cont'd ...

As for your cry of - "They hate us!"

Who exactly?

The only hate I see is from people like yourself -
and that scares the living daylights out of me
because hatreds tend to re-inforce each other,
then there's a complete break-down in communication,
and nothing of any value can be achieved. Surely
you don't want that?

Ok Foxy, so what you're suggesting is that we offer them some sought if holiday village, with the flip side of cause being that we are heading towards not having enough jobs for our own people, so it would be fair to assume that these arrivals won't have jobs either. Perhaps it's a labor thing, as the deterrent worked well until Rudd came along.

Now while there may be some merit in your suggestion of redirecting the funding, what happens once the resort is open and the numbers increase ten fold.

As for Muslims, I would suggest that while some actually like us, the rest are made up of those who tolerate us, and those who outright hate us. Of cause the word 'us' is generalizing, as those who hate us hate anyone who does not support their religion.

And of cause many of the iuninvited are Muslims as well.

You know the more I think about my reply, the more I think to myself, you have to be kidding. Surely you can't be blind to what's happening in any country these people have immigrated to. Not all of cause, but as I say, one terrorist in one too many and I fear we have just woken the sleeping giant right here at home.

What you see as racism, I see as realism.

Suse,

"Is Mise, you only serve to lower your already low standards by calling Foxy childish names"

Where did I call her names, childish or otherwise?

Looks like your perception of English is slipping again.

You are on the back foot and in denial.

Read the post again.

rechtub,

"....The latest foiled terror attacks are living proof that as long as so called Australians are allowed to worship their Muslim religion, the threat that some will change and become a threat to our peace loving nation will forever remain. I repeat, I don't hate Muslims, I hate the religion/faith they choose to follow."

There you go again.

You identify a person by their religion..ie "Muslim" and say you don't hate them but their religion.

I've explained before that "religion" is nothing in itself. It doesn't exist without the human element - without it's adherents and their practices.

That's like someone saying they hate Christianity, but are perfectly all right with Christians.

It doesn't make sense.

"The latest foiled terror attacks ...."

Tones and Co have done an excellent job beating this one up....and the media have sailed along in unison.

I hope you are sufficiently "alert but not alarmed"...because this stunt is designed to make you alarmed and increase the tensions between people in this country.

And all in the service of taking your mind off what a deplorable govt it is that was elected.

It's a tried and true strategy when a govt is considerably on the nose.

(Don't mention the budget....I did once but I think I got away with it:)

Just out of idle curiosity I wonder does it say in the Koran, or anywhere else, when the Prophet's young wife Aeysha first mensurated?
