We're not racist, just trying to stop boats : Comments

By Lyn Bender, published 11/6/2013

There they are on the Bridging Visa to nowhere, waiting for nothing, as nothing continues on. Like an unending scene in Samuel Becket's absurdist play, Waiting for Godot.

LEGO,

While you're giving out free psychological advice, you might like to pop Constance on your couch and have a tinker around inside 'er psyche.

She pops by OLO once a month, seemingly for the sole purpose of giving Lexi a serve - and to fire of a few drippy pot-shots in the direction of Poirot.

Sort it out can you.

Cheers

: )

The obvious solution is for lexi and Poirot to flutter off on their pixie wings and land in a muslim country, live as a woman in the country and report back if they can in a year or so's time.

No need to do that, cohenite.

It's much simpler to just avoid the "oi, oi, oi" resonating from the rumpus room containing the "We're not racist" brigade.

Although it's worth popping in sometimes just to get a realistic handle on the latest version of Aussie insularity and paranoia.

And to hear cohenite extend his inanity by uttering his famous, yet predictably boring, line, "Picked out your burqa yet, Poirot?"

Hi Poirot.

Thank you for telling me that Lexi is already under treatment from Constance for her delusive state. And after reading Constance's list of Lexi's symptoms, I agree with her prognosis.

Now, lie on the couch and I will see if I can treat your particular delusion.

To begin with, your stereotype of your opponents is wrong. You are prejudging us to all be racists who are pretending to be non racists. That is completely wrong with me. I am definitely a racist. I used to be an anti racist, but I became aware of a fundamental contradiction in the "anti racist" argument. That is, that everything that ever went wrong with every dysfunctional race was all the fault of the white race.

Now, Poirot. My culture can not indoctrinate me to recognise racism everywhere and then think that I am too dumb to see it myself in the so called "anti racist" argument. Forced to choose between two racist arguments to explain minority dysfunction, I was obliged to dispense with my cultural conditioning and instead rely totally upon dispassionate logic and reason. Logic and reason force me to conclude that different races have different physical and mental attributes that gave each race (or ethnicity) an evolutionary advantage in the particular environments they evolved in.

My opponents can be a diverse lot. But central to their thinking, is the very noble one of desiring to end all human conflict. But they are using an ideology based upon flawed logic.

They have convinced themselves that every human is equal in every way. Which is funny, because many of those who advocate this ideology are the biggest snobs around. This nonsensical Egalitarian logic, has become an identifying characteristic of a brahmin caste of educated people. This caste seems to have a compulsive need to think that they are smarter, more morally pure, and therefore superior than the low born people they despise.

And that is why Constance and I and I are having so much trouble treating people like you. We can't attack your attitudes without attacking your positive self image.

LEGO,

I already knew "you" were racist.

By all means go right ahead. Constance will be a superb crony if your quest is to make a once-a-month incursion onto OLO to slap Lexi with a wilted celery stalk.

On the whole, I couldn't give two hoots what you believe (as in it's not particularly interesting to me). I only dropped by on this occasion as I noted that Constance thought it would be a great opportunity to clamber up and join you on your soapbox in order to facilitate her latest broadside to Lexi.

She's rather fond of parachuting into threads for that explicit purpose.

Ho Hum.......

Dear LEGO,

While your opinions are appreciated
my reason for leaving is that I would
have preferred to keep our discussion
focused on a more professional level.

Dear Constance,

You've obviously given a great deal of
thought to what you post. And much as
I'm flattered by all this attention, you're
really giving me more credit and
attention than I deserve.

Dear cohenite,

Let's keep our discussion focused on
the real issues at hand here.

Dear Poirot,

Thank You
