LR4A: Re the cultural divide, my proposition would clearly incorporate people into the neighbourhood, not leave them isolated in enclaves within Australia, lonely and trapped in their own culture.
You have missed the point entirely. The Government went to great pains to disperse the Aboriginals around the communities. They took great pains to avoid putting them into enclaves. The problem was, as I explained previously, that these Aboriginals were taken from a lifestyle in the bush that they had enjoyed for thousands of years & dumped in the 21 st. Century a world they knew nothing about. It didn’t work & still hasn’t worked.
These people are coming from Muslim states that are still living as they were 4000 years ago. They have a religion that still adheres to traditions, beliefs & a culture that is1400 years old and they refuse to change. In fact they demand that we change our traditions, beliefs & a culture to suit them.
LR4A: In praising “democracy” you also seem to forget your own bitterness when your party loses a political competition. The way we do democracy breeds resentment & hatred, not the acceptance you pretend comes from majority decisions.
I don’t have a “Political Party” I support anyone who I think may try to make a difference. At the Moment it happens to be Bob Katter, but that could change if someone better came along. Resentment & Hatred.? I don’t think so. Some people will be disgruntled, for sure, but the decision is accepted. Resentment & Hatred, if you don’t get your own way, is predominantly a Middle Eastern thing for the most part, that’s why they are at each other’s throats all the time.
LR4A: Let’s don’t pretend “democracy” is “fair” – it’s just the guy with the biggest stick wins. The solution doesn’t rest in politics – voters aren’t going to vote for a lower standard of living.
You obviously have something against Democracy. Your alternate, “Sharia Law “ is totally unacceptable in a Western Society context.
