Continuation from previous post.

As for the "Community Language Schools" as they are called now at least in Sydney, they are about learning languages both for children to learn their background language and they are also used by students who want to learn a language that is not offered at their school. A lot of students who study a (non-English) language for the HSC has done the study at a Community Language School.

<<True Australian-ness does not SEE ethnicity, it just sees Australians.>> That's the way it should be, but often isn't. People see Chinese, Africans, Arabs or Pacific Islanders etc when they look at people who are not British or Northern Europeans. That's why ignorant people like to play the "Spot the Aussie" games on public transport or shopping centres and think only those look Anglo-Saxon-Celtic are real Aussies, even if the Chinese person they are looking at has an Australian background going back to gold-rush days and Anglo-Saxon-Celtic person next to them has only been here for a week

'Australian values'was a subject never debated,never doubted,never needing explanation until the ugly Multiculture experiment arose.
First there was the CRINGE where by everything Australian was critisized and degraded, that was the softener to bring about the loss of nationhood that we had.
Then we had,by virtue of the ALP, the political correctness that strangled free speech and halted free expression.
Now we are paying ,and will pay, for the terrible effects of importing tribal people for whom Australian values hold no meaning whatever.
Why?

Mikijo's "tribal people" is the key to any discussion on immigration. Multiculturalist-driven ideology has ensured that Australia will become a land of tribes, none connecting with others.

All immigration should have been stopped long ago. We are already double our sustainable population. We did need immigrants in the past, but not the sort we have ended up with.

We are governed by idiots who see no further than the next election.

Dear Raggedty heartwarming to hear that you are closely related to me.. in fact my sister :)
If you read most of my posts you must shudder at times, my goodness, I come out with some rather controversial stuff, such as my post on the Never Again thread. But don't worry, I still have very enjoyable quiet times :) My goal is as much to stir people to think as anything else.

Just on your thought about bringing Muslims here as an opportunity to evangelise them. To a degree true. But God has ways that better fit into the category "My ways are not your ways" etc.. I recall chatting with a Saudi Doctor who had left Islam (he was still in Saudi Arabia) partly as a result of a dream in which he encountered the risen Lord Jesus, who pointed him away from Islam. I gave him some useful links to Bible Gateway etc and offered my email, but didn't hear further.

Muslims are unfortunately content to regard Jesus as 'a prophet' and unless this is challenged its difficult to progress further. To challenge that, leads to 'what source' do they have for this idea, and that leads to 'Mohammed' which leads to "Is he from God or not" which, depending on who we are speaking with, leads to a knife in the belly, a punch on the nose, a 'you have your religion me mine' attitude or 'why do you say such lies' or a rationalization of some inhuman conduct on his part by them. Pauls view is Galatians 1:9

I'm concerned to evangelise Muslims too, but please don't judge that part of me by my 'social concern' posts here, because I operate on that level as well as the purely evangelistic.
I do see grave social dangers in having large numbers of Muslims here (as opposed to small numbers) and my time at the committal hearing of the 13 suspects in Melbourne was an eyeopener of dramatic proportions.

Hang in and keep contributing :) Heb 10:22-25

One of the more excruciating and nauseous arguments always involves the Hypothetical Indigenous people, as if they calved out Australia from stone.

Give up the romanticism of Primitivism, equal to and meaning to counter the ridicules argument; as if it be for some reason, Australia Today was not as it is, and were still running around banging each other over the head in some primitive tribal war, how many immigrants do you propose would select to live here?
That is the basic crux of the typical lobotomized mantra and anti Anglo message espoused. Who would?
Absolutely No one.
And can I see a whole lot of Idiots Immigrating to Africa; NO, I wonder why?
And there would be some Rubber room worthy Useless Idiot handing out money to see who could destroy civilization first. I could write a bloody book on it.
So stop Insulting Aboriginals of this century, and start thinking about cleaning up the ridicules mess and fractures the Leftist- Proletariat / Fascists Morons have created.
If you don’t like it then Peeee Off to Nth Korea.
If I could get my way, that’s where three quarters of our Politicians and Bureaucrats would be exiled to, stamped never to return. Closely followed by a numerous amount of their apparatchiks and Lobotomized morons.

And there, I just solved Australia’s Economic problems; just by removed the parasites from the Host.

I wish, and it does feel good being a dreamer.

All,Really! LOL, you gotta wonder what's wrong with u blokes, its

really sad how you think of the world around you.

OLO is obviously a haven for lonely no friends nigels.
