Now, I have seen and heard anglo saxons abusing ethnics...where does that leave us? My anecdotal evidence not as good as yours, or is mine better? What's the truth?

Oh please, Some cultures are better, better and looking after themselves and treating each other better. Look at some countries gee I wouldnt want to live in those if people gave me $1 million. I love Aussie culture and wouldnt want to see it changed to much yes we were shaped by imigrants but that was when we were growing to an acceptable population. Now we are settled and developed and have our own culture!
You should get out more.

i've answered that before. they were promised a new and better life only to find their hopes had been dashed, hence the media stunt. you dont go doing that crap if you are thankful to be safe, you do it because you are ungrateful about not having your promises of life living in Australia realised.
"Six asylum seekers escaped from the Woomera detention centre early yesterday morning in a violent breakout in which guards were attacked with tyre levers and nearly hit by getaway vehicles.
Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock said one guard had his legs beaten with a tyre lever while another was hit in the chest with a "similar implement". He said people wearing balaclavas tried to drive over guards as 15 detainees attempted to break out of the centre." - The Age
heaven forbid if the detainees were the victims here

According to you perhpas, some cultures would find the materialism in Australia rather distasteful, inferior even. I'm not saying which is better or not, but am suspecting your 'superiority complex' leads you to the conclusion 'Aussie' culture is better than, or at least the equal of, most if not all others. You seem to confuse your opinion as fact.
So, basically, you don't want Aussie culture changed from the way it is now. Pretty much want the status quo. Gee, aren't you lucky people a generation ago didn't 'think' like you. Imagine what sort of culture you'd be subjected to! I suspect you might be taking that million dollars to move elsewhere!

What's the matter? Don't you feel special enough, snookums?
Been to them all plenty of times. Not my favourite suburbs, but I don't have a problem with them.
You sound like a real racist. I'm interested if Votoupal is your surname, and if so what is it's origin. Doesn't sound overly anglo-saxon.
I partly agree with you here. This is one of the reasons I believe immigration should be slowed for a few years. I'm still a supporter of multi-culturalism - too fast too soon is not good though.
Some but not all. Slow down the immigration for a few years and this will decline. Multi-cultualism still good.

What's your point? I'd sure as hell be trying to escape. And believe me, quoting Phillip Ruddock is not going to earn you any brownie points over here. The mans own children stand against his policies on asylum seekers.
yes, you would be trying to escape, certainly if you were promised (and paid for) a new life living in this country. and yes, i would suggest that his children, who are not remotely involved in the dept of immigration whatsoever, are in a better position to judge.
as are you, or did you forget that?
yes, but not a clue about the consequences of open slather.
How can you call me a "real racist" when all I did was state facts about certain Sydney suburbs? Is that what "racism" means to you, stating facts the PC brigade doesn't want to hear?
This is why more often than not the Police have a difficult time doing their job, because anything they do with regards to certain communities is likely to be decribed as racist. Look at the reaction to Bob Carr and Peter Ryan when they even dared to suggest that there is an ethnic-related crime problem in our city?
The killing of John Newman broke the back for some people, but it's the drug and gang-related problems of the last few years that's made most of us really wake up to what's happening in our suburbs.
And yes, I am not an Anglo-Saxon but the only identity I can ever identify myself with is Australian and only Australian. I won't put myself into any ethnic category or "hyphenated" category as such, because it doesn't matter to me. I don't feel the need to belong to a "community" as such.
Point is, how would you like it if your friends or relatives brought someone into your house and they behaved in a way that was totally unacceptable to you? It's the exact same thing with new arrivals to this country. We should have a right to determine an immigration policy that is best for our country.
So nicko, immgiration policy is either mandatory detention or open slather ....it may be that perhaps Ruddocks 'children' are not the exclusive members of the 'not a clue' club.
and canada is a much better country than us for it arent they?
and hoping these people slip our coastguard... farking moron.

I know you aren't too fond of reading, which does account for some of your ignorance, but I suggest you give that link a look in, before criticizing Canada's methods of dealing with asylum seekers. They are both much more humane and efficient.

My MEC course is actually a mix of business too, as some of my classmates are MBA students. Therefore the course i am doing is just as applicable in some areas, i just have to get that across to any future employers.
Guess what? I had to pay for my uni degree too, and I was born here. Why is that?
So what do you think of Howard's new policy on education, Spidey?
You still haven't answered my question on why you are shocked that Asians be allowed to vote?
Oh sweet Jesus...
If I were an illegal immigrant, who happened to burn my papers and be a serial rapist/murderer in my country of origin, i'd be hoping to slip by the coast guard and make a little visit to you and your family...
D*ckhead.

Anyone else who wants to move to Australia has to go through all sorts of beaurocratic red tape which can take years. And that's before they're even allowed to set foot in the country.
If these boat people arrive without going through that, they have no right to be here and it's only right we lock them away. Can you really trust them to turn up at their deportation hearings - they've already broken the law once.
Genuine refugees should be looked after, and we do, but why should we let in the rest of them? They have no right to be here. As I mentioned previously, the migration procedures are very tight for non-refugees, and that is the queue the non-refugees are jumping.
Or should we abolish all immigration controls and let anyone who wants to move in, no questions asked.

one thing i want to know is this:
why do these refugees pass by many other safe countries and make the journey all the way out to Australia?
Would you rather run a thousand kilometers to your nearest safe haven, or sail tens of thousands to australia?
It seems strange that these people are claiming to be genuine refugees, yet they dont take the first safe port offered.
Any comments?

and where does it say Canada is a better country? i know Australia always gets higher marks than Canada does.
and is that article concerning refugees where the Canadian govt knows where they come from, and they have their papers, or are we going to continue to compare apples to peaches?
