It is real alright Kent,it is a part of history they do not teach in our schools..have a look at this,,https://www.google.com.au/search?q=australian+aborigines&tbm=isch&imgil=tctTzafTIttiDM%253A%253BiGpRMfinB3AnjM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.aboriginalartonline.com%25252Fculture%25252Famusic.php&source=iu&pf=m&tbs=simg:CAESyAEaxQELEKjU2AQaBAgDCEIMCxCwjKcIGmIKYAgDEij-A8MKuRCSBKEFmgXuCuMXoAWWBeY55zmjLqIuvDnkOdUr4C3KK8srGjCoLr85opuloYOEw6IDFoZ5jG_1T4ftxqhkK1Fxl-lPFlOCmvotQ7K41EFNi5NGAW3UgAwwLEI6u_1ggaCgoICAESBKHliL0MCxCd7cEJGjEKCAoGcGVvcGxlCgcKBXRyb29wChEKD2JsYWNrIGFuZCB3aGl0ZQoJCgdtaWxpdGlhDA&fir=tctTzafTIttiDM%253A%252CiGpRMfinB3AnjM%252C_&biw=1170&bih=629&dpr=1.5&usg=__K8SlUYm2lr2oO22m04PXta_IElY%3D&ved=0ahUKEwiHpumZhN7KAhUMjpQKHdqiAkYQyjcIPA&ei=szmzVseAO4yc0gTaxYqwBA#imgrc=F6tv_7QXD8_CjM%3A&usg=__K8SlUYm2lr2oO22m04PXta_IElY%3D I did not think it was worth TD Kent..>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

Terry, did i give you a thumbs down, if i did i hit the wrong thumb, will correct --- i did a brief history on Aboriginals at school, the teacher told us , in the early history of OZ, it was legal to shoot aborigines no questions asked, of course we had The White Australia Policy which was not directed at Indigenous Australians but our neighbours to the North.

I find America and Americans fascinating , the fact that they are the most powerful country in the world, and yet as I am told, the average American has no idea or interest about what goes on around the world.

Please don't be offended all you Americans, it wasn't meant that way.

We were at a show/musical in London recently , and happened to be sitting next to an American family, in the interval the father says to us, gee iv'e seen this show in New York but sure is great to come and see it in this wonderful theatre in little ol London.

I know what you mean, Sunny, back in the eighties in California, an American Women asked me, ' is Australia north or southern hemisphere, i was taken aback, hadn't she seen a world map, nowadays they seem a lot well informed because of the internet.

commented 8 years ago

We only get history, and very old at that. I'm taking world history next and wonder if Australia will be mentioned. Our education doesn't give us much about others, nor do our newscasts.

commented 8 years ago

MsBob, i noticed your American news broadcasts have very little or none overseas news unless the US is involved unlike hear roughly 30 minutes Domestic, 30 minutes overseas, we see a lot of American news possibly some you don't.

commented 8 years ago

Probably, and maybe objective instead of subjective. We are taught nothing about Australia in our schools, I had confirmed to me yesterday. I'm ashamed at our global ignorance.

commented 8 years ago

MsBob. we were the opposite at school, taught American Revolution, American Civil War, clashes between the Indians and whites, and the civil Rights Movement, plus we did Canada, which is understandable as Australia had bugger all history, it not your fault but your Govt. requirements for Education, now a days kids learn nothing or very little history. :)

I am with you Sunny,,this is an interesting video on street questions in America,,and i can honestly say, i do not know anybody on AKA like this..>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEc9UeIhIi0

Believe or not. i don't know if you can class it as a country, i have always been fascinated with 'Antarctic', unspoilt landscape, translucent waters , seals, penguins unafraid of man and to breath non-poluted air, a must on the bucket list. :)

In America Kent they use penguins to serve in fast food chain stores,

commented 8 years ago

Orphaned penguins, hector, and they only prep in the back, never serve on the line or run the cash register. The reason is they work with their feet and it would be awkward dealing with people while standing on one's head.
