By David Leyonhjelm, published 6/5/2013

The Government cannot stop the boats and the Opposition's plan won't do it either. But charging a fee will.

Paul has a whinge and says:

"Where have I posted that I support the Islamic religion?"

Previously Paul said:

"There is much unwarranted hysteria towards these people, mostly of a racial nature, which has no place in Australian society. Hysteria propagated by white supremacists and other racially driven people."

The boat people coming from Indonesia are muslim. I explained my cricism was not racially based because islam is not a race.

Just for the record I support immigration and doing as much for genuine refugees, the ones rotting in the camps while the queue jumpers take their place, as is financially viable, a constraint which the hand-wringers ignore.

Right now the boat-people are the squeaky wheel and the do-gooders are being duped in their moral superiority by their squeaking.

So, the 2 issues are; are the boat-people predominantly economic nation-shoppers?

And what should Australia do about islamic immigration?

So Paul, what are your answers?

Poirot - Do not "shout" (use capital letters excessively).

Officer Poirot notice the last word excessively.

Funny how you are the only one frustrated about this.

Get a life.

Philip S,

I requested you stop shouting after this:

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=14974&page=0#258289

Which was shortly followed by this:

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=14974&page=0#258317

I'm not frustrated at all, Philip S.

You disagreed that all caps was shouting, and I followed up 'tis all.

Both those posts used capitals excessively.

Thanks for toning down.

>>You will not dictate how I post thing, so get over it<<

You'd be a fool to mistake advice for dictation in this case Phil. Nobody likes being shouted at and a lot of people will often form an unfairly negative impression of a person just because that person is too loud. You'd do well to heed Teddy Roosevelts advice on this subject: speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.

Cheers,

Tony

Poirot - You really must be frustrated to go and get the links, again funny it is only you. Get a life.

I am not "toning down" as stated before it is used to emphasize something and when warranted I will do it again.

Quote "I'm not frustrated at all, Philip S" The amount of time you spent on this says differently.
