MD, it's not that such apologies are too complex to understand, I just don't see the practical point. And while the acknowledgements are all well and good, restoration of the victims' dignity is done how, exactly ?

Excessive guilt over that which you had no part in is a bit silly, is all I'm saying.

You can acknowledge, and have empathy for, but to then go on and apologize ? Contrived pablum for the public's consumption by politicians who want to look good.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

so what is the leap that you cannot make from ackowledgement and empathy to apology?

Why is apology such a no go for you?

And seeing that it was significant and meaningful for Indigenous Australians, who finally felt like there was some recognition and sorrow for their plight, past and present, why is this such a point that needs to be argued?

I've already said why, Mags. I feel no need to keep repeating myself.

Um... no. Because you kept asking 'why , why, why' , even after I'd already given my answer.

But by all means, follow and have the last word.

Western countries including the US and Britain may be asked to accept tens of thousands of Syrian refugees because the exodus from the civil war is overwhelming countries in the region, the UN's refugee chief has warned.

I reccommend against coming here, unless they really wanna be arrested on some manufactured bullshit charge and shipped to Gitmo for torturing simply because of their ethnicity and beliefs.

Damn shame too, cause beliefs aside Syrians brew some pretty damn good beer, as any of you might know if you ever had a bottle of Al-Chark, which I have, and some pretty good citrus-malt as well.

Till we can purge this rightwing atrocity from our society and government, I do not reccommend the United States as a destination for refugees.

PS - Yes, I used the word "purge" for a reason, think about why.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.
