: should go somewhere they think is better.
No need for that John, Australia is big enough for the likes of you.
: They won’t, of course, because in their rare
: honest moments, they realise just how good
: it is to be Australian.
Where we can express an opinion about Australia day? Yes, it is good.
: In passing, I fail to see the religious or
: moral content in this discussion; quoting
: from Eureka Street, with its marked secular
: leftist bent doesn’t justify its use on this
: board.
That's OK, John, I fail to see the value of giving us the benefit of the opinions of The Lepanto Institute and Milo Yiannopoulos but they have a talent for 'arousing interest'.
: Arguing over minor differences regarding
: historical dates, as Measham does in her
: early paragraphs, is pure sophism. For
: decades January 25th has been, with whatever
: degree of arbitrariness is alleged, accepted
: as the day on which we celebrate our nation,
: and has been unifying for those seeking
: unity. Others, despite their protestations,
: do not want unity, as they thrive on
: division.
A very divisive view of others who have a different opinion to you, I think.
: Measham bleats: Australia Day excludes
: Indigenous peoples past and present, and
: casually erases the incalculable cost that
: underwrote this country, which they continue
: to pay. In what way does Australia Day
: exclude indigenous people, except those who
: might choose to exclude themselves? And in
: what way are they still paying?
I see you've not lost your exceptional talent for the loaded question, John.
Glad my post 'aroused your interest'.
