britishness wouldn’t be), the Australian government can only (in a parliamentary setting where the questions were tabled) define Australian, and only do so in legal terms.

The reasonable questions were answered, such as “Would it be a decision making body” the answer being no, it was an advisory body.

But yeah, that the Liberal party wanted to play party politics with the good will and unity of the Australian people and the desire to settle historical and cultural divisions isn’t surprising and isn’t the win you think it is.

It’s just another sign they’re not responsible, and not fit to be in a leadership position that requires unity and good will, not attempts to derail the country by plunging it into culture wars.

Way to make up a stawman quote I never said.

You’ll note that most of my comment was spent saying you’re deceptive, and have to twist words… So the fact you responded by fabricating a quote because you couldn’t find one, is hilarious.

But no, races don’t exist… Ethnicities do. Go look it up for yourself. There’s more genetic diversity within “darker skinned people from Africa” than there is between light skinned people (what you would call “white people”) and dark skinned people (whom you would call Africans).

Race doesn’t exist, it’s not a scientific concept (genetics exist). Ethnicity as a social construct exosts, because it’s a mix of culture, shared history, and appearance (and no, that’s not a euphemism for race because it includes how groups dress/behave), so no, “White people” isn’t a real race… But Finnish people exist as an ethnicity, Germans exist as an ethnicity, French people exist as an ethnicity…

They all have different cultures, languages, traditions, dances, customs. Things constructed culturally.

They all share superficial bodily characteristics (as do the rest of humanity)… But there’s no unified culture or country called “White”. Nothing meaningful is defined that way other than Racism.

Like I said. There’s more genetic diversity between “African” ethnicities (and sometimes within them, even where people look the same) than there is between superficially “white” people and “black” people. But you’re just doing an evaluation of people’s skin colour and how they look superficially and saying that’s race. Go look up whether race is a scientifically valid concept. Go find the country of “White”… It’s not a thing.

The world has cultures, histories, and ethnicities, not races.

Race is socially constructed not a scientific matter of genes and procreation, that would be genetics. That’s why albino indians are still ethnically indians. They’re not suddenly Finnish or German just because of sharing a skin colour.

Anyways, I’m sure you’ll misquote me then pretend a misinterpretation you put in quotes yourself is what I was saying…

… because like I pointed out earlier, no matter what I say you’re going to have to twist it. Because not only are you a believer in an outdated ideas of Racism (bloodlines and purity and what not, when in actual fact we all trace back to the same people), you also have to lie and construct strawman arguments out of desparation.

It’s not surprising you don’t know Australian history. You also still think race is a scientifically valid concept. You’re a liar, outdated, and ignorant of the facts, as expected. You’re a racist.

Cool, but yeah, I do think modern western government are struggling to get messages out in the digital age of media consumption. People don’t have to go look for info, and often don’t care to, so they get bubbled in their own algorithms.

Like imagine for a sec, being a little boy in the 70s and seeing this on the nightly news:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE7YP-ZGy6w

…and you’re going to pretend some people don’t have a harder cultural background to come from, or weren’t living under the threat of castration for being a different colour. You’re doing white-victimhood, and denial of racism. Grow the fuck up, and learn about your country dumb ass.

That’s because of your political views that see you blame white people

No, your political views see that REGARDLESS of what I say, what links I provide to the Stolden Generations phenomena still being on going, legally quantified and RACIALLY MOTIVATED as recently as the 1970s your still going to pretend I’m claiming your were involved with that, or that all white people, are therefore to blame.

But you probably weren’t involved with it directly… You’re just denying that it would impact modern Aboriginal people and communities still… You’re saying “the victims we’re talking about - shouldn’t feel victimized by being, or having had relatives forcibly taken from their families.”

Your saying “nah, that’s ‘equality’ - they were treated equal.”

You’re preaching cultural ignorance of the impact history has on a people.

You’re being a fuckin Racist, and that’s why YOU voted no. Because you don’t know jack shit about Australia, which is why you’re pushing AMERICAN victimhood culture here.

You’re doing a claim to white victimhood and pretending it’s about all histories being equal. I was willing to talk to you, and give you the benefit of the doubt.

But I guessed right about you from the start when I said people jump to unjustified assertions, and that’s a trend on the right wing (particularly in America)… And now you’ve shown yourself as doing exactly that.

“We should ignor recent history because I’m a dumb ass and think no ones effected by it” -Dumb ass right wing Americans and this guy.

So it turns out, yes I do think you’re a racist now, and I do think the voice was about helping communities of RURAL Aboriginal people have more of a voice (hence the name) would have been a good thing.

I’m not a dishonest coward like you, I can look history and inequality in the face without pretending it’s some attack on “white people” (P.S that’s not a real race or country, there’s no nation or culture by that name) or a racial take over. Bizzare assumptions you’re hiding behind, just like you’re sweeping racism within living memory under the rug - pretending cultural difference have no modern effects on people.

It’s utterly dishonest bullshit… And yeah, I’m not going to spend my time talking to scum like you.
