STEELEREDUX...

I only wish you were right when you opined - perhaps I was so preoccupied with my efforts of lampooning your argument, I hadn't concentrated my mind sufficiently, on exactly what it was that I was saying concerning the applicability of 'the doctrine' ?

I believe I understand precisely what occurred, it's happened under other circumstances, but thankfully not on OLO or the Forum. Your gentle reminder of my occasionally acerbic tongue does me no credit either. You've 'let me off' with little or no censure, recognising there's more to my technical 'stumble' than first might appear ? I certainly appreciate it, but undeserving of your forbearance in this instance ? A break from, the Forum and OLO might be in order too ?

Dear o sung wu,

A break should be the last thing on your mind. I coached a team of young men in basketball grand final the other night. They were naturally disappointed to lose the game but were undermanned and didn't bring their best. That sometimes happens on the night but there is always the next game just as there is always another thread on this forum.

Keep swinging mate.

Thank you for your good advice there STEELEREDUX, I'll keep swinging as you suggest ? The only trouble, my thinking seems to be more clouded and totally disconnected with my 'swing' as it were. The Neuropsychology Unit, at the Repat. diagnosed, early 'features' of; 'General Medical Dementia' (whatever that means). Evidently, the early detection of PTSD by the 'Vietnam Veterans Counselling Service' some 7 or 8 years ago, plays no significant part in that diagnosis ? Lucky me it seems, I've got two for the price of one ! Anyway, I think I'll let it go at that. Thanks for your enquiry STEELEREDUX.

Dear SteeleRedux and O Sung Wu,

I take my hat off to you both.

You are both gentlemen.

And you add a great deal to this discussion forum!

Personal Income of Migrants, Australia, Experimental, 2009-10

So based on the ABS figures migrant entrepreneurship accounted for about $1.8 billion dollars in the 09-10 financial year, slightly less than $2.50 per migrant. Overall the financial "contribution" made by migrants from skiled and family streams is fairly insignificant, as similar studies overseas have found when the cost of integrating migrants is taken into account and weighed against the income they generate the "benefit" is a few million dollars per year.
Humanitarian migrants are overwhelmingly a burden to society, many even receive financial support from family members abroad to supplement their welfare payments. The only refugees who seem to be doing OK are Africans, most of whom we understand are Christians in the first place and were middle class, educated and high status in their own countries before being run out by Muslims and other low IQ bandits and fanatics.
So, if it's not the "beautiful food" they bring which makes Muslims attractive migrants and we know that they will make no financial or cultural contribution over their lifetime and we know that their children will fare even worse and experience even greater "culture shock then what real justification can the bourgeois activists present beyond religious arguments like "the world is watching" and "compassion"?

Thank you FOXY for your most kind remarks - Sometimes I think my 'problems' are one of measurement ? Seemingly, I'm unable to determine the precise size of my mouth that needs to accommodate the massive foot that needs to be placed securely therein.
