Dear Critic,

«A bigger question here may surround the idea that ttbn has no right to hold a preference over who comes into the country.»

I am sorry if that is what you or anyone else understood - this is not what I said:

Firstly, I never referred to Ttbn but to Australian governments in general, in fact to all governments, not only Australian.

Now Ttbn and everyone else may freely hold (and express) any preferences whatsoever, including who (if any) they want to share their country with: there is absolutely nothing wrong about it. Period.

What is wrong, however, is to act upon such preferences by actively selecting, either in person or through one's [democratic] representatives, who is allowed to come and physically block the others from coming.

I hope this clarifies my position.

Hi Yuyutsu,

Your views mostly differ in direction from most on this forum, particularly those of a hard right Nationalists like ttbn. You don't believe in national boarders or the authority of government, that's fine. I think you don't believe anyone has the authority to prevent the free movement of others, and since you don't recognise national boarders then preventing people from moving across those unrecognised boarders is not a question for you. Am I reading you correctly.

Dear Paul,

Thank you, this is correct.

Yuyutsu

You are really in trouble when only the leading nutter on OLO understands you.

That's more than what you can claim.

A nutter here
A nutter there
I see a nutter everywhere
But don't stand behind me
I may be smart
But when I'm stressed
I simply f**t!

Love the sand-pit!
Thanks ttbn.
