Cossomby,

Talking of belittling people and the like --one lucky dip --it only took one --- into your history and look what I found:

<< Jay, perhaps I was being too ironic for you...I'm not following this nonsense any more, I'm a feminist so I have to go out and bash a few men today (I had better spell it out - that's irony again).>>

And there was even this ( which goes some way towards validating my reading of your US comment!

<<When I saw George Bush standing on the aircraft carrier saying we won (or whatever) I saw the same old big power male politics going back to the Romans.>>

well, well, well --I rest my case.

Dear Cossomby,

Having a sense of humour helps.
As does persistence and determination.
As well as the sane posters that are
still with us.
Take pride in your intelligence and
continue posting please. It is a
perfect antidote to the usual dogfights
that a public forum such as this attracts.

Dear SPQR,

If you don't like our opinion of you,
you can always improve.

Lexi,

<<Dear SPQR...If you don't like our opinion of you,you can always improve>>

I will live with your unfavorable opinion.If you ever developed an favorable opinion towards me, then I would really start to worry.

Lexi on Cossomby: Take pride in your intelligence

Yes Cossomby an IQ of 80 is good,for you.

Lexi: If you don't like our opinion of you, you can always improve.

Your opinion of people is not a problem. Your defence of Potential Terrorists is, though.

I do find it strange that, as your family came from a suppressed Communist country, that you would show support for a group of people that are striving to & will suppress the very freedoms you now hold dear when they implement Sharia Law. Your friends will forced you to go back to being that shy little girl, or get buried & stoned.

Dear SPQR,

Glad that you took me seriously.

Imagine what would have happened if you
would have thought that I was being facetious.

Dear jayb,

Are you for real?

Perhaps the following link may help clarify
things for you:

http://www.independentaustralia.net/2012/politics/australias-problem-with-racism/

Interesting link Lexi. I find though that Denise Allan dredges up what happened 200 years ago. What happened then was quite normal behaviour. That behaviour, although modified somewhat for the better, continued up until the 1950's. Racism has been in the decline ever since then. There is some way to go in places admittedly. The term Racism is somewhat over used though. The term being invoked even when it's not warranted as a means for some do gooder to gain points where there were none to gain. As is the case here.

It's not these people's Race that I deplore. It's their Religion & what these people want to do with it in our Country. If the person is Syrian Christian, a Marionite from Lebanon or a Coptic Christian from Ethiopia who is being persecuted & needs a home. I don't have a problem. Provided they come through the appropriate channels. But a Muslim who sole purpose in life is to kill the Infidel then I have a problem with their religion. Not their race.

Here is a link for you.

For those that have thought little of Ed Husic's (and there are many) swearing into parliament on the Qur'an, these are just three pages from this link (pages 13,14,&15)

This is our country and our future, do at least consider what is taking place here and remember Muslims are forbidden to lie and except the infidel.
