"I spotted you down at the Golden Dragon the other night"
That'd be my mate Stir-Man down at the Redland Bay Chinese cafe.

I had to laugh at your comment since I actually did grab the Chinese $9.90 special down at the Victoria Point Shopping Centre earlier today, it's not as good as Stir-Man, more like a City Wok Special, but it was alright, load in the beef and blackbean, honey chicken and chicken and vegetable all in one tub and seperate them with fried rice and load more of the same on top and cram that lid down...

Thank you Mr Chinese man.

Deep fried Ice cream... I don't think I've had that since I was a kid.

If you like a good pizza try Panchos, though Wynnum Pizza and Pizzaland weren't bad back in the day.

I don't hate foreigners, I just don't want to play 'spot the Aussie' in my own country either.
Surely there's some middle ground.

Rental prices have skyrocketed of late, and Aussies are living in the local parks by the thousands, this doesn't seem like a good outcome to me.

"We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream, and sing with one voice
"I am, you are, we are Australian".

We did share a dream, now it's ruined by bloody immigrants..
Can't even get a house rental for under $1000 a week around here.
And I bet that's cheap compared to other places.

More than 1000 rescues this summer amid spike in NSW beach visits

Mostly foreigners I bet.
Maybe the Surf Life Saving Clubs shuld stop trying to raise money from the locals and start charging the foreign born and tourists for their rescues.

Hi CM,

I consider the question of multiculturalism a little differently. In looking at the nations and people of the world, I take the view that it is the interaction of people, for good or bad, that has been the most powerful driver of the development of civilisation. People at the centre of that flux of people and ideas have developed at a vastly greater rate than those walled off or at the end of the railway line.

No, I don't think Foxy or Paul are racist. I've taken a liking to them, as I have to many here. OLO is a little mug of the swirling soup of ideas and argument that drive the world onward, giving hope that our civilisation will continue to grow and prosper.

What confuses me is why Foxy and Paul should choose to favour a people who shun multiculturalism over a people who embrace it. A people living in a land of a monoculture, xenophobic, homophobic, and raising their children to believe it their duty to kill every Jew on earth, hardly sounds to me a place that exponents of multiculturalism would be championing.

Marxism is about the global rule of the academy idealists in the style of Plato, they want to destabilize and absorb other global structures using social engineering, not just white structures. Machiavelli compared Asian to European models of government. Marxism seems to be essentially an Asian style of government. They are using the European principle of "equality under law" against itself.

CHAPTER IV
WHY THE KINGDOM OF DARIUS, OCCUPIED BY ALEXANDER, DID NOT REBEL AGAINST THE SUCCESSORS OF THE LATTER AFTER HIS DEATH.

"the kingdoms known to history have been governed in two ways: either by a prince and his servants, who, as ministers by his grace and permission, assist in governing the realm; or by a prince and by barons, who hold their positions not by favour of the ruler but by antiquity of blood. Such barons have states and subjects of their own, who recognise them as their lords, and are naturally attached to them."

"In those states which are governed by a prince and his servants, the prince possesses more authority, because there is no one in the state regarded as a superior besides himself, and if others are obeyed it is merely as ministers and officials of the prince, and no one regards them with any special affection. Examples of these two kinds of government in our own time are the Turk and the King of France. All the Turkish monarchy is governed by one ruler, the others are his servants, and dividing his kingdom into "sangiacates," he sends to them various administrators, and changes or recalls them at his pleasure. But the King of France is surrounded by a large number of ancient nobles, recognised as such by their subjects, and loved by them; they have their prerogatives, which the king cannot deprive them of without danger to himself. Whoever now considers these two states will see that it would be difficult to acquire the state of the Turk; but having conquered it, it would be very easy to hold it."

"Therefore, whoever assaults the Turk must be prepared to meet his united forces, and must rely more on his own strength than on the disorders of others"
