Is western civilisation better than aboriginies of the past? (2 Viewers)

[cxlxoxk]

You really are fucking retarded. You don't think the Aboriginals had a rigid social system and marriage arrangement?

wth do u mean? i believe the source that said that aboriginal women were arranged/force to marry "old men".

but europe/the western world at the same time as them, was enslaving women, which is a whole lot worse.

 

[Riet]

i'm not, i am saying, the aboriginal culture was of the PAST, so i have to compare them to western world OF THE SAME TIME AS THEM.

That's not what the topic is.

 

[Will Shakespear]

Because traditional Aboriginal culture virtually disappeared and didn't get to change...

lol

 

[cxlxoxk]

That's not what the topic is.

yes it is, comparing the western world on the whole, with aboriginal culture of the past


iirc "the whole" is past, present and future (although we don't know the future, so it is the past and the present).

THE PAST IS THERE, YOU CAN'T IGNORE IT.

Fine then, ill wind back 200 years again for both cultures, who treats women better, aborigines 400 years ago, or british 400 years ago? ABORIGINES DO.

then i'll wind back 200 years even more both cultures, who treats women better, aborigines 600 years ago, or british 600 years ago? ABORIGINES DO

Women were hanged because they were "witches" back further and witchcraft/magic doesn't even exist.

cxlxoxk.... even northriversmatt isn't as stupid as this kid.

how the fuck am i stupid...

did aborigines hang women because they were witches 600+ years ago? i think not...

every culture is equal because they are different, they develop differently...

 

[Hagaren]

woah!

equality = differences.

fuck me, you should be writing a dictionary.

 

[cxlxoxk]

answer my fucking question, tell me did aborigines kill women because they were witches 600 years ago...if you don't you are ignoring the past of every culture, and the past is part of any society and CAN'T BE IGNORED. you're a retard.

read the last part of my sig u moron

THEY ARE THE SAME (EQUAL) IN THAT THEY ARE ALL UNIQUE. IS SAME NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH EQUAL???

ACCORDING TO THIS IT IS

 

[Groucho Marxist]

Give it up, mate.

 

[cxlxoxk]

No, i'm not. I'm Australian, parents are both Asians. So you can call me a shithead asian, but i'm sure Asians wouldn't like it.

 

[Hagaren]

who gives a flying fuck.

the past can be ignored, shouldn't and can't are different things but we can't expect that kind of intelligence from you.

the past is to be learnt from not to dwell upon.

the current generation will not be held accountable for the previous generations mistakes.

just for you i'm going to go and get a mad shirt screen printed for the anniversary of sorry day on the front it will say "sorry..." & on the back "...you're not white".

 

[Hagaren]

you're a shit head and your asian.

you're not a shit head because you're asian.

my best friend is asian he's not a shit head just you.

 

[cxlxoxk]

so you are implying that the only asian that is a "shithead" in the entire world is me? wow you are so naive to think that. you haven't met every asian in the world.

and to answer "who gives a flying fuck"

i'm sure historians appreciate the past, even more than i do.

 

[Hagaren]

i did extension history fuckstain.

historians may appreciate the past that doesn't make it all relevant.

your father appreciates naked 6 year olds that doesn't mean i'll suddenly endorse paedophilia

 

[Groucho Marxist]

so you are implying that the only asian that is a "shithead" in the entire world is me? wow you are so naive to think that. you haven't met every asain in the world.

and to answer "who gives a flying fuck"

i'm sure historians appreciate the past, even more than i do.

omg, you lefty nuts pain me to no end. You're a fuckwit. You're also asian. The two are in no way related.

 

[cxlxoxk]

lol also i believe your signature is defamation, i would easily win a defamation case against you, some of my real name is hidden within my BoS name...

 

[GOD ALMIGHTY]

cxlxoxk, every artists fucks up somewhere along the line for me you were that mistake.

 

[Hagaren]

lol also i believe your signature is defamation, i would easily win a defamation case against you, some of my real name is hidden within my BoS name...

wow, really? cos like i totally didn't figure out that the x's where most likely blanked out letters or anything.


cxlxoxk, real name = calcock

 

[Kwayera]

answer my fucking question, tell me did aborigines kill women because they were witches 600 years ago...

No, but they slaughtered them for accidentally witnessing "men's business."


While it is true that they did not have any diseases brought to humanity by domestication of animals and living in large cities - influenza, smallpox, etc - they were susceptible to multitudes of other diseases, including nasty parasites. They had no medical knowledge of use, and could die of septicemia from a cut. Child mortality was (and is) extremely high, as was the risk of mortality for mothers giving birth. That is the reality of a primitive civilisation, and there is no way, shape or form that you can argue that it is equal to a modern western civilisation.

Oh, and calling the Jacaranda Australian History a credible (i.e. unbiased) source is hilarious.
