Well Horus, I’m relieved that you’re relieved that Australia is not about to lose its national language, not about to be politically partitioned along ethnic lines, not about to have its ethnic/cultural majority losing its grip on power.

The conspiracy theorists on OLO have been manic in their fears of the havoc that the wicked ism (the m word) is wreaking in Australia. I thought I should calm things down a little.

However, I see that I have failed to placate aqvarivs. Apparently, Australian (m word) – ‘a divisive and unfair system’ - has given rise not only to the economic and cultural wretchedness of Indigenous Australians but also an 'Ethnic Minority Enterprise Centre' in Scotland. Tomorrow the world!

In the words of our beloved saviour: Be alarmed and alert!

Aye Frank ,but Dinna streetch yer airm farther than yer sleeve'll let ye.

Aqvarius divined well the nature of the beast. We are seeing its works in the recent bombing in London & the recent maraudings of ethnic gangs in Melbourne

There be a price to pay if yer seek to champion its cause.
Put away your bagpipes laddie & meet me in the glen yonder with yer claymore.

"We are seeing its works in the recent bombing in London & the recent maraudings of ethnic gangs in Melbourne.

There be a price to pay if yer seek to champion its cause." (Quote Horus).

I have to concede if this is your first experience of bombings in London, and of marauding 'gangs' ethnic or otherwise; I can well imagine that you are a worried fella, what with the in-laws an' all.

But..........what price did you have in mind?

It's happening! I saw it on TV. A white man in Ethiopia (some thought him a bit yellow). I knew the dreaded m'ism would strike there sooner or later. Now I just know the Inuits in Alaska are in fear and trepidation. Is there no end to the virus of m'ism?

Bombings occur/occurred in, for instance, Argentina, Italy, Spain, Algeria, India, Iraq, even in Yemen a few days ago -and hardly contributed with “multiculturalism” exclusively, as according to some, in London recent attempts.

And ethnic/racial political divisiveness in Australia is not a question of future possibility, but a reality of surrounding since the First Fleet: do, the most obvious example, candidates from parties reflect no ethnic majority of a particular electorate usually?

On the other hand, the Alaskans very differ from other American folks for their “support a stranger” attitude regardless races/ethnicity, reflecting the reality of simply surviving in Alaskan natural surrounding.

Yer aff yer heid chum -twelve pints is moor den enuff tae get ye pished. Dinna wanna put off our stoush till yer sobber up?

Nice point about the Alaskans ,but :
-What is the ratio of Native Alaskans to non- Alaskans nowa days?
-What is the Linga franca of Alaska nowa days ?
May be a good reason not to emulate them too much -eh??
[Are you on my side or Franks -your recent parry drew the blood of the McGols!]

See note re Alaskans, above.
