Thank you for the links AC. Ritter is ranting about something I have known for quite a while now.
Prejudice is an emotional commitment to ignorance. Nathan Rutestein

I’ve just finished reading a book by Billy Connelly. What an outstanding example of someone taking the long rambling road, discovering the complex magnificence of humanity in every corner of our rocky little planet. He took every opportunity to grab life by the balls and participate in the excitement the humour and absurd stupidity of people everywhere.

Why can’t the haters be more like Billy. Oh, that’s right = Prejudice is an emotional … you know the rest.

Hi ttbn,

One sided rubbish, true, migrants remit money to help relatives "back home", Chinese/Australians and Indian/Australians are two of the biggest. On the other hand both China and India invest heavily in Australia, about $75 billion between them in direct investment. China alone has provided over $200 billion to Australian businesses in credit and loans.

On non productive waste, The taxpayer pumps over $60 billion annually into non productive aged welfare recipients. Money that could be used to build schools and hospitals, roads and railways!

BTW, I sent $NZ200 to our niece in Aotearoa, just the other day, get the moko's some new winter coats, been freezing over there.

Hi Aries,

I just wanted to share his rant and the story, I'm glad you approve.
I thought it was a good storytelling, and it explained a little about how this rift between Sunni and Shia came about and their willingness to become martyrs.

I see everybody else is getting along fine, all sharing their thoughts and opinions, which is good and healthy I suppose.
- But I think I might still sit this one out.

The Billy Connolly book sounds like it was a really great read.
"What an outstanding example of someone taking the long rambling road"
- I think you might've gotten that spot on.

Sixty seven percent of immigrants say that sending money back home to family “was a significant factor in migrating to Australia”. And they send 2% of Australia's GDP to the foreigners in a foreign country.

The fact that Christianity is part of of the basis of Anglo Saxon Australian culture also has to be taken into account. It could well be that Albanese (I say Albanese because he is a dictator in the Party, and the goons can't do say anything without his agreement- just look at the disagreement in the party on immigration, which has stopped Burke's speech until Albanese gets back from holiday to sort it out) is deliberately trying to de-Christianise Australia with increased Islamism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and every known religion.

Christianity has never been weaker than it is now in Australia - due largely to the Bishops and the Pope interfering in politics and telling people how to vote. Perhaps Christianity doesn't deserve to survive, but do we really want it replaced by Islam or other rubbish that worships rocks and animals?

'Christianity has never been weaker than it is now in Australia - due largely to the Bishops and the Pope interfering in politics and telling people how to vote.'

problem ttbn is the disgusting woke churches that tell people to vote for degenerates like the Greens or the witches that murder babies up to birth. The unions tell people to vote labor, the marxist on abc tell people to vote Greens/Labor, schools indoctrinate kids into marxist, uni's indoctrinate the gullible to vote for Labor, the muslims vote labor for more and more tax payer money. Why should not the church tell people to vote for those aligning for their values. Are they the only ones not allowed an opinion?
