Foxynichol,

Wether or not others have your level of edumacation is irrelevent, have you guys got your heads planted so firmly up your stuckup backsides you cant see anothers point of view for all the crap in the way.

But thats the way with the left they are elitist at the ordinary persons expense.

You see Taryn they hate themselves for thier priveledged white skin and thier loathing knows no bounds except to hate those of us who will have to deal with thier peculiar aspirations by way of more laws to stop us normal people enjoying ourselves and to top it off let us fend for ourselves with Islamic scum that will infest whom they wish to bring here while they live in thier nice safe suburbs in thier nice safe government jobs or sit on the dole in some out of the way place where they can go and visit the unwashed masses once or twice a year.

They are traitors Tarryn, they hate themselves and there is nothing anyone can do for them now.

Please everyone send white feathers to them.

Tarryn I hope your daughter is ok. One muslim stabbed my friend in a kebab shop in Manly, they needed to redecorate afterwards

Scotty, your thread and you say:

"You see Taryn they hate themselves for thier priveledged white skin and thier loathing knows no bounds except to hate those of us who will have to deal with thier peculiar aspirations by way of more laws to stop us normal people enjoying ourselves and to top it off let us fend for ourselves with Islamic scum that will infest whom they wish to bring here while they live in thier nice safe suburbs in thier nice safe government jobs or sit on the dole in some out of the way place where they can go and visit the unwashed masses once or twice a year."

You must admit, you have a lot of hate and loathing yourself Scotty, and all this in just one sentence.

I agree that those violent, rioting, drunken Cronulla troublemakers should not be welcome in "our" country, but what other country would take them?

From a different perspective, I've witnessed two occassions where a Muslim woman was jostled in an attempt to remove her head scarf. One was spat on and her groceries scattered - the culprits? - white anglo kids still in their school uniform and being egged on by another very Australian housewife standing by.

Made me so proud.

I think, if nothing else, Scotty should be commended for raising this obviously critical issue. The fact that we're focused currently on the Islamic immigration is a sign of the current wave, we had similar discussions when we were concerned with the Asian invasion, before that the White Australia policy, before that Chinese, before that ...

What this thread has shown is a strong polorisation of opinion, which has been heightened over the past decade with wars in the Middle East, a strong media push of Islamic extremists and terrorists - but they are the minority!

I would hate if Christianity were based on the teachings of the Ku Klux Klan or White Supremists (all claim they are Christian). Or Hitler, he was Christian, with loose support from the Vatican.

The reality is that we will continue to admit immigrants from the Middle East, we will continue to see a rise in Islamic belief and the construction of more Mosques ... so how do we coexist? Or at worst, generate tolerance. For the experiences of Taryn, and the animosity from Scotty is indicative of a wider sentiment ... so the question to each of you is what can be done to change this? How do we achieve a better balance and not continue rhetoric that will result in increased rascism and potentially wide scale riots.

According to the research DNicholson's cited, 'Stralians who want immigration decreased, increased, and to remain the same, all hover under the 40% mark. (With most prefering the status quo.) So you can sit around and shout, as Taryn did, "Aussuies [sic] do not want more Muslims here" until the cows come home (indeed Taryn, perhaps find a field and do just that - we'll call you when the coast is clear) but a referendum wouldn't change anything.

Seriously, when the bogans get on this board it's enough for me to leave my Chardonnay unquaffed and pick nervously at my ethicy friendship bracelet. Frankly, it's only the comforting aspect of my palatial inner city mansion and the intellectual stimulation I get from my part-time job at the ABC that keeps me sane!

"The academic bleeding heart do-gooder brigade would all have to emigrate themselves..." Does my tumbledown old farmhouse in Tuscany count? We summer there.

Yeh righto mate!

ONE poll done before an election by a uni in South Australia, where I might add dont have a lot of the problems of the larger states.

1000 people interviewed by phone in other states does not make up 40% of the public o Australaia.

Universities not being the bastion of unbiased reporting would go a long way to tell us what this poll tells us.

And to say MOST polls is ludicrious. Just like SANTA is is going to drop you some pressies for XMAS.

Most polls over the the 10 years hover at the 70% mark and some phone in polls at 85%.

Try morgan polls for a starters.

The left are liars and will say or do anything to further thier agenda.

Bring on a referendum, so we can shut the multi-culti liars down once and for all and bring our streets and social cohesion back to where they should be pre the multi-culti experimental madness.

Wait until another recession hits and our young people cant find jobs because immigrants will do them cheaper.

Then we will start to see a clear picture of what the Australian public wants.

Fool you if you try to take our jobs away matey.
