"A tad racist aren't we?" I wouldn't call that remark racist. Accurate perhaps, but not racist.

"2)why do you need a new tank? what enemies except some pissed off aborigines do you have?" -- Bunkerdestroyer ---- Possible interpretations of that sentence: A. "Some aborigines are your enemy. Why are you buying tanks to fight aborigines?" B. "You don't have any enemies that necessitate having some of the most advanced tanks in the world ((insert attempt at humor to illustrate point using exaggeration regarding Australia)), so why buy them?" I'd guess the odds of the intended meaning being A. rather than B. are roughly about one in a billion. Displacedjim

"B. "You don't have any enemies that necessitate having some of the most advanced tanks in the world ((insert attempt at humor to illustrate point using exaggeration regarding Australia)), so why buy them?" I'd have to say that when I saw the comment I took it as being chucked into the room as an example of the above... if anything the worst I saw it was as a piece of sarcasm.... so I certainly didn't see it as racist - unless there is another part of the conversation that I'm missing..

DB....expand your mind......open up...... The reference was to why do you need a new tank....what enemies do you have that would require a new tank.... exapand that....the only people moderately hostile to the gov. were(are) some abor.-so why would you need a new tank as a new tank would indicate a new threat...and what new threats are there that........ never mind..... relax.... meditate..... do some yoga....
