I thought you believed in god - I didn't think you believe you are god.

And this on a thread that is about the lack of retaliation in Australia.

No one is under any obligation to answer your inquistition as Johnny quite accurately described it.

The soccer match match that occured between France and Algeria following Sptember 11 really does sum up what we are facing. It was appalling.

I read the articles that BOAZ supplied, and indeed they do make for scary reading. It is sadly true that racial-based crimes are increasingly following against the majority, but in the elite media it appears as though the majority are at fault.

Until we face facts, ethnic crime will continue.

BOAZ_David, do you acept that evangelical christians are a minority in this country?

Do you agree not to do or support any action which might seek to impose evangelical christian standards on the rest of the community?

etc, etc.

David, almost all of us are part of some kind of minority. Me I'm a whitish agnostic straight single dad - somewhat less than 50% of the population therefore a minority. That does not mean I have no right to attempt to influence the direction this society takes. Any person who chooses to make their home in this country has a legitimate place in the debate about this countries future.

I would agree that those who find the dominate culture so unacceptable that they will use any means to destry it should not come (or leave if they know of a better place). That is different to legitimate involvement in the body politic.

Dear Mr Garra,
If you actually take a look at the world for once, you will realise that all of Asia is ethnocentric and racist as they have institutionalised discrimination (such as Koreans in Japan), the richest muslim countries in the gulf employ the largest migrant worker cluster in the world ( mostly from SE Asia) who -if you check the NGOs- are treated like slaves and dogs, Africa is riddled with tribalism and slavery and exploitatian.

How are Western nations racist if we are the only nations that have laws protecting all sorts of minorities, we have along with many other Western nations undergone massive demographic changes (ABS confirms in Aust. that Anglos are only 8.5 million of the total 20). This has not led to any backlash or attacks on ethnic groups, infact it is the minorities who attack us. I challenge you OR ANYONE ELSE on this site to take a good look at all sorts of statisitc sites and you will see that racist gang attacks on whites are extremely common(although I personally know that the coward D.Weatherburn at ABS tries to hide these stats, such as blending middle eastern groups with the broad "caucasian" title), and not even once has there been a similar incident in reverse, other than some mentally ill person calling them names. Not to mention the fact that these communities have established themselves quite graciously as Aust. crime capitals(i.e.Bankstown,Punchbowl,Cabramatta/Fairfield). And it is only after putting up with this for thirty years (murders, gangs, drugs, all racism) that now just a few people are actually only talking about it(one nation) and they are called racists.

You say all the postings are racist, but if you would have no problem believing them if they were posted by your ethnic pets saying that they "feel funny at the shops". Why wouldn't paranoid ethnocentric racists think that everyone is staring at them? Especially if they know in the back of their minds about their cultures' crime problem etc, and that this culture in Aust. critically analyses issues such as placing bedsheets on their wives.
