Karmafury: The Spaniards that came to this country all but wiped out the indiginous population, much like they did in Mexico and the rest of Latin America. It is a bloody and shameful history that only now is getting attention. The indigenious people were not welcoming and resisted being colonized (since they were literally worked to death in the gold and silver mines) and baptized. But little could they do against the weapons and diseases that the Spaniards brought with them. The name used here is "negro" when talking about the "lower classes". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- symbelyne....... You said that the term "negro" refers to the "lower classes." I thought that "negro" refers to people who have a high melanen content in their skin, that is dark skinned people, those of African ethnic origin. I also thought the term "lower classes" incorporates references to education, to occupation, to culture, and to income. In Mexico the Spaniards wiped out the Aztek (? spell) Indians and in the USA, the colonists wiped out the Indians although political correctness has turned them from Indians into Native Americans. Do you mean that "negro" refers to "lower classes" in your country? Or, is that termonology that goes way back before our time? we use negro as a generic term that includes race, ethnicity and class....its also used as a term of endearment...so go figure?? |

what I'm wondering about is who the native people stole the land from.... Just to answer your query there Northern Yanke....here in AUstralia, the Indigenous Australians are the original inhabitants, they have 40 000 plus years of history here...and are the purest race of original man... |

There's that search anywhere on the net and get any figures you want... try this site Leahmarie, and others interested in the average Australian wage... for last year.... not back in 1953, or thereabouts, like leah marie has pulled up...
This is the Government Bureau of Statistics site for Australia, they may have more of a clue... oh, and by the way... the average WEEKLY wage for an Australian is around $1 112.70...I am sure that's around $56 000 per annum, we have 52 weeks in a year here, how many do you have? So does that mean, we earn more than you ? Us paltry descendants of thieves, rapists and murderers? Imagine that.... http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/ ProductsbyTopic/BA84BBB55B643021CA2568A90013934E?OpenDocument |

It doesnt matter how much you earn, what matters is how much you need to live.... |

by the way Leah...nice to see you break out of the "blue box" Thanks, but I am still in a "blue box," so to speak. This is my Haloween custome. I copied it from a computer game. I am an elf princess! Can you believe that, a five foot seven inch woman dressed up like an elf?! |

stop...now you're putting ideas in my head..

stop...now you're putting ideas in my head.. You want to be an elf? Frankly, I like the mermaid better. I love mermaids so much my son bought me a beautiful collectible pewter mermaid. Whoops! Got to go. Traffic is finally moving. I was caught behind a traffic accident. No one seems to be hurt, other than minor injuries, but what a mess all over the road .... three cars involved. |

November 28, 2007 12:00am AUSTRALIA is the third-most desirable country in which to live according to an annual United Nations report that looks at wealth, life expectancy and educational levels. Australia came in behind top ranking Iceland, and Norway in second spot. The top three nations have not changed since last year's report, when Australia was again in third, but Norway was on top and Iceland second. AIDS-afflicted sub-Saharan African states occupied the lowest rankings of the UN Human Development Index, which assesses 177 countries and territories on the three key indicators. As expected, rich free-market countries dominate the top places. Behind Iceland, Norway and Australia come Canada and Ireland. But the United States has slipped to 12th place, from eighth last year. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22833504-5013605,00.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kermafury....... So Australia is the third ranked country in which to live. Your survey doesn't mean squat. I found one in which your country wasn't even listed. Ireland was listed as the most desirable country in which to live, followed by Switzerland, Norway and Luxembourg. I found another survey, which listed different countries other than the above in various rankings. Considering your report and mine, this tells me that if I kept searching I could probably find one that would show the USA in the top three. In other words, these surveys don't mean a darn thing.

Just to answer your query there Northern Yanke....here in AUstralia, the Indigenous Australians are the original inhabitants, they have 40 000 plus years of history here...and are the purest race of original man... Hummm.... "the purest race of original man?" Gee, now, if we go back to Adam and Eve, the original humans here on Earth according to the Bible (which stands the test of time and knowledge), and then the destroying of Earth by the flood, with only Noah and his family being chosen by God to survive, and the rest of the world descending from Noah's lineage, where do the Australians originate from? Did God have a special place on earth for them, separate and apart from the rest of mankind? Or, if you believe in the theory of evolution, could you kindly provide documentation to prove Australians are the purest of original humans? Where did those original humans come from? Was there a mass explosion of atoms forming people? Some atoms being more pure than others? As a matter of fact, if they are a race of original man, who are/were the "original man"? And, likewise, please provide documentation. This should be very interesting to read. Lindyy |

Tahiti is a territory of France. It is a part of French Polynesia.
http://www.mapsouthpacific.com/tahiti/index.html "It was not, however, until after World War II, when Tahitians who had served France returned home, that pressure forced the French government to extend French citizenship to all islanders. The first territorial assembly was established in 1946, and by 1949 the islands obtained representation in the French Assembly." http://gohawaii.about.com/cs/frenchpolynesia/a/fp_history.htm |
