I am not sure how a psychologist/psychiatrist would analyse you. You seem to see the world as only a response to your existence. You really should see someone about that. I do believe that, in person, you would actually talk at people rather than to, or with them. Borderline Personality Disorder perhaps? As for your 'distinguished' person; in what way has he actually contributed anything concrete to the Australian economy or social fabric? Would it make the slightest bit of difference to Australia if he were not here? Your mind is a circus and the clowns are in charge.

Dear Cody,
If you took your blinkers off for a moment you just might see the world as it really is. It's a beautiful place - and humans are the most extraordinary creatures. Yes, I have met some bad people along the way. But I have also met some amazing souls as well. You want me to see a psychiatrist? Why, because my views don't agree with yours? And you're ignorant and don't understand big words? I am constantly amazed that people such as yourself who constantly blurp about social cohension in this country - are the very ones who don't get on with others. Strange that. As I cited earlier Australia can never go back to where it was before white settlement, where it was in 1901, where it was before Mabo. Like it or not, we are a nation of diversity and all the contradictions that go with it. Managing these contraditions is our inheritance and Multiculturalism our best, even if imperfect guide. You need to do a bit of research to what Australia was really like before the waves of immigrants arrived - (dull and boring - a cultural backwater)- this country was made on the backs of immigrants. And continues to be made. You as you grow old will end up having health care given by immigrant doctors, you'll end up in a Nursing home being looked after by immigrant staff- and as you slober into you corn flakes - it will be immigrants who'll wipe your mouth, feed you, and change your nappies.

I am a metallurgist. I have more than one University Degree. I have lived and worked all over the world, from Greece to New Zealand. I work in the real world with real people, and we are responsible for producing far and away the vast majority of Australia's wealth. Far too much of that money is spent on errant knaves such as yourself, and the people and offices you so admire. The only time you don't contradict yourself is when you keep your mouth shut. I have no intention of ever going into a nursing home or needing nappies. You, on the other hand, appear to already wear your nappies on your head, and those nappies are most certainly full of their desired load. Posted by Cody, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 11:24:50 AM

Foxy, "You need to do a bit of research to what Australia was really like before the waves of immigrants arrived - (dull and boring - a cultural backwater)- this country was made on the backs of immigrants"
You always revert to your cultural elitism and cultural cringe. That is why you are in the habit of repeating that offensive sledge by Phillip Adams, wherein he claimed in truly culturally cringing Left fashion that Australia was 'nullaboring' before the RECENT large waves of immigration for ethnic 'diversity'. If you actually read Adam's quote more closely you might realise that he was also calling your parents and yourself 'nullaboring' because your parents were offered and accepted sanctuary in Australia immediately after WW2. Adams was referring to the migration waves that came decades later. It follows that the Lituanians and other European peoples who came to Oz are not part of the political 'Progressives'' grand plan for the Asianisation of Australia. Nonetheless, that Adams' snipe seems to appeal to your distaste for our British inheritance and traditions, as influenced by post-WW2 European migration. Your dislikes to one side, not everyone believes it is necessary as the genuflecting (to Asia) political 'Progressives' aka International Socialists Hawke and Keating did, that Australia has to reflect Asia, to be Asianised to fit in with its geographical location. The linked article given below would be interesting to others, since you are always firm in your bigotry (Brandis would support your free speech, not the prejudice) and forever endeavoring to sledge Australia as Adams did in the quote that has so taken your fancy that you must continually use it over the years, "We don't have to be Asianised to be an asset to the region", (The Australian, November 14, 2012) http://tinyurl.com/k84wny Posted by onthebeach, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 12:40:09 PM

My link supplied above might not work, here again,

First you bring up Allah (BTW - I'm a Christian).
Now you bring up flatulence. Your obvious frustration
with words of more than one syllable is very telling.
You obviously are a very insecure, troubled soul. But never
mind. We can all understand where you're coming from
and why. I fully realise why you are unable to pronounce
longer surnames. You probably can only speak one language
as well and I'm guessing you haven't travelled either at all,
or perhaps only to places like Bali.
You need to get out more.
For your information, Dr Tim Soutphommasane is an extremely
distinguished persona. He's an Australian political
philosopher (University of Sydney), a writer (has written
many books published by Oxford University Press), a public official,
He is currently Australia's Race Discrimination Co9mmissioner
(five year appointment - on 20 August 2013) - and much, much, more.
You should do a bit of research before you post - otherwise
you do appear as an ignoramus.
And in closing - I would just like to add that my taste
in food does not extend to shish-kebabs. I prefer sea-food.
My ancestry is from a land situated on the shores of
the ocean, noted for its luscious forests, beautiful orchards,
plentiful lakes and fertile soil.
As for your suggestion of my reading the Quran at night?
You flatter me. However, I'd much rather curl up with
something a bit lighter - like Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code."
Which is more entertaining.
Cheers.
