Master,
You really are a fool given to wild and incorrect statements.

COME IN, COME MY GOOD REFUGEES, THIS CUNTRY IS OURS AND YOURS, ALL TEMPORARY VISITORS ON THIS PLANET! Antonios 10-7-09 (this thread)
He also stated he was an internationalist.

You can do your own research on the rest

Pied piper,
After posting, I wondered if I should have also asked you the questions. You seem also to advocate an open immigration policy.

So should we allow the groups with alien cultural practices to immigrate or not? Knowing full well that some cultural practices are almost impossible to change.

Are you aware that we do not even keep stats on the number of forced marriages taking place here annually, but using population figures, I estimate about 1000 per annum. No stats kept on FGM either as gov doesn't want to know. Nice way to spent the long holiday for Aussie girls, With pieces of flesh hacked off and legs bound together until scar tissue grows?

We have enough bad cultural practices of our own and do not need to import more.

It is a funny thing this internet Antonios, everything is more secret now but if we were in the street I bet we would stop and have a loud conversation and not care who hears us.

I have no tactics or plan just usually my first response and often not thoroughly thought out. Except if I feel annoyed, then they will get my second response with the bad words removed.

But I do see everyone as real and not often do I think that maybe they are just playing or not being honest.

You keep hunting and I’ll look after the chicks.

Master, I can say that I have known many Muslims, found them to be like anyone else (bit cleaner to tell the truth). Not as annoying as those people that come knocking on doors. You probably don’t strike many of those where you are.

Banjo, ones culture can change swiftly, depends how umm, firm the culture is where you land. But things like in Salt Lake City or something where they have about 40,000 men with multiple wives and marrying their daughters off as children. Stuff like that, as you said, already happens.

Watched a weird one on TV yesterday… to be a man in some tribe they had to feed a loop of cane like plant and swallow it then bring it back up – would stop the evil of women staying in them (Anti and Rusty might have tried it). Don’t think your average Aussie would enjoy knowing young men were forced to do that either.

It’s all tricky, needs thought… but not thrown in the “too hard” basket.

Antonios

Here is the breakdown of birthplace groups interviewed in the Sydney survey:

Question: “It’s not good for people of different races to intermarry”:

Agreed:

Australian = 11.9%
American = 10.9%
Sth and Sth East Asia = 13.9%
North East Asia = 17.4%
Southern Europe = 20.8%
Middle East = 12.1%

Only the Americans are less racist than the Australian born. For this question (which is the one you raised) all other nationalities are more racist than the Australian born.

Who precisely are you referring to when you say “Australians” are racist?

One really does have to wonder about the intellectual capacity of some contributors, poor old Banjo in this case.

Let's examine the first part of his post at the top of this page:

Banjo said, "You really are fool given to wild and incorrect statements". That was in reply to my challenge to him to show where Antonios had issued an open invitation to anyone who want's to come here without regard to their character or cultural practice (a charge levied against Antonios by the sanctimonious Banjo).

Then Banjo produced his "proof", which was an Antonios quote which said, "Come in, come my good refugees, this country is ours and yours, all temporary visitors on this planet." Banjo then said Antonios was an "internationalist".

Now - - - -

According to the clearly, incredibly stupid Banjo, these words by Antonios mean that Antonios wants refugees here "WITHOUT REGARD TO THEIR CHARACTER OR CULTURAL PRACTICE".

Umm Banjo ol' cobber, I think you DESPERATELY need remedial lessons in English comprehension. I guess our education system just fails some people!

Also dear Banjo, I'm still waiting for your list of current cultures who are interested in migrating to Australia, who embrace pedophilia and incest as a cultural "NORMAL PRACTICE" (your words).

So now banjo you have 2 tasks to accomplish:

(1)Apologise to Antonios for your false charge

(2)Answer my query regarding your refugee pedophilia and incest accusations.

Pied piper,
You are difficult to get a direct answer from. I sympathies with your hubby on this, but am sure you have many other chacteristics that are not frustrating and very admirable.

Can I assume that you are in agreement that some groups, that have proven alien, or unlawful, cultural practices should not be allowed to immigrate here. I am talking only about the practices that are against our laws and have shown not to change.

You mentioned poligomy and I did not because I am not sure about it. Poligomy seems more honest than a married person having an affair, but I think the first wife is the big loser. Then I suppose we should reject him on the grounds of stupidity. (male joke) I imagine how much it would cost me if they both went clothes shopping together. Talking of which,I saw an article about a woman may get 40 strokes because she was wearing trousers, in some Nth African country, I think.

“You are difficult to get a direct answer from. I sympathies with your hubby on this, but am sure you have many other chacteristics that are not frustrating and very admirable.”

You are never to meet my husband Banjo, he believes he is the only that thinks this! I suspect my admirable qualities he is not frustrated by may well be of the more physical.

“Can I assume that you are in agreement that some groups, that have proven alien, or unlawful, cultural practices should not be allowed to immigrate here. I am talking only about the practices that are against our laws and have shown not to change.”

Yes, if they wont change/aka criminal kick them out.

“You mentioned polygamy and I did not because I am not sure about it. Polygamy seems more honest than a married person having an affair, but I think the first wife is the big loser. Then I suppose we should reject him on the grounds of stupidity. (male joke) I imagine how much it would cost me if they both went clothes shopping together. Talking of which,I saw an article about a woman may get 40 strokes because she was wearing trousers, in some Nth African country, I think.”

I so could not remember that word. Polygamy. I think my point with that one was how they also hand their daughters over very young which is against the culture of the country they are probably the 30th generation of.

40 strokes you say? North Africa is going light… I imagine the middle east would take a harsher view. I am guessing she knew the law of the land.

I’m going to go cook dinner now and I am wearing jeans, thank goodness for Oz. It is legal here aye…?
