Lexi,
Thank you for this moral boost, there's hope yet that the Oms haven't lost it entirely. Will be interesting to see the reaction of their Muslim population, the Labor backbone there also. They'll more than likely ask to get military training.

That link to Cameron's National service scheme is from 2010' prior to the election in Britain.

Don't know if it came to fruition.

Any move towards a National Service Scheme would be a good one. The Israeli model is a good one. Basically it says if you want anything of your country you have to earn it. Military, collective (Kibbutz) even baby farms producing perfect physical specimens. Oops that's a bit closer to the Nazi bit I suppose but it is true.
You want a passport do your National Service. Simple.
I wonder how the good Moslem citizens would feel about serving in an army that could be taking on their own kind. I'm sure we could find some sort of exemption. I remember it was called 'conscious objection'
Perhaps that could be the criteria for settlement here. Two or three years in National Service.

If, by 'National Service', you mean teaching all young people how to use guns, then we don't want that here in Australia.

The numbers of people using guns wrongfully in this country is bad enough already...I would hate to see us getting any more like violent American communities than we already are.

teaching all young people how to use guns
Suseonline,
I don't know how learning to defend oneself is bad. Learning how to use a gun is akin to learning how to drive or fly. Once you have control there's no danger. Anyhow, you're confusing national service with military service.
, a totally different thing altogether. Learning discipline & respect & common sense is so overdue in our society it may actually already be too late judging by the mentality of your comments.
