    While driving a car looking all the time in rear view mirror you are bound to have a crash.

    poor & irrelevent analogy. history contains many lessons. it is not looking back at history that results in repeating the same mistakes

    I don't focus on my parents, my grand parents and the` past.

    this would make one a very ungrateful person. gratitude is a mental quality that actually brings much happiness. being ungrateful is often the root of much discontentment

    I focus on my life and my daughter's future.

    this would make one a very selfish person. why address the forum, as you did, with "All", when you only think of yourself?

    Pre 1770 is history.

    history offers many lessons for the present. our society is returning to such a world yet you believe your daughter will be immune or insulated from such a dog-eat-dog world?

    Take over of Countries, companies, races and religion has been going on since day dot.

    so you believe murder, theft & rape are OK, it seems? is it OK if these things are done to your family & possessions?

    I am over the Aboriginal poor me cause, and guilt complex by supposedly some well meaning, make me feel good citizens . Maybe because I live in North Qld than in Sydney and Melbourne.

    yep. the aboriginals in Nth Qld were treated much worse than in many places. in fact, I can see Palm Island right now.

    BTW, I don't thumb down posts I disagree with, I post my thoughts. Takes more courage and keeps the banter going.

    your views don't sound courageous to me but that is just my thoughts

    what courage was there when Nth Qlders took all of the good land and exiled the locals to Palm Island?

    how we play with words, as though they are real?
