We did better than other countries though. Look at South Africa or the US, their natives are either treated worse or all dead.

To much goon for them.

Wow.. I'm sorry.

How pretentious.
Do you think the Apartheid was any worse than Australia's policies regarding segregation?
Not at all.
Australia has a really dark history, we had the white Australian policy up till 1970.

Almost every country that was colonized has a dark history.

Yeah, I do. The Stolen Generation was shitty but it was trying to integrate them. The Apartheid was keeping those filthy blacks out our the pure White Society. We haven't had any roving bands going around killing Aboriginals in the last half century either and the amount of social security they get is far more than South African blacks get.
Also Slavery, lol.

Because we forced aboriginals to lick our boots clean and drive our cars around for high wage of a tongue lashing and/or beating
apartheid was much worse
[QUOTE=Atokniro;27951385]Tpg aka speed rollercoaster.
I'd rather reliable speed with a cap I never hit than an unlimited connection I can't use[/QUOTE]
I have a 20Gb Cap with AAPT and its never enough. At the moment its more like a reliable speed for half the month and then dialup for the next. I'd much rather go TPG because for the price, I get a lot better cap.
Some friends of mine had a teacher who tried to claim that the stolen generation was worse than the Holocaust.
Fucking idiot.
big ask, but does anyone want to play MW2 spec ops with me? Its the only part of MW2 I havent tried tbh.

There were several policies and acts in Australia regarding Aboriginal segregation from "European blood". Assimilation, integration, etc. Also the continuing debate about genocide regarding the aboriginal population during and after the colonization of Australia.
The only difference between that and the Apartheid is that the native population in South Africa is substantially larger than the Aboriginal population in Australia. Actual wars were fought in South Africa (the Boer Wars/ Die Vryheidsoorloeë which resulted in the Zulu-war) and the violence was due to the resistance the natives held against the grip.
Also, Slavery lol in Australia.
My point is, Australia and South Africa both have pasts that one cannot be proud of. I hate it when people bring up past prejudices when it's presently being corrected.
You can't compare one prejudice to another. If the Aboriginal population in Australia was as large as the Native population in South Africa and they held the same amount of independence and resistance, I doubt Australia wouldn't have ended up like South Africa did.
I guess I just admitted that Apartheid was worse. But in relation to the demographics, Australia did just as badly with the Aboriginal population.

50gb is more than enough for my family of 5, and my brother plays runescape private servers all day.
Mine is basically dial up speed all the time.

Where do you live?
[QUOTE=Atokniro;27968559]Where do you live?[/QUOTE]
Central Coast, about 1 and a half hours North of Sydney.

If only they had been like the Maoris. Those fuckers were tough as shit, developed trench warfare to fight and beat the shit out of them so much, there were still plenty of them left.
Sydney should be Australia's Capital.
Central Coast should be turned into a giant fortress where one person can rule over the entire planet with an iron fist.
Or something.
[QUOTE=-n3o-;27968594]Sydney should be Australia's Capital.[/QUOTE]
Fuck off, Melbourne is way better than Sydney.
Also this debate is why they chose Canberra as the Capital and also why the NATO headquarters are in Belgium.
[QUOTE=-n3o-;27968594]Sydney should be Australia's Capital.[/QUOTE]
So in a war the other side could just roll up in boats and subs and fuck our countries morale by taking and/or destroying the capital
no thanks
adelaide should be australia's capital
Melbourne is better than Sydney.
this is to all of you.
