As noted a "Spiv" can be described as a purveyor of the dodgy. You know Global Warming, Aussie Patriarchy and the total absence of agency by Muslims.

"Progressives" seem to think that everything is "evil, cis-normative white men" and in a racist manner deny any agency amongst any others. Terrorists are because they want to be, they want to kill for Allah and the Caliphate.

The first thing I wish to do, Mr Tomlinson, is to thank you. It was this perverted concept from people like yourself, that white people are responsible for everything bad in this world, that converted me away from being from a trendy lefty like yourself, to a mature person who renounced his youthful and immature left wing idealism.

The best damned thing that ever happened to the aborigines was the coming of the British. If this country was run by aborigines, it would be just another black ruled economic basket case holding out the begging bowl to the rest of the world, while the aboriginal leaders stashed their ill gotten gains in Swiss bank accounts. Think of ATSIC's corruption and multiply it by a thousand, and you got the idea.

White North European people have the knack of creating successful societies, and we could do a lot better if we were not handicapped by socialist puritans like yourself, who despise the society they choose to live in. It is funny how the aborigines claim that the whites are their oppressors, when every other ethnicity in the world is clamouring to get into Australia, or into any other country settled by white people.

Now you are moaning about Australia's security police network. Hey dummy, it is people like you who wanted multiculturalism, and who wanted Muslims to come to Australia, and now the we are seeing the negative consequences of that stupidity. But instead of sheepishly admitting that you were wrong all along, and that importing crime and welfare prone people into this country who want to turn us into a theological dictatorship was insanity, you complain about the methods used to combat the problems that you and your brainless ilk created.

The rarified air of academies is obviously affecting your ability to think straight. Get yourself a real job where you actually produce something and you might be able to evolve a brain capable of critical thinking. You academics seem to live in some sort of bubble where your inbred opinions are at total variance to self evident reality

LEGO, your admiration for a civilisation that has pushed much life on earth to the brink of extinction, and shows no sign of even recognising that fact, does you little credit. Even less admirable is your bigotry, racism and anti-everything-that-you-don't-admire attitude.
Deliberately fomenting this sort of discord is one thing that, understandably, makes some disadvantaged people respond with violence.

The ONLY way to stop terrorists is to stop them wanting to be terrorists.
It shouldn't be that hard. No one wants to blow themselves up normally. Life must be pretty bad to want to do such a thing.
It would be easy to make their lives better to a point they would never think of blowing themselves up.

But that's not what our leaders want.
They see terrorists as useful idiots allowing them to scare us into accepting any old oppression and subjugation. And we do!
They don't want terrorism to stop. They don't want peace. They want fear, power and exploitation. And that is what we get.
Wake up people.

Geoff of Perth, i hear where you are coming from but the answer is easy read LEGO's rant, then after we deport all racial, religious or ethnic groups that are incapable of assimilation we can go back to being happier, healthier & wealthier.

ybgirp, your views match with less than 10% of the population.

mikk, spot on.

True about many Muslims LEGO

Paul Keating stacked too many Western Sydney electorates with Sure to Vote Labor poor Muslims from South Lebanon.

The uni lefties are not nation building material.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Aborigines. I've lived in a parts of rural Queensland where aborigines are systematicly described in code as "olive skinned" on Driver's Licences while very olive skinned people from Southern Europe are not. Discrimination against Aborigines for jobs in town was blatant.

But hey there were many new matte black Sudanese in town who everyone could look down on.
