Look you can all bury your heads and pretend these comments and opinions aren’t racist and I can dig my heels in and say they are. In the end, does it really make a difference to how you think?
As for Mr Rudd, Peligro et al are just going to have to deal with the fact that he was voted in. You are a by-product of the Liberal government who spent 10 years ripping the divide open even further and now you’re all upset because Mr Rudd is giving away all your money, boo hoo.

You can dig in your heels, sure, but that’s about all you got because you have offered NOTHING to counter otherwise.
The comments about Rudd, I have no idea cause I know nothing of the man. didn’t seem racist though just more insulting for the sake of being insulting, but the baboon/ gorilla comment was NOT racist (which, as I said in my earlier post, pretty much makes you racist for thinking it is!).
As far as aborigines, about all I know of them is that they are probably first in line (or at least a close second to the Native Americans) for the groups of people who have been fucked worst of all by old whitey! (and yeah the whitey comment is racist cause not all white people think like greedy goddamn tyrants)

What divide?
and now you’re all upset because Mr Rudd is giving away all your money, boo hoo.
Are you 12?
It would have been beneficial if the guy had invested 600 million into healthcare or infrastructure or small business. These are the qualities that define Australia - the things that constitute growth and insure viltatity of the econmic stability.
What does he go and do instead? Splashes billions on Mr and Mrs Joe Average (regardless of whether they desperately need it or not…REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE ALIVE OR NOT!!!) so they can buy a plasma screen tv or bay off their bankcard. The idiot. And now we have to go and pay it all back. You do realise that don’t you?? Don’t you? Do you like your tax dollars being frittered down the drain? Or let me guess, you’re one of THOSE Labour types who don’t pay tax?
How about they provide some tax concessions to small business - where around 50% are failing every year and more people than ever before are working part time in the history of this country - instead of cash splashes? Wouldn’t that make more sense? If small business is running along healthily, won’t that provide the economic growth that they’re so proudly and stupidly alluding to?
What the fuck does this guy do? Give me ONE THING this moron had successfully completed since coming to power. Nothing other fuck up a healthy budget and granstand his own pompous ego at every given opportunity. I wouldn’t let him and his cronies run a take-away store.
Says sorry to aboriginals and leaves it at that. Says sorry to abused children and leaves it at that. Claims to be tough on people smugglers and does an about face. Ruins a healthy economy. Rattles on about climate change yet effectively does zero to abate the problem other than threatening to tax us more. Takes troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan where they are fighting a losing battle. Abuses his staff at the drop of the hat.
What is it that has you so enamoured of this fool - this charlatan?
It’s die-hard-anti-Liberal schmucks like yrself who feed off everything these idjits throw you and can’t see the wood from the trees even when the whole damn forest is about to come crashing down on your head.
Oh well, whatever. It’s only our future at stake. Take it or leave it.
Oh the dramatics! And you’re not aware of any divisions in Australia? It’s all just one big happy family?
You just keep telling yourself it’s the die hard Liberal haters that are sending the country to hell in a handbasket while you ramble on about the benefits of encouraging small business.
Referring to ALL black people as baboons is racist, referring to one black person as a baboon IS racist if your only comparing because of skin color.
In this particular case I don’t think anyone had skin color in mind. Furthermore, I think that “Baboon” was being synonymously used for gorilla(which they are not) Not all black people look like Baboons, chimps, orangutans, and any other primate I have forgotten… Hell, not all people look like animals period but some do! case in point… Barry Manillow and Barbara Streisand look like Toucans, is that racist cause I’m comparing them to animals? No! They just look like fuckin’ birds!!!
It’s unfortunate that said lady looks like a gorilla but not racist. For someone to assume that saying said woman(probably more sexist than racist than anything since we all assumed she was a man) looks like a Gorilla/Baboon is a racist statement says a lot more about the person making the racism charge than it does about the person that made the gorilla statement. Apparently the racism finger pointers can’t see past her blackness to see that her facial structure truly resembles that of a gorilla. Color has nothing to do with it.

None of that made any sense at all smurf. Infact it was complete jibberish?
Voidhead may not be a racist…regardless it was a throw away racist comment which I’m sure he knew would rub some people up the wrong way.

From grmpy?! Never. A person who (when things are better) wants to be employed to teach yet cannot make a clear statement.
Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me. My post was a play on the fact that comparing black people to any kind of monkey/ape (even if the resemblance is undeniable) is automatically assumed to be a “racist statement”.
And here someone actually took the bait.
Can you honestly say that woman does not look like a fucking ape? Ok maybe “baboon” was wrong. I don’t know much about the different types of simians.
EDIT - Nah fuck that! Even the baboon Toot posted look similar!
I loved when people are crying racist when someone says Obama looks like Curious George. He fucking does. Get over it. But then it’s ok when someone compared a picture of Bush to an ape (he did look like an ape in the photo).
This dude you all are arguing over looks like an owl kind of. Does that make me racist by some convoluted bullshit politically correct logic that I was unaware of?
BlueVelvet, your Marilyn Monroe avatar looks like I want to grab those thick hips and fuck her brains out. Am I misogynist now for being horny and male too?
Maybe the right statement was “your Marilyn Monroe avatar looks like I want to take her out for a cup of coffee and initiate an elaborate courting ritual which will culminate in my marrying her”
Oh it was a joke that nobody got? Hilariously clever as it was, it still appears you are back pedalling.
… your Marilyn Monroe avatar looks like I want to grab those thick hips and fuck her brains out. Am I misogynist now for being horny and male too?
Since when does being sexually aroused and male make you misogynistic? I don’t get it.
Maybe you’ll have to explain to me the clever undertones and nuances in that statement because I just can’t get my pretty little head around it.

No I think you do get it, but you’re not applying the same logic to the monkey-racist thing.
Since when does saying someone who looks like a monkey (and happens to be black) looks like a monkey make you racist?

Forget it man. You are wasting your breath.
She’s obviously a Labour supporter - thick as a brick and stubborn as a mule.
How can anybody who thinks ‘Rudd The Dudd’ is a competent leader be expected to comprehend irony.
Rudd is the most useless political leader in Australian history - bar none. A preening peacock and self promoter who uses feel goody populist political ideals to whitewash his incompetency and ineffectual decision making. A greedy hog and self righteous bastard.
The guy makes George W. seem like a genius in comparison.
When you have no argument or rational retort, change the subject. Classic.
Oh that’s typical of a Rudd worshipper.
That’s the example he sets - when things get tough, make a schmoozy, gooey, lovey dovey speach to the masses. Say sorry for something or start rabbiting on about climate change. Or borrow some cash, splash it round then tell everyone who will listen what a genius piece of economic recovery that was.
Absolute wanker. Who votes for these dickheads??
On a side note, why is everyone on this board Australian?
'Cos we’re all gay for Ministry???
I dunno.
A better question would be where have all the Americans GONE!

Go back an reread it slowly… it makes perfect sense. just because some people look like animals doesn’t mean that someone else is racist for pointing it out. Unless of course you are calling black people primates only because they are black! which clearly (if you look at this unfortunate looking woman) is not the case with this specific black lady!
Why is that so hard to understand?

Voidhead…stop throwing a gay hissy fit for being outed for making a silly racist statement…which you imply was a joke to out people that didn’t find it funny and don’t take kindly to racist statements.
And to the other folk trying to stick up for Voidhead making a racist statement because you think some honkys look like birds and the rest of your rediculous excuses for why the statement wasn’t racist…you look like douchebags.
The funniest thing about this thread is all the pro Voidhead/Baboon statement people getting OWNED by Blue Velvet then throwing massive gay hissy fits in which they make even uglier racist remarks and accuse the people who outted them of being particular political party suppoters in retaliation???!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This thread is indeed the coolest one we’ve had in a while!
I look forward to Voidhead, Olsen and Smurf’s upcoming post on why we should be allowed to call black folk monkey’s because …well…we call some white folk animal names too?

OK so lets take you for your word that your first statement was a play on the folk who “automatically” assume calling a black person a baboon is racist…
You make it pretty clear with this statement that it is no “play”.
And for the record I can honestly say that the lady in question does not look like a gorilla, chimp OR baboon to me…she looks like a middle aged Murri. The reason behind this view of mine must be because I vote for a particular political party?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
