It was a Catholic school at Wahroonga (Sydney) - they had a good sense of humor.

They gave me 10/10 for a poem entitled "stuff the Ethiopians"

I used to think the maoris were more settled than the aborigines, but it doesn't seem so lately.

What's it like over there at the moment?

Don't know about you but I've never personally done anything bad to Aborigines.

Except in school where we were asked to draw a new Aussie Flag and I had one being shot by a white settler on it. :)

I got 8/10 for it.


Well it should be the British apologizing to the Aborigines and the other natives because they try to wipe them out during their colonizing of Australia so long ago.

My opinion based off what the British did to South Africa after taking away from the Dutch.

Personally I don't hold with all the apologizing to anyone about historical events.

Did the Spanish apologize to the Aztecs?
Do we all apologize to the Neanderthals?
Should we be apologizing to the Tasmanian Tiger, the Dodo?

Should German babies born now be apologizing to Jewish babies?
- Should the Egyptians (Moses) be apologizing too?

Where does it stop?
