Good blokes or smug thugs : Comments

By Sarah Russell, published 15/4/2015

Gillian Triggs remained composed and dignified. She is a role model for all of us at the receiving end of such attacks in both public and domestic places.

Dear OnTheTeach,

I read here an article that is full of hate and I see replies that are also full of hate - so I wonder why those people who hate each other so much want to stay together.

Of course I rather stymie this stupid debate which has already lasted over a century with no resolution (but with terrible consequences, including the failure to address so many real issues which I find so much more important) - and suggest a simpler solution instead. Do you actually believe that a debate could ever convince either side while real conflicting interests are at play?

Just as you may freely express your support of either the red team or the blue team, I may also express my view that people who don't like each other should better each go their own way rather than attempt to subdue the other.

Dear Joe,

In this instance, the issue of hate is more serious than the specific blames thrown at each other. We are looking at two tribes which would rather see each other on their dinner plate.

Dear Hippie,

Lets take it a step at a time: I will be more than happy to have a discussion on the practicalities once the quarrelling sides agree in principle that separation is at least not a bad idea.

I never made my preference for smaller independent countries a secret, but this doesn't mean that populations will be forced to move; or won't be free to travel; or that borders will be closed. International agreements are quite possible, most of Europe for example has open borders, much of it a common currency and the NATO alliance for common defence.

Craig, I think you are giving Yuyutsu more credit than he deserves. Going on his track record, he would be deadly serious with his question.

But, I take you point regarding the reference to him being high when he posted the question (twice). My apologies Yuyutsu, I'll aim to be less sarcastic toward you in the future.

Yes Yuyutsu, I despise Gillian Triggs and Sarah Russel and every other person who wants to destroy my society for their own vanity. I share the same country because there is nothing much I can do about it these people except to ridicule them.

The problem of splitting the land and forming one land for the white racists and one for the multicultural white haters, is that our white society would of course be successful and prosperous, while the multicultural society would be dysfunctional and bankrupt. The multicultural Australian nation which Gillian Triggs and Sarah created would be FUBAR'd so much that everyone in multicultural Australia would be swarming over the border into white Australia wanting "Asylum."

This is pretty much already happening. The Australians are fleeing multicultural suburbs and forming their own suburbs in new housing estates on the city fringes. The only white people who remain in places like Auburn and Punchbowl witht heir almost nightly shootings are angry and frightened elderly folk, who can't afford to move.

I don't know where Gillain Triggs and Sarah Russel live, but you can bet it is in some leafy white middle class alcove as far away from multiculturalism and it's problems as they can get. It may be fashionable to pretend that you hate your own and prefer ethnic Australia, but most of the people who advocate multiculturalism try to keep as far away from it's consequences a possible. The Labor member for Cabramatta lives in Coogee.

The problem for white society is that we are running out of places to keep away from everybody else. I mean it is flattering to think that everybody wants to live in our countries, but I prefer for them to say in their own countries, solve their own problems, and stop invading mine.

Yuyutsu, "most of Europe for example has open borders"

There are unforeseen negative consequences too.

Sure it suits migrants but has (say) the UK public always gained? The answer is emphatically in the negative and the UK parliament is considering its options after receiving solid boots to the backside from a public exasperated by TOO HIGH and poorly managed immigration.

CH, you may be right...

However, judging from the answer to his question, I'd say the characterisation of "hatred" isn't too strong. What a horrid mind some people inhabit.

'The Labor member for Cabramatta lives in Coogee.' says it all Lego. The Australian voter has been very dumbed down. Its like many of the protestors who are finding another way of causing civil unrest by protesting about aboriginal community closures. Had a mate who visited a community recently. Out of a dozen or so houses only one family in community. The rest travelling around other communities (oe in prison). Of course a full time teacher was living there. What a joke.
