They weren't alcholics before british came, people didn't die of high instances of alchohol abuse, alcoholic products that they did have, themselves, were only for the elders of the tribe... if you subtract the deaths from alchohol abuse, their life expectancy would be greater... 100 year old...

Do you have any 300 year old life expectancy statistics? It wasn't 200 years ago that the british came, actually closer to 300 (250 and above)...

Yes because they are so messed up... But the tradtional aborigines lived longer, in such conditions. I won't point the blame at us (of today no - us in 1788, in 1788, yes), nor will i point the blame at them, knowing their history, what they've been through, to be honest if i was an aborigine...

yes pho is the category of asian food that it falls under =) mmmm

Ahhhhh i remember this Australian History exercise i did, comparing white man to aliens in the Aborigine's perspective, and it really got me thinking about Aborigines, i wish i could find it =(, so everyone could see. I think it was something like this, but was like different format and stuff...

You are always using the naturist line when i say something like this...no i don't want to be one just yet...will before i die... And being a naturist is not bad, if you are content with it, and Aborigines were, they didn't want change. But were forced to face up against it, and they died (most...

I just said, if you wanted try it, you would want to bring, some technology. Then you will miss your computer, mobile and car and go running back to it.

I would like to see you try (and fail, and you will fail) to do it... If you go camping, you need to bring a tent, a torch, basic supplies. So don't say camping is an example of us living/adapting to that. Aborigines didn't have torches, they had to make fire from nature. They didn't have the...

Re: Should Australia grow it's population to 100 million? We don't know, but we need to find out! Or maybe our western world/humans altogether is doomed to go extinct in the future. We can't live forever, can we? One child policy is unfair if you want to have more than one kid, i personally i...

Lol them adapting to changes we brought... How about if we tried to adapt to their traditional way of life (hunting-gathering)? Would we succeed? From what you are saying like aborigines are shit, i don't think you would.

I disagree with Riet...simply because i like to disagree with him... His post does not take into account metabolic rates... My answer: Eat healthily, exercise, try to improve metabolism. Once you've improved your metabolism, you are allowed to eat a bit more, but in accordance to your levels...

Yes please do block me/put me on ignore... excluding "moll."...i don't think i wanna talk with you all, you're all telling me to understand/sympathise your views, when some of you think the traditional Aboriginal way of life has NO advantages..., it's more like you don't sympathise with my...

Lol, just lol! Have you heard of the flag people wave, when UN tries to intervene, the flag called "state sovereignty"..., they are restricted in what they can do... Not only that, the UN has limited funding, they can't just go all out spending... Thats what the US does, lol at the War on...

I know, i just like to read... Whether it's pointless or not... Will start reading again now, after a hiatus due to hsc and stuff, now that its over i can... if u noticed...i went edit: ok... that was just after reading the advantages of their way of life...that u said...

No i read George Orwell's Animal Farm b4, haven't read 1984...

I have heard of the book, i just never read it... I read lots of books...cut down on my reading since end of hsc, i think last non-fiction book i read was "The Art of War" Sun Tzu... Oooh George Orwell, is he the guy that wrote Animal Farm???

can you sympathise with my sort of views??? edit: ok... i'll go read 1984, and see what's in that book that was mentioned b4...any more suggestions of books?

no, hunter-gatherers are more simple than western civilisation, simplicity has its own advantages...less stress, etc... simplicity not always = worse.

No, its despite their reasons behind their views, which may be rational and reasoned, i still think it is too cynical, along with other things ("stupid" may i say).

I do, but i simply can't stay in that mindframe because it is too cynical and whatnot.
