No Booze or Porn for the Brownies

So Australia is banning the sale of alcohol and pornography in Aboriginal areas within the Northern Territory.

Wow. That is some pretty outrageous stuff. Now, seeing how the Northern Territory is not an Australian State, I can understand a justification in the banning of alcohol and pornography to the population as a whole. Even if the intent was to target the large Aboriginal minority there, I think the international community would be at a loss to address the obvious racial overtones. But that isn’t going to happen, is it? After all, the northern coast is a popular vacation destination.

What I don’t understand is how a government can target a discriminatory law toward a race of peoples and not be subject to United Nations trade sanctions. But of course, that isn’t going to happen, is it? After all, Australia is targeting Aboriginals for their own benefit, and Australia is considered a civilized nation.

Should we do the same thing to Native Americans and Catholic priests here? Der. Of course not, because even if the intent would potentially be altruistic, you can’t get away with that shit in a democratic society. But I guess all democracies are not created equal.

I wonder if John Howard is going to give up alcohol and internet porn for the duration of this social experiment? Given my experience with Australians, I think this is doubtful. Oops. My bad. Was that discriminatory of me? So what? It isn't like my opinion is a law or something.

But we can still get Aboriginal porn, right?

heh. I'm only into Aboriginal porn when I'm blackout drunk, so I wouldn't know.

Let's put the "original" back into Aboriginal porn.

You gotta be kidding me... Aboriginies drink cheap shit and I think it is a crime to take away the right to drink piss. As far as racist? Aussies are good blokes and sheilas. Who can argue with a country for giving us the likes of Steve Irwin, the man who encouraged conservation and had balls as big as church bells. I, as an American invoke my freedom of speech here and say this... Let the aborigines drink all of the piss they want, huff all of the petrol they want, and let them eat all the witchetty grubs they want... Freedom, baby. Personally, hats off to any of those peeps who wear grass skirts. I would, so I can feel a draft on my Kiwi's. Wait, Kiwi is a racial slur... In this context, I mean testicles. Lest we forget about the sheep rapists, because I would never insult them. After all, they deserve the right to molest sheep as well. My policy, do not get onto the abos or kiwis because they drink cheap shit, huff gas, and screw quadropeds... It is their freedom to do so.
