You need to study the stolen generation most Australian museums will have a link but the Jigalong community is a whole world away from redfern.

Can you say that again, beenfive? Maybe in English this time???

**D'Art** · 03-05-2011 01:51 PM

I doubt it, seeing as it was a bot/ foreign language speaking spammer

**Lilipad** · 03-06-2011 08:59 AM

oh. Was he just typing random words? Or was that actually supposed to mean something?

**D'Art** · 03-06-2011 10:39 AM

I suspect it's a cut & paste job from some other discussion forum that they also tried to spam. I'd be willing to speculate that there'll be loads of other random forums asking what random paragraphs from here are all about.

As long as they aren't from the Cleavage thread...

Of course it's heavily fictionalized. Not many people would would willingly sit and watch 90 minutes worth of fencing footage on the big screen at about $10 a pop.

And Rob Roy has a what? I've never thought that film was very good. As a Scot I found Rob Roy to be a seriously dubious retelling.

And again with the fictionalizing aspect. Next you'll tell me that there is no Easter Bunny! Heheheh.

The final dueling scene at the end of that movie isn't like some swashbuckling Erroll Flynn piece where every thrust is perfectly parried and every parry countered; it's grueling and violent... as I'd imagine an actual duel would be like (having never actually tried to cut someone in half of course). That's what I meant by "Oh My God What The F**k!"
