...no? Are you?

[EDIT: If Aboriginal people were being kept as pets I'd be calling for an end to the practice though.]

But if there were no Aborigines there would be no racism towards them. You can't argue with that fact.

That's not true. People are scared of and hateful towards witches and the Devil and various other entities that don't exist. More effective to get rid of the racists, or, ideally, the racism.

Besides, getting rid of racism towards Aboriginal people and only Aboriginal people is a pretty weak goal and even if you succeeded the racism would manifest in some other form and you'd be back where you started.

But now you're just trying to argue around your initial point. No aborigines = no racism towards Aborigines.

That was your essential argument.


Oh well, you may hate animals, but at least you're willing to be a hypocrite rather than hate people. And progress was made.

Well if your goal was reduce racism towards Aboriginal people and that was it then yes, I guess your plan might work in a kind of superficial way. I'd imagine the process of extermination would involve quite a bit of racism so I guess you'd have to work out whether the additional racism you've created would be matched by potential future racism you eliminate.

However, it is also Iowa, which is historically a terrible indicator of how things actually shake out.

EDIT: Cracked did an article about it, basically Iowa becomes hell once every four years for tourist reasons, and provides no tremendously useful data for the ongoing election stuff.

No, not at all, you're just getting butthurt that you aren't allowed to own pretty bang bang sticks because an animal rights group managed to stop something that makes dogs regularly hang themselves.

Not being able to own fireworks is lame. It isn't difficult to train dogs to be calm around fireworks.

Anyway this whole discussion is redundant because it turns out the pet thing is only a small element of the ban.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...2fd0-1454389380

quote:

The private purchase, import and use of fireworks in Canberra is now prohibited, Industrial Relations Minister John Hargreaves announced today.

Canberra had previously been one of only two regions where fireworks were available for purchase.

"Fireworks are about celebration, but unfortunately for many in the community they are about damage to property, distress and injury to animals, and public nuisance,'' Mr Hargreaves said.

This had resulted in significant government and community resources being tied up to deal with fireworks incidents over the long weekend and beyond.

I'm pretty sure that's how Serco advertises now:

Ever wanted to rape a 5 year old child but were worried about being arrested and spat upon in the steet? Come work for us at Serco and you can rape women from five to fifty!
