Shamed Greenies still want to BAN Australia Day

[The Reboot]

If Julliar meant that I should accept offensive behaviour, then the answer is NO.
If the aim for this forum is to be cleaner thsn.the one at ozpol, I expect moderation and consequences for attacking fellow posters.

You are wasting your time here, mate. Moderation is in favour of the abusers. Tsk, tsk.

He's right. Brian Ross is the biggest 'Master Baiter' on this forum and he gets away with it.

[The Reboot]

Nope. I never attacked. The words used were not emotive.
Perhaps the point of contention is the word "easy". Which only meant that people got pulled into a debate not worthy of debate - that somehow greens are involved in some oz day thing.
I already quit ozpol since biased moderation allows Juliar free reign in denigrating fellow posters. The initial email invite suggested this forum be cleaner. Now not so sure with this type of response.

If he's not worthy of debate then why respond? Especially if you have dealt with him elsewhere. Just ignore his dribble, he mostly just posts articles and nothing else anyway.

Yes, but i wasn't responding to juliar. You note i addressed other people who responded to juliar. And not being offensive about it either. Might be better to ignore these right-wing forums then. I don't mind a difference of opinions, but i do mind that people exhibiting poor behaviour and not being moderated properly. It no longer becomes a discussion/debate worthy of mature adults.

[stunspore]

Heavens! Are Stunned and the Greeny BRossy ganging up on TRUTH and FACT in posting or are they just having a sob session about the lack of silly irrelevant political correctness ?

And note how the Greeny BRossy is trying to change the subject away from his beloved Greenies.

Well, i guess it's time to quit this forum. One less marketing revenue clicker.

There's no advertising here and your total of 15 posts (mainly targeted complaints) won't make a difference. If you can find a forum where everyone agrees with you good luck to you.

You were being condescending. You jumped into a thread you knew was dominated by Juliar (being the OP) and made a sneery, pointless statement "ur all being roped into by Juliar lolz". It was "minor" on the offence scale, I agree, but you should know better especially because you have dealt with his behaviour before. What do you expect, for every single person to be banned or suspended each time they made some petty comment? There'd be nobody on the forum left..

You talk about "discussion/debate worthy of mature adults" yet you jumped into a discussion you didn't have to, and made a provocative comment to who you admitted yourself wasn't directed at Juliar, which had nothing to do with the topic whatsoever. I'm sorry, but that doesn't wash with me. If you're going to get offended and expect forum "justice" each time a personal attack is made, then perhaps forums aren't for you.

[Juliar]

There Stunned you have been told.

Try to understand that you are not superior at all in fact you are very mediocre and seemingly obsessed with the silly political correctness rubbish.

If you decide to have a go at another poster then it is reasonable to expect you will be shoved back into your box. If you can't take it then don't give it.

Have a go at the TOPIC and NOT the poster even though you despise him/her.

But then the standard Greeny tactic is to always attack the poster who disagrees with them.

In the mean time Australia Day escaped unscathed as the Greenies and their Rent a Crowds make fools of themselves as they try to incite disruptive rebellion amongst the Aboriginies who couldn't care less just so long as the White Fella's WELFARE does not stop.

Greenies shamed again.

Good advice which you need to heed yourself!! This constant personal crap needs to stop.

[Juliar]

BO, well said. This sort of Greeny/Lefty HATE stuff is common place over there in OZ.

But back to peace and serenity on the TOPIC. Even people from overseas are puzzled by the evil Greenies anti-Australian activities.

Ah, the self-loathing Left. Always apologizing for something that happened hundreds of years ago. Boy, self-loathing seems to be a thing these days. I don't get it.

Most of the land on Earth has been conquered by someone at some time. For certain people it seems to be a problem only when the victors are white and the dispossessed are nonwhite. Hypocrisy? Anti-white racism?

The councils who did not celebrate Aust. Day are the few handful of green/left councils who do not represent 24M Australians. 99.9% of Australians celebrated Aust. Day with friends, family, neighbours and are proud to do so and I repeat, proud to do so.



Australia Day’s Reckoning: ‘This Is Our Day of Mourning’
By Mike Cherney Updated Jan. 26, 2020 5:58 am ET

The holiday marks when British settlers landed in 1788. Some municipalities have canceled festivities out of respect for indigenous Australians.

SYDNEY—Tens of thousands of people skipped the usual picnics and barbecues during Australia’s national holiday on Sunday and marched in solidarity with indigenous Australians, as the country wrestles with whether it is doing enough to recognize the nation’s colonial past.

The holiday, called Australia Day, is at the center of the debate because it is held every year on Jan. 26, the date British settlers landed in what is now downtown Sydney in 1788. In recent years, at least six municipalities have canceled festivities out of respect for indigenous Australians, who call the day Invasion Day or Survival Day.

Supporters of Australia Day, which like the Fourth of July is often celebrated with fireworks and flag waving, are also taking action. New rules from the conservative government require municipalities to hold citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day. A new ad campaign from a government-owned nonprofit focused on the country’s multiculturalism to ramp up support for the holiday.

“We acknowledge that we are people of an ancient land, with ancient stories, drawing on an ancient culture,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said during his Australia Day address on Sunday. “We also acknowledge our stories of more recent times.”

Mr. Morrison, who has defended holding Australia Day on Jan. 26, used Sunday’s holiday to announce a new service medal for firefighters who have battled the country’s devastating wildfires this season.

Protesters at the indigenous-rights march in Sydney, the country’s largest city, said that if the government wants to unite people, it should change Australia Day to a date that isn’t painful for indigenous Australians. They make up about 3% of the population but face higher unemployment, lower homeownership and higher incarceration rates than other Australians. Marchers brought signs that said, “I live on stolen land” and “Australia is a crime scene.”

“This is our day of mourning,” said Muriel Green, 48, an indigenous Australian who attended Sunday’s rally. “It’s pretty sad the government doesn’t acknowledge us.”

One organizer estimated about 50,000 people attended, and some marchers said the turnout appeared to be about the same as last year. Police didn’t provide an estimate.

In contrast, the waterfront along Sydney Harbour—across town from the indigenous march—had a carnival atmosphere on Sunday afternoon, including food stalls and street performers on stilts. Drinking a beer in a bar nearby, Ian McNab, 62, said he supported celebrating Australia Day on Jan. 26 because of the historical connection to the day the first British settlers arrived.


“A lot of bad things happened throughout the world, and we don’t change things,” said Mr. McNab, a retired police officer who was wearing a shirt with the word “Aussie” and the Australian flag on it. “It’s a beautiful place, Australia. People should live together and be happy.”

The country’s political leaders are routinely asked whether Australia Day should be moved. Anthony Albanese, the leader of the opposition Labor Party, said in a radio interview Thursday that Australia Day should remain on Jan. 26—noting that it has been used to educate people about how the arrival of Europeans affected indigenous people.

Richard Di Natale, the leader of the Australian Greens, which is the third-largest party and has campaigned to change the date, said on Twitter that the “only thing we should be celebrating on Jan. 26 is the resilience of indigenous communities and culture since invasion.”

Some have suggested holding Australia Day on May 8, shortened as M8, honoring the oft-used “mate” in Australian English. Jan. 26 has been a public holiday in Sydney since at least 1818 but wasn’t established as a nationwide holiday in its current form until 1994.

The debate over Australia Day has parallels to shifting attitudes about Columbus Day in the U.S. That holiday honors the arrival of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus to the Americas in 1492 but is being recast as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in some places.

There is no disputing that indigenous Australians were violently kicked off their land, said Joy Damousi, a history professor at the University of Melbourne and president of the Australian Historical Association. Australians are realizing that the modern country’s origin story can’t be told without acknowledging the experience of indigenous people, she said.

Polls show there is still support for Australia Day. Last year, the conservative Institute of Public Affairs found that 75% support marking Australia Day on Jan. 26. But a 2018 poll from the left-wing Australia Institute found that 56% of respondents didn’t care when Australia Day was held.

Angela Morsley, 42, attended the indigenous-rights march for the first time Sunday after her daughter saw an ad for it on social media.

Australia Day was “the start of a lot of trauma for a whole bunch of Australians,” said Ms. Morsley, a lawyer. “We just passed some people on the way here who had Australian-flag paraphernalia, and the more you see that these days the more distasteful to us it becomes.”

Interesting little flag that abbo is holding up

BLACK & DEADLY it states.

Is that a threat?
If it is it's laughable.

The only deadly part of the aboriginal culture.
Is what they do to themselves and their kin.

They are becoming to be more a joke than a nation
A nation of ticks, living off the white people.

Could someone do a caricature of an abbo tick living off a working white man.
It would make an appropriate flag for them
