American Troops Being Jerks in Iraq

I agree with drdon on this point. In a nutshell:

The definition of genocide can be found in the Genocide Convention otherwise Kruger v Cth. The assimilation policies of the Australian government (post 1901) are examples of genocide (according to the convention) in practice.

regarding current neglect, if laws are in place in favour of Indigenous people it is there for a reason; to rectify inequities.

No need to be so defensive...of course the koori (thanks for the new word drdon) suffered genocide...whether their murderers considered themselves British or Australian is irrelevant (though added incentive to remove the Queen of England from your state apparatus)...I can't think of a single colonised country where genocide didn't take place...South Af ...[text shortened]... deal with them as best you can...Look for the odd glimmer of light in that historical night...

Your opinion of soldiers is of little significance and is ludicrous. If it wasn't
for soldiers, wars couldn't be waged; don't be totally stupid; a little stupid is
ok, but you are exhibiting maximum stupidity with your rant. 😛

Was that the Falcon 789 or an earlier model?

Really? Have you ever driven a 1965 Ford Falcon like the one they used in Homicide?

Lucky devil! My dad had an Austin 1800 (MK1)! But at least it had a camping body... more accommodating than a back seat.) The H 4 on the floor was similar to a Jag, but I'm afraid the similarities ended there. The '65 Falcons were very reliable but handled terribly, esp on rough surfaces.

They would've wished......

The GT was a great car with many still on the road today. A car exactly like the one in the pic was parked outside my neighbour's house yesterday, fully restored, in pristine condition. My neighbour is an enthusiast, so the noise level is sometimes on the high side!)

Do you have many on the road where you are? You might remember that they were hugely successful at Bathurst, esp on the straights but suffered a little against the zippier Toranas on the climb and in the SSs. The '65 Falcon I was thinking of was the base model V6 family sedan which handled like a wet sponge and was downright dangerous on corrugated corners.

No, but I used to own a '67 Ford Fairlane, "three on the tree", 289 cubic engine 8-cylinder that was handed down to me by my dad back in '78. That car would really grab a "second". The back seat saw more action than a Ron Jeremy Film Festival... 🙂
