It is probably clear to all I am considering my future here.
Yesterday was a hard day in real life, today will be too.
I am removing a long term mates gear from his home to a hospice.
And have had to confront the truth, he will not be with us long, nor may I be.
But a benefit has kicked in.
I always think I can do better than what I have just done, it gives me an advantage over those who think they are always, totally right, not one of us are.
My behavior here and in other threads of late, has at times been deliberately rude.
A standard thing we all are born with, if angered we flee in fear, or charge up the fight reaction.
In two threads about this subject, we have seen almost a thousand posts,all in the history of this site? who knows.
World wide? ten million would be too little a number.
I could have posted a thousand links without effort.
But what law/rule/says I am totally wrong.
Or that csteele and his/her crew are?
Humanity has in my view never been even on the same Street as perfection.
We get it wrong so very much more than right.
But as every religion has the right to practice its faith.
Will a day ever come , ever that we who see the other side of this issue can be free of being branded bigots?
Can I ask again, do you not love the way no answer is ever given?
Why teach and believe in evolution, but let our streets look like Arabia?
Are my rights worth considering,brand me unthinking bigot but do I then have rights.
Continued

My age has something to do with my thoughts and ideas.
Complicated childhood saw me for 2 years go the Blaxell Street School in South Granville or Gilford if you like.
Aurburn/Guilford/Granville/Chester hill, a host of Aussie working class suburbs.
Do you know on returning in my youth it was owned, yes right word, by Lebanese Christians.
Do not go there now.
I openly offered Gday mate, in the first few contacts, got snarls and pure hate back.
DOUBT that csteele and crew? doubt you friends could ever be that rude? why you do not doubt it from me.
I as many know, building on my understanding of politics and voters.
Am reviewing the faults and crimes of Labor, against me, its self, its supporters and this country.
But am filled with rage at the just plain silly and bigoted views of fare too many, including the next generation of OLO posters, already well involved and up to their chins in wrong charges.
So in ending my explanation I remain me.
Straight talking ,maybe wrong, always able to do better.
But I put my hand up for those Australians who as is their right question why we must mix Gravel in our cake we are cooking and not complain about it.
Both sides of politics and the UN should stop destroying my culture.
Like it or not lady,s that is my right.
Labor? can anyone not see our policy's are the best, but the knife welders are linked to Sussex street, power brokers are killing our chances of election.
The silly bug^&s must stop thinking Liberals unpopularity will see us returned, we face without *change* 20 year in the sin bin.

Let us not panic.
After all it is only some who want to introduce these laws in to our country.
Still we could sell tickets.
Bit more class than herding a crowd at gun point in to a sporting venue.

"Let us not panic."

We weren't... because some of us had the intestinal fortitude to read your earlier link which told us:

""Short of trying to really find or use another word, really I would like to suggest that what the Muslim community at least in Australia has to do is to try and explain that there's no aspect of sharia that is being tried to be introduced here," he [Ikebal Patel, president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils] said.

[and]

...But Federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland has ruled out any chance of sharia law being introduced to Australia.

In a statement released to the ABC, Mr McClelland said: "There is no place for sharia law in Australian society and the Government strongly rejects any proposal for its introduction.

"Australia's brand of multiculturalism promotes integration. If there is any inconsistency between cultural values and the rules of law then Australian law wins out.""

Just as well then. Thanks for letting us know not to panic.

Thank you, Wmtrevor, that's a relief - saves us all from panicking.

Yes, Belly,

Interesting that your first two posts were a little more reasonable. I've had the experience here before, notably with you and Constance, that every now and then you drop the rabid commentary and come across a little more conciliatory. Me, being a sucker for reasonable interaction, has then proceeded to match your tone - only to be smacked around the chops with a follow-up post of the same old same old.

This morning, however, you couldn't resist topping up with your ol' reliable smh headline - "same old same old".

Saved me the trouble of being suckered in.

Poirot, how typical. Don't even read your opponent's comments.
Make a judgment without even knowing what was said.
Why am I not shocked?

A facial analysis of immigration applicants (with 50% margin for variation) is a lot less intrusive than a privacy-invasive questionnaire or outright ban.
And it's based on real statistical computations, not guesses and subjective personal judgments.

If we want “Australians” to exist in the future, we can't just allow any-and-every-all-at-once immigration.

We will cease to exist as a distinct/recognisable people/culture and a functional society, disintegrating into civil/tribal war.

You claim to love all these minorities, but you are *risking their lives*!
There's no “better life” for the dead.

Do you really want Australia to be drenched in blood?
Think “it won't happen here”?

When it becomes obvious to a significant number (nowhere near a majority is necessary) that we are not being augmented, we are being *eradicated*, all hell will break loose.

The facial recognition software preinstalled in our (and the minorities') brains will take over.
No more "debate". No more "tolerance".

Family been here 6 generations? Nobody will ask.
Subjective face scan, 2 seconds, bang.

I want to *prevent* that war and the truly repressive aftermath.
Forget facial scans of potential immigrants.
After that war, it'll be outright bans left, right, and centre, probably complete isolationism.

One of the most peaceful, prosperous, plentiful nations ripped to shreds by demented utopian fairytales.

Bloody streets and bolted doors.
That's *your* legacy, not mine.
