Yo, Hasbeen.

I understand.

It's only Western men who devote their lives to their kids and grand kids welfare.

Suseonline, please let me know what the Atheists have done in Australia, which upsets you so much, I am very interested, waiting to hear from you.

Ludwig,

After reading your first post it brought back memories of migrants who were allowed into Australia if they had a large amount of money.

By that I mean much larger than $50,000.00. It was more like a very minimum of $500,000.00 [larger sums than this ensured quicker processing], and that was back in the late 70's and early'80's. That would equate to what? at least a million dollars or more in today's terms.

Some of these migrants then sent the money back to relatives in their country of origin, who in turn used it to come here. This was not hearsay, but done by someone we knew at that time.

In all fairness to that person, he and his family set up and ran a successful import business with other family members back in his country of origin.

As their English language skills were limited, their employees who dealt with the public were Australian.

Interesting sub-theme being pushed by the emily-listers that the people arguing against the, predominantly muslim, opportunistic boat-people are frightened middle-aged white men.

Violence against women in the West is individualised, unless the woman is unlucky enough to fall in with a bikie gang; in islam it is systemic.

More generally how islam accepts violence per se is evident from their butchering techniques; the do-gooders will never accept the Halal process and islamists will never accept stunning because the beast must be excited through mistreatment so the heart is pumping at a maximum rate before its jugular is slashed and 70 litres of blood is expunged; bleeding stops if the heart stops, so the animal must stay alive, and preferably fearful, during the process; that's why they are tormented.

The position of infidels in islam is not much better than that of the cattle and the role of women is somewhat less again.

Anyone, as I say, particularly women, who is not ‘fearful’ of islam is an idiot who has been insulated from that reality by Western culture.

In that respect the more pertinent theme is why the left, especially leftist women cannot understand that their ‘liberation’ is contingent on a system which keeps such barbarity at bay.

In his new book, Australian Intellectuals, Associate Professor Gregory Melleuish, discusses why Australian academics as emblems of the left are so often hostile to contemporary Australian life and scathing about our Western heritage; Melleuish says;

“This culture of intellectuals (has become) embedded in key institutions, including the universities, the world of the arts and the ABC. It (has become) a subculture isolated from mainstream Australia in intellectual ghettos. It is a world which bristles with hostility, negativity and nihilism.”

As I have suggested this loathing of Australia is so focused it blinds those who have it from other realities. So to Poirot, Suse, Lexi my advice is, trade in your rose-coloured goggles for a burqa.

It's only Western men who devote their lives to their kids and grand kids welfare.
Poirot,
Yes, theirs AND others, unlike men from other cultures. How many donations can you cite that were made by filthy rich non-europeans ? How much do non-european Australians contribute voluntarily by way of community activities, fundraising etc. I'm sure there are some but since you're referring to western men as a whole I feel compelled to ask re non-western as a whole. I noticed that you very slyly used the term westerner but your inference is clearly white. Not a good show Poirot & you're smudging the good reputation of a film character of integrity..
