Compassion is not necessarily a virtue. It can be stupid, and so called compassion for illegals is stupid. They should be repelled. Who the hell do they think they are!

'morning Foxy,

Wow, another rewrite of feminist history? You forgot the one about Cinderella being a CIA agent! Lol.

I still prefer your role as Anne in the movie "Trollenberg Terror" and you're telepathic powers going "haywire" under the influence of the "slithering eye" (SteeleRedux).

It just seems so "you".

By the way, did you know that Batgirl actually worked for MI5?

And where is Steelie when you need him so badly? Enter Wondergirl. He he.

'A very good and gracious good morning to your royal eminence Emporer Julian,

What the hell is " history based reasoning"? Oh, I forgot, it's "Enlightenment-based, non-theocratic, non-tribal" reasoning?

Did your "rhetoric engine" get stuck in the groove? Or do you want to explain your gobbledegook?

Hello!

OTB, aren't we discussing the current boatloads of refugees off the coasts of other Asian countries in this thread?

Why are you bringing up all the 'buff young males' you obviously found so attractive on the roof of the detention centres? I don't care what the Gillard Govt did or didn't do, as I didn't vote for them. I only care about what is happening now on the open seas.

Spindoc, I am upset that you didn't have me playing the telepathic girl who spots the buff young men in your little scenario above.
Why does Foxy get that part? : )

See you all on another thread....I am bored with this one now.
Suse.

'morning Suse,

Sorry about the casting directors selections but I understand that the decision was based on the basis that "Feminism is the belief that both sexes may become equal by focusing solely on one of them".

Foxy got the part because she "feels" like a man whereas you "feel like man". Neither of you will fulfil your desires but God loves a tryer.

God knows feminists are trying! Lol

I don't believe for a minute that Oz has forgone compassion, not by a long shot. We still take in refugees who arrive through legitimate means, we help them with the necessities of life upon arrival.

After all we can't do all the heavy lifting, we're a country of about 21 or 22 million, we already have a very generous social security scheme ? Where on earth do we find the necessary additional millions of dollars sought, in order to help these refugees further ?

One question that puzzles me profoundly. What is the precise rationale, that causes so many people, from such wide diversities of ethnicities, who choose to promptly pack-up all their possessions and flee from their respective homelands ? What causes such an overwhelming level of pandemonium to simply pull-up stakes and leave one's home, friends and in some instances, family ? Leave (apparently) with no clear direction as to where one is headed, and what's wanted if and when they arrive ?

I accept there's many African Nations embroiled in civil conflict even wars, often related to ethnicity and religion. Anybody would wish to remove their families from such dysfunctional societies ? But is that the only reason I wonder ?
