It sounds really harsh I know, I'm not a rascist person, but if you've been to the top end and witnessed the way that the abo's behave after a few drinks, you would understand. It is one of those crimes against humanity, the native people there have never been allowed to fully imerge with the rest of society, and because of it the majority lack social skills. At one point recently, they were trying to prohibit the use of alcohol in the communities because they physically just can not process alcohol the way most other people can. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

I was speechless too - that is such an awful thing to do to such a poor and innocent baby.
FreeSpirit that is a very harsh and generalised statement. I am also speechless at your comment! |

Having been up Nth Qld & with DH having lived there, I have seen revolting behaviour, but in this case I chose not to voice my opinion as it will always be seen as being racist. What freespirit said is actually very mild if you talk to local people up there, I think my jaw was dragging on the ground a lot listening to them. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I think some of it has to do with the fact that they can't physically process it properly not neccessarily because of their social skills. I post on another site that is based in Australia and there was a thread there sometime last year regarding processing alcohol and one woman being part aboriginal or her partner said that it had been researched. Can't remember exact details but I think you will also find that quite frequently different ethnicities have trouble processing alcohol because of chemical reasons not just socially ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Correct. I did research it when I was doing a paper for nursing. Asians also have a similar thing. Here is a quote I find just before online that basically explains it. Alcohol is metabolized based on genetics. Alcohol is metabolized in the human body by converting ethanol to acetaldehyde using alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzymes. The acetaldehyde is then broken down into acetate and water by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymes. Some people have gene variations of the ALDH enzymes that do not metabolize alcohol as well as others. (The genes for the ALDH alleles sit on chromosome 4.) Source(s): Dick, D. & Agrawal, A. (2008).The genetics of alcohol and other drug dependence. Research & Health, 31 (2), 111-118. |

wonder if that is linked to alcoholism. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I'm not shocked at Freespirits comment, sadly she's right they do behave in this way. Might not be very PC its the way it is. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

| No its not linked to alcoholism as such. Although in come cases like the American Indians they have the gene and also have issues with high levels of alcoholism but its hard to say whether its due to the gene or circumstances. |

There are genes linked to addictions like alcoholism, though. I did a research project on it last year. Really interesting.
The decision whether or not to use is still up to the individual, though. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

I'm stunned by that video but so glad the baby is okay. I hope the family are getting help now to ensure the mother doesn't try to harm her again. ------------- Ally and Elisabeth, our stars in the sky, and Joseph, our ray of sunshine.
