No one has ever said that I should not be able to adopt or am an unfit parent because I am a white heterosexual male Unless you've used drugs, shown a pattern of abuse, or are a bat**** crazy liberal...
but NOT in Australia,Muticulturalism works very well indeed...You see Slick what you really mean is that you want is a WHITE CHRISTAN SOCIETY,A RACIST SOCIETY...I WONDER WHAT NATIVE AMERICANS ATTITUDE WOULD BE IF THEY THOUGHT LIKE YOU...…….I WILL TELL YOU,LET's kick out all these white European debased Christians out...You see Slick it is all a matter of perception from where you stand...your comment is Purile and Racist...THAT IS WHAT IS UNFAIR AND UNWORKABLE...COME TO PARADISE AND SEE WHAT LIFE,AN INCLUSIVE LIFE CAN BE LIKE....YOU WOULD BE MUCH HAPPIER,and think NO GUNS and NO WEIRDNESS...in a word FREEDOM OF BODY AND MIND....steve
That sounds like something you would read in The Onion.
The USA is more ethnically, racially, culturally and religiously diverse than it has ever been in our history. If diversity is a good thing, then the USA should be a better country in its better condition economically and socially with people the happiest they have ever been.
Has diversity benefited the USA?
Nearly but it is still on going in every aspect but we together will succeed<>It is clearly obvious that you have little understanding of Australia/ns BUT WHAT'S NEWSo, you have righted the wrongs done to the Australian aborigines? How did you do that so quickly, and without anyone else noticing?

HAVE YOU RIGHTED WRONGS TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS...NOPE AND YOU NEVER HAVE OR WILL....YOU ARE ON A HIDING TO NOTHING...RACIST
HOW YOU GET TO THINK THAT WE ARE NEARLY RACISTS FROM MY PROSE,BAFFLE'S ME....I KNOW MANY AMERICANS ARE MYOPIC IN VIEW AND MIND,METHINKS YOU COULD BE ONE OF THEM...steveNearly, you say. What does that mean? You accuse me of being racist, are you saying you are nearly not racist? What do you know of the treaty's signed here? Those who claim Native American status rule their own reservations and may leave or stay, as they choose. Did you know that, or are you somehow ignorant of America? And as you write, what is new?

Well, Steve, I got it from this...

You wrote that didn't you? Also, I congratulated you for being nearly not racist. Then you bring up being myopic?
Just so I don't get trapped into an anti-Australia corner, I say here, I have a great deal of respect and affection for our Australian cousins. I just don't like being kicked while we in the United States struggle with our social problems.

Puma,my apologies I did not explain myself properly...also the insulting back-hander I gave you but hey no real harm.I hope.
Our White History against the First Peoples (there were over 1600 different tribes(for use of a better word) and 700 different languages when Captain Cook arrived here(in fact the Dutch and French had landed here earlier) Our treatment of the Aborigines albeit in a different epoch was disgusting,but this was the mentality(throughout all colonialism of the time)BUT NO EXCUSE
We have worked very hard to draw both communities together,it is a long and difficult process,THIS IS WHAT I MEAN BY NEARLY but we firstly have SAID SORRY FOR THE PAST,moreover with Government support improve Aboriginal Heath and Education but we have much to do still.
Today most Aussie just treat First People of this beautiful land,not forgetting the Aboriginal race have been here over 60,000 years and have survived,longer than any other
Today we see their Culture as very important to our Nation,it is taught in all schools from day one....A list of some of the outstanding achievement of Aussies of First People Ancestory(we don't specifically call them Aboriginies anymore like all people in this Multicutural Country...we are all just called Aussies(unlike you,in America...African Americans,White Americans,Irish Americans,Jewish,Korean,Russian and so on Americans)
I digress...Aboriginal ART<>DANCE<>MUSIC<>SPORTING ACHIEVMENT,OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALISTS,WORLD SURFING CHAMPIONS,SUPERB AUSSIE RULES PLAYERS ETC,EDUCATIONISTS,BUSINESS THE LIST GOES ON AND ON
TIMES HAVE CHANGED,IN AUSTRALIA INPARTICULAR,WE ARE VERY ADVANCED IN VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING...WE ARE A HAPPY PEOPLE,ARE A FAIR PEOPLE Puma AND YOU WOULD BE ALWAYS WELCOME AT MY/OUR TABLE...steve
I appreciate the invitation to your table, and feel honored.
I could only ask that you consider there are folks like myself(and you)who have seen the problems and are working to correct them. I have been in that camp since the 60's.
Like Australia, we have been a desirable place to live for a long time and blending the different cultures hasn't been easy, as you will know.
I would like to leave it with you as this; we in the United States will get there, together. Maybe not as fast as could be, but someday for sure and forever! The ugly history with the American Indian can't be undone, but every consideration is given. They can assimilate or not, as they choose.
Your friend in then Northern hemisphere.

CP
P.S. I've seen your maps, you know they are upside down, right?:2razz:
THANK you Puma,you know you are always WELCOME,North or South...it all has to do with Gravitational Pull,let me remind you,anyhow "DOWNUNDER" is fine,from our.... awkward beginning Puma,You can call me a friend,but
I prefer the Australian vernacular...to me YOU ARE A Mate,Matey...Now we're talking....SOON FORWARD...steve
I always watch out for people who don't like diversity. It's an easy red flag to spot.
If it weren't for diversity this country wouldn't exist. And neither would this forum.
Sort of. Though either could exist without diversity. I embrace diversity and find it so very interesting. But, just for sake of total truth. your premise is not proven and could be false. Right?
Regards,
Cp
Wrong. That goes against what our country is all about.
Diversity has always been great for this nation, until liberals started to race-bait every chance they get.
Take a look at a picture of congressional republicans and put it next to a picture of the democrats in congress. Notice anything? Correct, the GOP is overwhelmingly white men and the democratic party is a make up of america, we even finally got a real native american in congress and a korean person, a transgender, gays, and straights. What do you guys on the right have? Mostly white men. Yup, it's those race baiting liberals ruining everything...or as our now current governor of florida said about his black democratic opponent...do you really want him in tallahassee monkeying things up.
Diversity can be a good thing. I think we suffer from reverse diversity to some degree. Meaning we assume diversity is always good and therefore those of the diverse groups are somehow always correct. The left is a perfect example. They are diverse, they are welcoming, they are open minded. At least until you don't agree with them.
Yes, we are bigoted against the KKK and similar groups. Who would have thunk!
