Bigfella, I actually get you and some like you.
You do not have a history to speak of.
You do have a culture to speak of.
You do not really have roots to speak of.
So for you every colored drawing on a cave wall or piece of bone or other such evidences that denote that the land you now inhabit has a history a lot older than your own gets you all excited and chuffed.
So hallucinogen induced aboroginal walkabouts and "dreamings" become the cultural and spiritual threads your empty and otherwise shallow "civilizational" existence so craves and wistfully yearns for.
Sorry man. If you say, yeah we Aussies kick ass at sport, and have a great physical culture, I would be the first to back you up. Am a big fan of your sporting prowess and physicality in all walks of life.
But please learn to appreciate the strong points of other cultures as well.
It is a BIG world out there, and there are some of us here who were there LONG LONG before you guys ever came along.
Does that make us beter than you? In some ways definitely yes. In others as I have pointe out, you guys hold the top draw.
I too ignored your past cavalier attitude and learned to get along on the cat thread.
But this is twice you have shown disrespect which cannot and will not be ignored sir.
Maybe youare not a religious person but I most definitely am.
I take great pride in my ancient faith and my civilizational roots.
And I am sorry but you cannot and will not show disrespect to that.
And that is exactly what you aim to do by belittling a great religion by equating it in the same breath as your cavemen.
