Has he? Pretty sure they'll vote from him anyway since Obama is apparently a Marxist.

About bloody time too.

Btw, if you had to describe your political views, what would it be? I would see myself as a progressive socialist with liberal tendencies.
Phoenix Arrow
I'm a Libertarian in that liberty is the most important thing to me in terms of politics. But I'm not one really because... well because it's stupid and would never work in a proper country. Also because most Libertarians are fucking idiots who think the government is taking away your rights if a policeman looks at you funny.

Is that a general question or is it for PA only?

For everyone, was interested as the two other forums I'm on (one music/entertainment related, the other a weather forum, random, I know) are fiercely left-wing and centre-right respectively.

Same here- it's a very narrow quiz. Better than the political compass though where all leaders are right-wing authoritarians no matter what and all people that take the quiz are all left-wing liberals.
Socially I'm very left-wing on some issues (drugs, crime) and more centrist on others (education), whilst economically I'm firmly left on pretty much everything.

I know your just being you but I really don't understand this stereotype at all. Sure, there was the Cronulla riots which was a disgrace but other then that we are a nation that prides itself on its multiculturalism. There is always going to be racist dickheads in every country.
Oh and please don't eve bother mentioning the supposed problem we apparently have with Indians here.

First of all I know your probably going to refer to the case were the Indians car got set on fire. That was actually all a set up for insurance money. When this was found out the story went away really quickly.
Secondly a lot of the Indians that would come to uni here would go to Melbourne. Our biggest city and arguably best. But like any major city after dark and in the wrong areas there is trouble. A lot of the Indians will also work shift work at many of the fast food chains until late at night and then require public transport home which is were a lot of the attacks have occurred were you could of been anybody and a bunch of tools would have come after you.
There was a really good documentary on the issue. Ill try go dig it up.

That is a HUGE social issue that dates itself all the way back to the first fleeters. I know you have been to Aus but that is a really hard one to explain if you haven't lived in Australia for a long period of time.
Phoenix Arrow
You do?
I only went to Adelaide and Sydney where it's not really a problem. So I don't have a clue what it's actually like, but I've only ever heard negative things and... I mean there must be something in Australian society that's causing them to act like that. Either something keeps them down (ie discrimination and a general negative view that has built up over the years) or they do it by choice which there would have to be a reason for.
I'm not having a go or anything, I just don't really understand it and I'd like to.

You have mentioned it before.
In all honestly they do it to themselves. As long as you have Aborigine in you, you get paid to attended high school, free tertiary education, housing grants and A LOT of other social benefits. Mining companies have to pump billions into Aboriginal communities and have to have a certain percentage of Aboriginal workers which they find difficult to fill because there either unskilled or will just walk off after a few weeks and not come back.
A large portion have serious problems with alcohol, drugs and violence and it is extremely frustrating to see billions of benefits spent on these. This then creates a vicious circle were the kids that are subjected to violence and drugs take this up and pass it on.
The majority of the animosity is created because they get all these benefits and do nothing productive with it, hardly work and have a massive problem with violence. They also like to throw the term white cunt around as well.

You don't think any of their struggles might have something to do with them having had their way of life eradicated, their land confiscated and their families split by a hostile force from the outside determined to either "civilize" or eradicate them?
It's nice that the Australian government has admitted and apologised its past wrong-doings and are trying to mend the damage they caused, but that does not mean that the damage is undone.
