Andy9o8 2 #26 December 31, 2010 QuoteI kinda like the idea of "if you want to live in my house, you live by my rules". Sounds fair to me...regardless of who said it...or when. That's a fine principle, but it evades the point of my post: it's not a genuine problem in Australia any more than flag burning is a genuine problem is a problem in the US. It's a hot-button issue manufactured by demagogues without shame, crafted almost entirely out of pixie-dust and the pre-existing fear of bigots.

tmarine253 0 #27 December 31, 2010 My using the reference of not all muslims are terrorists is because that is what this entire world has associated terrorism with. It is sickening that muslims can't even walk down the street without being labeled as a terrorist by half the American public. And to the other post about not being outside the country, I have been and I appreciate how free this country is. And again I feel that this is just encouraging the view that if someone is a muslim than there a terrorist, not to mention after this statement I am sure muslims in Australia are going to be treated with harsher discrimination from people and the government (police).

Sorry, but it's a simple fact that islam is the largest and most vocal supporter of terrorist acts across our planet. The only people that can change that are the muslims, and by and large they aren't making much of an attempt to do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #30 December 31, 2010 Quote Quote To try and keep Australia white, Christian and English is like King Canute ordering the tide to turn. Australia has woken up to the fact the the USA will no longer be a super power and in the near future China will be the number one super power. Many Australians speak Japanese as a second language and even a walk around any Australian city shows that in a few years most of Australia will no longer be white. Its an interesting time for Australia but the days of it being White, English speaking and Christian are numbered. By way of comparison, the US is much different than Australia. To try and keep the US white, Christian and English is like King Canute ordering the tide to turn. The US has woken up to the fact that pretty soon the Chinese will have cornered the market on dilithum crystals (the pure kind, required for warp drive) Many Americans speak Spanish as a second language; and even a walk around any American city shows that in a few years most of the US will no longer be white. That's right, it's reverting back to the partial descendants of the brown people from whom the white people stole it from in the first place. Its an interesting time for the US, but the days of it being White, English speaking and Christian are numbered. Beware! Us darkies are taking over the WORLD!!!!

Now some of you may feel that the cormorant does not play an important part in the life of the school but I remind you that it was presented to us by the Corporation of the town of Sudbury to commemorate Empire Day, when we try to remember the names of all those from the Sudbury area so gallantly gave their lives to keep China British."

No. I think the vast majority of Australian residents of Asian heritage are of Chinese descent. I'm pretty sure Cantonese or Mandarin would be more common here than Japanese. Many are the children of parents rich enough to afford an overseas education for their child. Australia has not been 'white, English speaking and Christian' for some decades now, even then (assuming it ever really was) it was only a brief phase following 40,000 years of 'black'.

Not evading your point at all....food-for-thought countering it. It looks to me like whether or not it's a real problem depends on one's opinion of the prevailing circumstances. I'm sure those people you label "demagogues " think it IS a problem. So, MY problem, MY house, MY rules. In a perfect world, if one wants to discuss those rules, one should always be open to suggestion and discussion, eh? However, are you going to come in armed to the teeth and tell me what rules I should use for MY house because your perception of what constitutes a problem is different than mine? Oh wait...the U.S. does that all the time...all over the world.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

popsjumper 2 #49 January 2, 2011 Quote>I kinda like the idea of "if you want to live in my house, you live by my >rules". Sounds fair to me...regardless of who said it...or when. Agreed. But if you just want to live your life in a free country, then the only requirement is that you don't break any laws. I think religious types should be able to live however they want, provided they don't harm anyone else. Agreed. I think that would be a good rule to have on the list. Question IN RE: "...provided they don't harm anyone else." Does one wait until the harm is done and THEN react or does one exercise some preventive measures up front? You already know what the U.S. is doing and that's another story. It appears to me that the statements as attributed in the OP are simply preventive-maintenance mode.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Andy9o8 2 #50 January 2, 2011 QuoteI'm sure those people you label "demagogues " think it IS a problem. No, they don't. They know best that they're full of shit. To say it a third time now, they know it's not a real problem, but they use it to whip up mouth-frothing among the great unwashed, as a device for getting votes or, for example in the case of pundits, making money. That being said, I'm going to ask our mayor and town council to pass an ordinance prohibiting grinding up live kittens for sausages within our town borders. We are not - repeat, NOT - going to tolerate that shit in our town: grind a kitty, go to jail. Our town. Our rules. Don't fuck with us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
