More PC Wokeness.

Normal Aussies and immigrants thoughts

Don’t care, fed up with the racist BS, we don’t bloody care mate.”

We are waiting for ancestors of UGH the cave man ( homo erectus)through his extended timespan of hereditary family to claim ownership of the planet because it was stolen from them by a neanderthal.

Now you know where this lbgtqp+++ crap started from.

Yes Aussie humor is Non PC

Indigenous.

Doesn’t that mean where something orginated?

That would leave the earth under the area.

And that’s about it.

Some plants and species of animals native to the land.

Boy dems are good at distorting the meaning of words.

Not good enough. White people must leave.

Leave Australia to the Chinese who will imprison and sterilize the natives out of existence without a word of criticism uttered.

Not for many years. More like “E pluribus pluribus.”

You must remember than Latin is an inflected language - meaning that words ("pluralis" = "many") must be properly inflected, depending upon their specific function in the given sentence. Here, "e" (= "from" or "out of") is a preposition requiring that the modified word ("pluralis") be placed in the ablative = "pluribus." But the second instance of the word should then be in the nominative. Hence: "E pluribus pluralis."

We should adapt and adopt the Marseillaise here. (Pay attention to the translated words.)

There!

See, changing one word is all it took to heal the racial wounds.

There will now be racial harmony forever more.

Thank you very much! (I had tried to piece this together using online resources - thank goodness there are people like yourself with actual school Latin!)
