By Rachel Woodlock, published 17/2/2010

While young Muslim Australians can positively appreciate Australia as a land of opportunity, Ms Pauline Hanson cannot.

Ngarmada is your first language Maori or Gaelic? It sure ain't English.
How can anyone make sense out of this paragraph?
"I doubt those responsible for these posts, if they were to visit, would stay long in NZ, that its indigenous people may perceive them as a source of food at the lower end of the food chain. For I further doubt any of those responsible for these posts, capable of comprehending the concept of doctoral research, that such rigour requires the capacity for original thought.

Blairbar you really are a nasty piece of work. As a dysfunctional parasite you are quite pretentious.

As a doyen of English Grammar you are an obvious impostor, you contribute nothing, but obviously convince yourself your devious cunning is actually related to intelligent thought.

As a desperate racist parasite, you really need professional therapy, most probably that of an institutional nature, although I perceive such accommodation may not be a new experience for you.

Well I didn't understand the paragraph above either, though I got the gist, but I definitely understood the last paragraph!!

I'll admit I'm a bit curious too about the educational background and careers of some of the people who post here. But at any rate let's cool things down?

“What I think was just fascinating from that rant was that you still haven't told me what you do for a living. Are you unemployed? “
Wrong again, do you ever read the posts you are complaining about. Just last week I told you I was a Medical Practitioner. You do have such a conveniently short memory.
Lucy wrote
“Do you have such a huge issue with me because I'm a woman and I disagree with you?”
First of all you tried to label me a racist because I called you a Bogan. I asked you to tell me exactly how the term “bogan” is racist and you basically admitted you were wrong.
You wrote
“It might not be racist per se”
So now you try to accuse me of being sexist, because I choose to argue with you instead of the other male sounding users on OLO. Is that the best you can do? I argue with you because you clearly lack intelligence and are poorly uneducated, yet you seem to enjoy critizing others and labelling them without any proof. You regularly call people’s views racist just because you don’t agree with their views. Have a good look at you posts. Seems any uneducated person who doesn’t like another’s point of view just tries to label them racist or now sexist and walks away.

“Now when I did law at UNSW in the 1990's the tertiary entrance rank for school leavers was well into the 90's. From memory the cut-off was 98.7 and I scored 99.2. I hope that doesn't make you feel small or inadequate. “
Well no, why would it make me feel inadequate? Around half of the lawyers do Law because they are simply too dumb to be doctors. One of my best friends who completed the HSC in the early 90s wanted to be a doctor went to UNSW law school ( I know at the time UNSW was considered by many to be the best in the country).

Continued...

She got close to first place in 1st year and then transferred to medicine, but not before telling the Law faculty exactly where to stick their useless degree. She also told me once that it was the biggest joke of a degree, she stated and I quote “I wouldn’t wipe my arse with a law degree”. I can still remember that 17 years later. I too did a degree at UNSW in the early 90s and some of those friends I mentioned previously went to UNSW Law. At the time UNSW and Macq law schools were two of the easiest degrees to get into in NSW. For those over 21yrs (20 for Macq) UNSW Law simple doubled your best 5 (best 4 for Macq) units (usually students have to count all 10), thus people that would not have been eligible for an Arts degrees could easily gain entry to UNSW Law. A great many students in your course couldn’t even have gained entry to an Arts degree.
Does this make you feel “small or inadequate”

“I came from a poor background. But I've worked hard and I'm doing quite well in a firm”
Come on now, you couldn’t have worked that hard in the 2 years it takes to do a Law degree (please don’t count the other 3 years for the Arts, Science or Commerce component)
Lucy wrote

“As for your friends who are doing law, I know that some law schools let anybody in as graduate entry or as mature age students (over 21). But I got in as a school leaver to a top law school.”
Lucy that’s quiet misleading. Somebody reading these two sentences could be led to believe that your Law school did not let in people under the above quoted scheme. However being a UNSW graduate myself, I happen to know that it was ONLY UNSW Law and Macq Law that allowed students in under these schemes. So the cut-off entry marks you quoted really in no way were a reflection of the standard of entry required.

So you are a nurse? Its a noble profession.

I seem to have really got under your skin. But I agree with what CJ and David wrote in another post, this is getting a bit creepy.

I'm clearly in a different category than your friends and I'm clearly on a different intellectual level to yourself. Plus I'm more rational.

You seem to have a huge issue with women, lawyers, people who don't agree with you, people of other races (I saw your posts on Indian crime). Again not calling you racist just saying that you seem to have an issue, perhaps even a complex. But then I'm not a trained medical professional. Perhaps you could ask your friend or even ...your Mummy.

See you in 24 hours.
