DiamondPete, The members of the Third Reich are goose stepping all this thread. I never infer they are racist, I tell the rednecks outright. We have the forums version of Heinrich Himmler Tony somebody. I particularly got a chuckle from the poster pepper "
I'm a pretty tollerant guy [ Aquarian]" This is followed by a diatribe of intolerance.
Economic refugees come in all form. They fail to mention the 57,000 mostly economic refugees we welcomed in the past 12 months from Aotearoa. People who easily fit into our community. Most of my partners immediate whanau have settled in OZ, all working, all contributing.
I have two very good Muslim friends one from Turkey and one from Pakistan. They both arrived some years back as refugees with little more than a suitcase and hope. Today both my friends and their families have made a decent homes for themselves in OZ, working, schooling all the 'normal' stuff. Yes they both fast for Ramadan, but when their kids were young put up a xmas tree, as my Turkish mate would say "my kids are not going to miss out."
Phillip S you asked me "Paul if you are so concerned what do you do apart from advocate for the refugees in writing, have you opened your house to them (I bet not) do you donate money to them (I bet not)." To answer your questions, even though its none of your business, no I don't have refugees living in my house, yes I do donate to charities for the third world. My main support is through Kiva loans, to people in the third world. I'll ask you besides attacking asylum seekers in writing what are you doing to "stop the boats". May I suggest if Abbott comes to power you could sign up on the SS Mad Monk as a gunner patrolling the Timor Sea ready to blow the nasty boats out of the water.

.....If the Coalition becomes the next government the crisis will mysteriously 'disappear' from the headlines even if the number of arrivals doubles.

Mac, do you mean much in the same way it has recently.
But hang on, labor are still in power!

Diamond Pete, well, what can I say.

If only you showed so much passion for your own people, as you do for these illegals, who knows, many of our homeless and pensioners might just have a better life.

Also, what sought of a man, abandons his family, in a war torn region (your words) in an effort to find a better place, knowing this may take years.

Surely a real man would send his family first, so they are at least safe from the violence, don't you think!

Now as for others changing our ways, wake up my friend and smell the roses.

OUR SANTA , they are trying hard to stop him saying HO HO HO, some of our schools can no longer cerebrate birthdays in class, all because of these outsiders, (looking for a better life as you say) don't like our ways and wish for us to respect their ways.

As I have always said, if you are INVITED HERE you must leave YOUR BAGGAGE behind.

As for the illegals, we need to decide, do we stop them now, or do we wait till they arrive with guns.

As for me being a supporter of our fortress,I am guilty as charged, and proud of it.

After all, why should we offer our support to those who have one common problem.

THEY WON'T STOP BREEDING even though they know they can't afford more kids.

We have a forieng aid budget and, if that doesn't stretch far enough, well that's a shame, but surely, SURELY our own people's needs come first.

SM, I agree. But how can you talk about who is responsible without even mentioning one K Rudd??

Paul1405, calling someone a Nazi is no longer effective, we don't care anymore and we're not intimidated, I'll happily wear that tag if it sets me apart from a traitor like you.
Your extreme xenophilia and constant Anti White hate speech clearly comes from your personal predilection for sex with non White women, the men who screech the loudest in support of open borders are always the ones with a non white wife and half breed kids.
So we're expected to bear every negative consequence of an influx of Third World men, the increase in crime, violence, rape and all the other "victimless" effects outlined in the preceding posts just to support the bias of a few sexually inadequate White men and desperate, used up middle aged White women who have wasted their sexual capital early in life?
Paul, why is it only White countries which are expected to welcome every person who knocks at the door?
Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White countries for everybody? Right?
You claim to be anti Racist, what you are is anti White, Anti Racism is a code word for Anti White.

Paul 1405,
I should point out though that I'm now openly in favour of the excercise of White Power, so I too support the complete abolition of border controls as a way of obliterating your "Tolerant", "Inclusive", "Pluralistic" society. We'll see in coming years where the Muslims, Sikhs, Chinese Nationalists,Hindus and African fundamentalists sit on the left / right scale eh?
White Power is the power of diplomacy, ethnic coalition building and tribal politics, "The Man Who Would Be King", you'll no doubt be horrified to realise that us "Nazis" have more in common with Islamists or other fundamentalists than we do with people like you.
People of culture and tradition are all furiously angry at Liberals, "respectable conservatives" and Leftists and we're already building the networks and strategies to take down your egalitarian system.

Ho,ho,ho, Jay of Melbourne,

If your DNA was genetically tested, you'd probably be surprised to learn that a goodly proportion of your extended lineage is of Slavic and middle-eastern origins. I watched a program several years ago where "typical English people" were tested - and out of about fifty "white people" who swore they were so so British, only one of them possessed predominantly northern European antecedents.

Still, carry on - we all know how a good mix of difference strengthens a population, and how extensive inbreeding weakens the line.
