A sad thing about Australia is that many Australian’s still believe the Asians are gonig to overrun the country (you’d be surprised how many Aussies still think that Japan is an enemy).
That perception is by no means universal or widespread. People like Pauline Hanson unfortunately blow matters out of all proportion, when they make bold and unjustified statements about the country been over run in parliament. This is just not true! And her One Nation party, which she no longer leads, suffered a major swing against it in the latest Queensland election. People have grown tired of her and the crap she stands for. I think every nation suffers from some degree of racism, as we do, but it is NOT a widespread feeling in the general Australian community in my opinion.
so do any of you know of kurt plummer – someone told me he and kopp both study/work in the same univ ? mr plummer was a air combat theorist and used to be very active in the mil newsgroups. a F22 & hypersonic UCAV devotee. some say he’s a genius, others a madman.
had a wierd style of writing that took hours to decipher.
Had a few discussions with him but found his head to be even harder than Kopps! He is very much reluctant to alter his views about UCAVs and remote controlled warfare. Plus, his ability to write a comprehendible passage for the average person to use seems impossible for him. For this reason especially, he tends to drive a lot of people away, as they can neither understand his point, or can respond in kind, or simply have NO IDEA what he is on about. It used to take me ages to both read his stuff and then reply, so I gave up. He was on our Basement forum for a bit a couple of years ago, but was banned for disrespecting members with racist comments; again he would not budge from his position or lighten his attitude. He certainly knows his stuff, but he tends to rave on without really getting to, or making a solid point. I would HATE to be in any one of his lectures! I think Kopp and Plummer might get along well, if they are at the same Uni. :rolleyes:
Guys, lets get back to the topic. 😉
