    This is an interesting point which I noticed Nick Griffin make last night on QT. Since the indigenous people of America are the native Indians does this mean that all the descendants of European Americans are not really "Americans"....and that European Aussies aren't really "Aussies"?

    Now you are just being silly.

    They are white. Everyone knows white people are the masters of the universe:rolleyes:

    Mewbie is right. We need a better argument.

    Nothing will convince die hard fascists. The bloke on the council extate with the rockweiler we may just win over.

    He unfortunately cant even spell indigenous.

    Suggestions please..................

    You could try adding G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate to the air processors.

    Probably a bit of a boys film. Doubt you've seen it?

    Now there you are wrong. I adored Firefly. It was almost as good as Galactica. Almost.

    Life is luck.

    Bullsh1t. You make your own luck. Usually by working harder and being more ambitious than the next guy.
    Depends in many ways where you born as to the opportunities that you might have.

    Nonsense. Anyone can succeed, no matter what the background, if they try. Sure, it's easier for those born in certain places and from certain backgrounds, but anyone can make a success of themselves if they want to.
    Working hard is often not enough these days.

    Working hard is all there has ever been for some people and classes. Today is no different.

    There are no guarantees in life, but not working as hard as the other guy has always been a good way to fail.....

    An interesting take on life. I see a world far away from that you obviously live in through my partners work. So I won't even bother wasting my time in replying directly to your comments. Other than to say perhaps you should get out more and give some of your time to people who deserve help. There's more to life than HPI.
