Not in my name Mr Morrison: compassion and public policy, a case study of Australia and asylum seekers : Comments

By Noel Preston, published 21/7/2014

The claim that one compassionate good is achieved (stopping drownings) should not come at the cost other unjustified practices.

SR,

31% employed where this includes people up to 5 years afterwards. The category "other" is not employment. Compare to skilled migration where there are 84.4% employed.

Dear SM,

<<How many of the 1200 were drowned in your name?>>

People drowned because they decided to sail the big wide ocean in unseaworthy vessels. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Steelredux says: <<Tomorrow is the third anniversary of a certain massacre in Norway. That man was also trying to get rid of 'undesirables'. I will be remembering the victims....>>

Steelredux, do you also remember those who died in the twin towers, or the TWO London bombings, or the Kemyan US embassy bombing, or the Uganda shopping centre massacre, or the dozens of massacres in Nigeria?

Just wondering?

SPQR, violent people are violent people, regardless of their religion or culture, and you know it.

How do you stand with all the deaths in Ireland and England due to the many decades of 'troubles' between the Catholics and Protestants? Were these killers any better than the others?

I agree with keeping violent people out of Australia if we can, but where does it stop?
Do we ban ALL the Irish and English people because they 'might' bring their long-running feud here?

What about all the Israelis or Palestinians?
Maybe the Germans will see a resurgence of their bad Nazi war days?
Shall we ban all of them just in case?
What about Japan?
Even the US is not blameless after they dropped the atomic bombs that killed thousands of predominantly civilians in 2 large Japanese cities years ago.

Violence is a human condition, not just a non-white, non-Christian condition.
Anyone who disagrees is an out and out racist and bigot.

@Susieonline,

<< violent people are violent people, regardless of their religion or culture>>
So, you see no relationship between what someone believes and how they act?
Hmmmmmmmm!

Whilst you will see violent acts throughout human history. You will see a greater concentration of it where cultures or religions which preach violence dominate. And as UN-PC as it is, some creeds are more violent than others. And Islams history is one of the most violent.

The big advantage that Islam has is that people like you either don’t know about its past, and ongoing bloody history –and more often than not don’t even want to know.

<<Violence is a human condition, not just a non-white, non-Christian condition.Anyone who disagrees is an out and out racist and bigot.>>

Where did I suggest it was associated with the colour on ones skin?

HOWEVER! if you ever have the misfortune to undertake “Whiteness Studies “at some of our major universities (as thousands of unsuspecting undergrads have) you will indeed be told that racism is endemic to the white race and practically all of the woes of the world emanate from white colonialism --AND I AM NOT JOSHING!
