What an evil, wicked, ill thing that Greg Barns is.

Just read the first few lines, the generalisations and racist rants are enough to convict him of first class hypocrasy.

It's like a paedophile writing an article about how dispicable and too young marriage and sex at 18 is.

What an ill, racist, elitist, ethnic-pet keeper, poor person despiser, scum.

Talking about racism and the PC brigade.Just this morning at about 2.00 am a Middle Eastern Gang of about 25 people is denied entry into the Greenwood Pub at North Sydney, Police are called and are asked to leave,some begin to push the police around,it becomes a stand off and the police back off and play the waiting game until the thugs decide to seek a victim elsewhere to bash.Not a single person arrested.

Morris Iemma is madly rushing around hailing his discovery of a few white supremacists yet our police force is still too scared to take on Middle Eastern gangs.Don't upset the Middle Eastern Gangs because they can get too violent.What a gutless incompetent Govt NSW has,that betrays the good will and obedience of the law of it's hardworking citizens.The power of these gangs is the result of a Govt bereft of ideas or courage.

Morris Iemma and his Govt should be charged with sedition and treason
because they have ignored the pleas of honest diligent people and try to fob it all off as anglo racism.

My very great fear is that people like the author of this thread may have an influence on the ALP.
Never before has it been more important that Labor win an election, and our chances are zero if we bury our heads in the sand.
Rubbish for the most part the thread overlooks true raceism and criminal activety from a section of Sydneys Lebanese Muslim comunity.
Yes lunatics acted poorly from both sides but lack of powers for police to act started this.
Leave Australia if you think its a pigsty take our states leader with you he is of little use.

And another thing, about the relation between riots and global capitalism:

State and Federal governments find it CHEAPER to import skills rather than spend money on educating existing Australian citizens. They find it alluring to perform the TURNBULLIAN trick of stripping money out of free education and giving it to the wealthy elite as TAX CUTS. This is supposed to create employment as the rich spend more on goods and services. And it does create employment. Slave lanour only for skilled people and government policy is to immigrate such skills to beef up budget surpluses while stripping vast funding from public education. That's how the Libs keep the budget in the black. It is also how they keep sections of the community in hopelss despair as they fight each other for respect like spiders in a jar. It is not racism or xenophobia, it is government policy.

FREE PUBLIC EDUCATION in Australia is the answer to the problem, not policing. FPE is not an option, it is a must. We have the employment skills within Australia and they are far better off being trained for valued and respected positions that out bashing their neighbours.

The next Federal government in Australia will be the one that promises free public education as its Number ONE priority. Kim Beasley should take note. The Libs are so far out of touch, their only answer to riots is to ignore them, immigrate over them or lock us down. They have been in offic too long. A new broom is destined to sweep the floor of parliament clean.

And it is important to remember that record minerals prices and exports are driving the Australian economy. Ipso facto, these minerals belong to all Australians and the biggest contribution their profits can make to Australia is to bring OUR skill sets in line with the best in the world. Therin lies the end of racism and dissent, the end of skills shortages and the end of public officials gouging rich futures at the expense of we the people of this great nation.

I came to Australia over 43 years ago from England. My family is very racially mixed, but basically Caucasian. There have been some comments about some of the newcomers to Australia being disapproving of Australian women wearing bikinis. What's new? Several years ago, during a debate in the NSW parliament on clothes optional beaches, then MP Fred Nile said that he'd like to see us all [on the beach] in neck-to-knees. [I'm not joking, this is true!]

Back in 1962, when it came to acceptance of bikinis, England was a few years behind continental Europe, but well ahead of Australia, where girls still risked being ordered off the beach by over zealous beach inspectors if their bikinis were judged to be too revealing. My first wife looked good in string bikinis and I've never been the jealous, insecure type, so I encouraged her to wear them.

One time we were sitting on an uncrowded Perth beach. A man of "Anglo-Australian" appearance settled himself near us where he could see between my wife's legs. I told him that there was plenty of room on the beach and he could go and sit elsewhere. He said that he would sit where he pleased. So I told him that if he didn't move, then I would make him move. And he moved! Life was pretty simple in those days, there was no expectation that he would go off and come back with about 25 of his mates.

Presumably no-one would have accused me of being racist, I was merely being chivalrous. [Yes, a funny old-fashioned word, but I believe that many Australian men are naturally chivalrous when it comes to looking after women.]

But what if that was today and the ill-mannered man was of "Middle Eastern" appearance. Would that make me racist?

I suppose it could be said that by encouraging my wife to wear a string bikini on an Australian beach after some of my Australian friends had told me that it could get her ordered off [that never happened], I was imposing my culture on my host country.

Greg, if you want REAL fear, racism, discrimination and xenophobia, I suggest you look at the life and works of Mohammed and his followers. This is not about Australians, Europeans, Asians, “people of middle eastern appearance” or even kangaroos.

This is about a people that live by a code of hate and anger. This is about a people who want special privileges for themselves and who want to impose their will upon others. They, just like you, will not accept full equality between people. People like you and they must blame others and demand they be exempt from normal standards of civil society, and be treated in a special, or in PC lingo, more ‘sensitive’ manner because they, of course, are persecuted by the evil, ignominious, hateful majority. Most of all, this is about a people, you and Muslims, that are in denial.

To deny and ignore this fact is to be blind to current events. Of course, people like you will always blame others – it is the politically correct thing to do. And when the next riots come, or a terror attack – and be certain they will come - you will blame Australia, white European culture or Christianity, again. That is the dogma of multiculturalism.

Oh yes, riots can happen in Melborne. The genie is out of the bottle.

Before I go let me share an article about Muslim demands in India…

Of course this could never happen to Australia. Even if Muslims in Canada wanted the right to murder apostates leaving Islam, that doesn't tell us anything does it. Lets all hold hands and sing kumbayah.

I wonder if our Muslims friends here of Paki descent ever consider the differences between the way India (Hindu majority) treats its minority religions and the way Pakistan (Muslim country) treats its religious minorities - the few that it hasn’t driven away or killed. Oh excuse me, that may cause these people to think about Islam. How careless of me.
