yeah but asians would rather deal with white boys than darkies.

that's why china are building entire worker cities in africa, right. and signing deals with their local governments to build roads/railways, and provide all sorts of infrastructure.

The stuff they build is second rate but at least it is something. More than what the west is doing there. Good to see non Western states cooperate in such a way.

it's just china making a geopolitical play for what will undoubtedly come to be one of the main resource land-grabs in the next 100 or so years. they're opportunistically doing it before africa gets anymore on its feet and politically advanced. don't want any uppity negroes sitting on all that coltan. get em onboard with the chinese empire now, whilst they still need the basics, and then we'll have them as an ally against the evil ex-colonial whities.

and where's australia in all this? uuuh. well i guess if they make a few more lord of the rings movies you guys will have something to do.

we feel so butthurt. well were pretty much enjoying our status as one of the best places to live in the world, high income, good healthcare and education.

You know why China is buying shit from Aus mass scale? Stability. You don't have to worry about warlords and what not disrupting supply routes, governments nationalizing your companies etc etc.

Why are you so mad about Australian politics having a single thread? DST is filled with inane ramblings over guns in america, mooooslims, racism and ladyboys but a few Aussies and Kiwis discussing happenings is definitely symbolic of our collective self-esteem issues.

Go back to your funtimes with Dilbert and Jay.

Uzique I was that fascist but I deleted it to try and spare you some dignity. It didn't exactly reflect you at your best. If you want me to undelete it then throw me a PM and I will but as I think you've re-made your point in a less needlessly idiotic way I suggest you leave it as it is.

The point of this thread, which was outlined in the first post nearly three and a half years ago, is to act as the sole space for the discussion of Australian issues under the full realisation that Australian issues simply do not rate internationally. It is not to try and present Australia as an important global player, it is not to try and treat the issues as relevant to others, it's not about self esteem or self importance. It is just a discussion place for those informed or interested enough to contribute.

Your points about Australia being relatively insignificant are well known and well appreciated by everyone here. We live here, we're perfectly aware of just how completely out of mind we are as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

But the thing is that the issues we discuss in this thread, while trivial and unimportant to the rest of the world, are important and relevant to us. So we like to discuss them in a way that doesn't junk up the rest of the forum. The reason it has a lot of pages is because firstly it's been around for over three years, secondly because it covers every single Australian political or social issue over that time, and thirdly because there is a fairly solid Australasian community at bf2s who are interested in discussing these things.

Why you'd think it has anything to do with national ego is beyond me. This thread serves a function in providing an arena to discuss a narrow field of interest - just like every other thread.

Anyway if there one thing more pointless than discussing Australian politics it's discussing the Australian Politics Thread so I think we can leave it at that.

Uzique you're welcome to continue to contribute to the discussion so long as it's relevant and you're not just trying to rile people up.

Finally, we should be able to trade with China without the daftness of converting to USD in each direction.
Must be the only sensible thing Gillard has done - I predict a US carrier strike group off Sydney in about a week.

for your sake, i hope not. shore leave will drain your liquor stores, make impossible waits at your whorehouses, and have north korea aiming typodongs towards you.

not that that would bother you much, would it?
