JoM,
You have nailed it precisely.

Trust you and others will contact Minister Morrison expressing your views on MC. I really think that the policy can be discarded with this government,

sonofgloin "we are all the same"

Try transplanting the heart of a Negroid into a Mongoloid.

"just the customs and language were changed to confuse the innocent."

But they are the basis of our entire existence!
An existence we must *share* with hundreds/thousands/millions of other people.
Being a "species"? That's almost irrelevant.

If you cannot speak with others or understand what they do, what kind of "community" can you have?
Community = common, not different.

There are over 6000 different cultures in the world.
We can share commonalities with some (those related or with mutual influences), but not *all* of them.

Jay Of Melbourne "support for multiculturalism increases the further away people are from it's effects."

All the green/cosmopolitan hipsters live nowhere near the recent arrivals.
They live in the cool spots that are almost completely Anglo.

There's plenty of ethnic restaurants though, so there *seems* to be a lot more diversity than there really is.

In reality, there's just a small number of "wogs", many now into their third or fourth native generation.
And some Asian students (temporary).

Dear jodeline,

You wrote;

“On the subject of 'a number of young Australians converting to the Muslim faith'. These young people have sought out a happier way to live their lives, 'peaceful happy and loving' is very appealing.”

I think there is a a real shift by our youth away from the typical 'booze up and chase a root' mentality that has been such a pervasive part of the 'Aussie' culture, one that many on here seem to be defending to the hilt.

“A rising number of Australian teenagers are choosing not to drink alcohol, new research shows. The findings of a survey of more than 2,500 young people published today in the medical journal Addiction shows half of Australian teens do not drink. Between 2001 and 2010 the number of teens aged 14 to 17 abstaining from alcohol rose from 33 per cent to more than 50 per cent, the research shows.

That there will be some who find refuge and meaning in spiritual leanings is I think a given and I can see the attraction of Islam for a certain percentage of those also as a given. I have stated many times on this forum that in my view this generation of younger people seem to have some really mature outlooks and their acceptance of difference puts many here to shame.

It is always the rednecks and racists among us who think multiculturalism means accepting criminal activities from amongst refugees, asylum seekers, and other new Australians they see as 'undesirable' to the 'white majority' (aka middle to old age white, predominantly Christian males).

I am with SteeleRedux in believing that the majority of our younger generation act far more maturely and accepting of diversity than many of the 'stuck in a '50's time warp' old boys!

Sorry Banjo, but I haven't heard from anyone in authority of an apparent push for FGM, polygamy or Sharia law being allowed in Australia at any time?
You just have to come to terms with the fact we are living in a far different world now and you either accept that, or continue to be frightened and bitter for no good reason.

Suse my dear we've had this discussion so many times yet it never seems to sink in that the "rednecks" and "Racists" are the ones who live side by side with the "wogs" and "reffos" and for the most part we get along alright. What we object to is the traitors and self hating Whites within our ethnic group building up minorities with praise they don't deserve and creating ethnic tension where none need exist by using the influence and financial clout of the upper and middle classes to create favoured groups, in groups and out groups if you will.
Your side are the ones still playing the old British colonial games, playing on tribal politics to further your own agendas, "The Man Who Would Be King", get my drift?
Anti Racism causes Racism, that's what it's intended to do, it sets up what's called a "progressive stack" with White males at the bottom and all the other groups sitting at varying levels, when you set out to disenfranchise people based on certain properties of their person a bitter conflict is inevitable.

By many measures Australia is the most stable, united and
self-satisfied society on earth,
Foxy,
Yes & I for one want to keep it that way. Why so many want to jeopardise this just because of some fashionable compassion beats me. I guarantee you that the moment things go bad & go bad they will, this compassion will go out the window faster than a thought.
Yes, people need help but when that help is to the detriment of the host than I'm afraid all bets are off.
I came from Europe at a time when we had exactly the same scenario as Australia is having now. PC & unfiltered immigration are a guaranteed recipé for civil unrest. The loser is the host country.
