The comment thread at this Andrew Bolt post about indigenous history is enlightening reading. It’s full of gold nuggets such as this.
50 000 Years Eh? But, Still Dreaming and not even a ½ decent dunny to show for it.
The place is full of every metal one can dream of but not so much as a metal fishhook or metal spearhead has ever been found…

Teh Aboriginals: pwned.
But one exchange in particular is especially funny and is an extreme case study in idiocy.
Sure, no culture is perfect, but would anyone actually choose to be born Aboriginal or Muslim? Both cultures treat women as dirt and have the death penalty for trivialities. Both cultures have produced nothing worthwhile even after thousands of years, so if Aboriginal culture is so superior, how come there’s nothing to show for it? Oh, I guess that’s because the horrible whites destroyed it.

but would anyone actually choose to be born Aboriginal or Muslim?More to the point, why would anyone choose to be born white? It seems to me, especially from your views, that it must be horribly limiting intellectually.

Rachel..no one “chooses” to be born. That’s sorta out of their control, y’know?
