Dear Antonios,

We should not be de-railing this thread as
Banjo pointed out. So, I will reply to you
just this once.

Life is difficult and always has been for
most people. Nothing is for free. Everyone
has to work for better opportunities.
Life is what you make of it. Those that work
harder make better opportunities. Those who
are lazy miss out. It would not be fair to
take from those that work hard and give to
those that refuse to help themselves.

There are Laws, regulations, and standards,
set by democratic governments that set the
parameters to give everybody the same
opportunities if they strive to achieve them.

You want a good job - you go and get a good
education or the necessary skills to qualify
for that job. You can't expect someone who
doesn't want to help themselves - to become
an engineer, a doctor, or a lawyer - without
having put the effort in.

Migrants have the same rights as the citizens
of this country. And if they're not happy in a
job - they should search for another. If they're
not qualified for other work - they should seek
to educate themselves with new skills.

Complaining about equal rights - will never achieve
satisfactory results. But taking concrete action
to better your situation - may be a step in the
right direction.

For example, you are at home and you have no food.
Your neighbours have food. You are hungry. Are you
going to complain that you don't have 'equal' benefits.
Or are you going to get up - go to the shop and buy
yourself food. Or do you expect the nwighbours to give
you food. So it is in life - the opportunities are
there and its up to you - to take them - and not wait
for others to give them to you.

I've explained to you in very simple terms - what
anybody should do.

I hope that this is enough advice - and we shall not
hear further complaints from you about 'opportunities.'

Foxy,
WHO TELL YOU WORKING HARDER YOU HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES?
WHO TELL YOU WITH HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY YOU HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES?
WHO TELL YOU THAT HAVING MORE QUALIFICATIONS, MORE EXPERIENCES OR HIGHER IQ YOU HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES?
IT IS SEEMED THAT YOU LIVE IN OTHER WORLD!

The Americans are so racist that the majority of whites elect an African President. Could you imagine a white man being elected to an African country or Iran for that matter. Most people coming out here with a victim mentality need to open their eyes to the real world and stop repeating doctrines of the corrupt UN who blame every world issue on white males. Immigrants could do themselves a favour by integrating and learning the language.

Good grief runner Obama is an American. What has skin colour got to do with his sutiability for the Presidency? His mother was American of English descent and his father was born in Kenya.

One minute you say "Immigrants could do themselves a favour by integrating and learning the language" after you have chastised the US for electing a black President.

What is the point of integrating and learning the language,and in the case of Obama actually being born in the US, if racists won't LET you integrate.

You missed the point. America has often been labeled one of the most racist countries in the world. By electing a US African president we see that this mantra of the majority of Americans being racist is nonsense. Obama is to be congratulated that he did not sit around crying about the lack of opportunities like many whinging Australian immigrants. A few OLO could take a follow Obama's example.

The following comments are unsubstantiated racist comment in themselves and fly in the face of your 'Ku Klux Klan' spin.
Making assumptions such as:

"The attackers (who, ironically, are probably Greek, Turkish or Lebanese) would bash any sufficiently brown and vulnerable traveller",Is Unsubstantiated Rubbish.

"Actually, Col, Leigh usually "uncovers" the redundant voice of the Ku Klux Klan".

You are making a ant-racist comment followed by Racist Grandstanding labeling several groups from various countries as the Instigators and people 'probably' behind the attacks.
