Dear rehctub,

I am truly amazed at your baseless arguments against
recent migrants.

The following link explains why:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-21/carvalho-why-migrants-may-be-our-greatest-economic-asset/6409042

Our population is aging we need migrants. And guess who's
going to look after you in your old age?

Foxy,

Lyndt Café, terrorist attack by a well known Muslim and consequent murder of an innocent person.

Murder of Curtis Cheng by a previously unknown Muslim who, we were told, had just left the local mosque, before he cowardly murdered a defenceless man and did so with malice aforethought.

//I hope you're sitting down when you read this, but lightsabers aren't real... So it makes sense to be unconcerned about one and somewhat concerned about the other.//

No, lightsabers aren't real. But even an imperfect fake can provide a good facsimile. At the moment toy shops and online toy shops for geeks are bursting at the seams with unreal lightsabers. They light up (like a 'real' lightsaber), they hum and buzz (like a 'real' lightsaber) and if you put your mind to it, you could kill a man with one (like a 'real' lightsaber). These days, about the only thing they can't do is block 'real' blaster/bowcaster bolts, which is alright because there are no 'real' blasters or bowcasters.

Ever seen a 'Klingon' bat'leth? They're not 'real', but you could kill somebody quite easily with a replica bat'leth.

I would say that it does make sense to be more concerned about one and less concerned about the other: terrorist attacks seem to occur in cities, whereas every second kid in my one-horse town has his own lightsaber. Frankly, I think that - unlikely as it is - it is vastly more likely I'll be accidentally stabbed in the eye by some kid waving his lightsaber about willy-nilly, contract MRSA/VRSA and die than it is that I'll be shot or blown up by a terrorist.

But maybe I should only be worried about the likelihood of death from things that are really real, like black holes, gamma ray bursts and massive meteorite impacts.

I'm more worried about sharks, which stand a much better chance of killing me than lightsabers, terrorists, and gamma ray bursts put together. I'm a lot more worried about horses, which are far more likely to kill me than all the deadly sharks, spiders, snakes and jellyfish we have in Australia.

And I'm actually concerned about the things which are likely to kill me: cancer, cardiovascular disease, vehicular accident etc. My chances of being killed by a terrorist are infinitesimally minute... why lose any sleep over it?

Dear Is Mise,

The Lindt Café shooting in Sydney - experts
have stated was as a result of mental illness -
not terrorism.

As for Curtis Cheng? It was a payback to the
police Crime Squad in the area.

Not that there's any excuse for these acts.

Well Foxy, you take the cake, when the chips are down, and you're backed into a corner, you pull out the old mental illness card as it works every time. Not!

Of cause you would have us believe that his mental health issues made him become radicalized. It was the cause of many of the crimes he was charged for or convicted of, it even drove him to place the ISIS flag in the window. Hell, it even gave him a reason not to work and feed off the public tit.

Yep, good old mental health wins over the do-gooders every time. Sorry Foxy, but I am not as sympathetic towards mental health as you my dear, as many so called mental health cases simply need a good old dose of HTF up.

As for cases of terrorism in Australia being linked to religion, as mentioned this case of Man Mannis, the lunatic who the limp wristed legal system (all paid for by the good old Ozzie tax payer of cause) allowed this grub to be free to reoffend as often as he liked, despite best efforts from the police.

Then there is the case of Curtis Chann, as also mentioned whereby the good old tax payer once again provided the secrete hiding place for this young thug to become radicalized.

Of cause there are also the dozens or so of failed terror plots that our police have stopped, all linked to religion.

Two words to you Foxy my dear. WAKE UP!

Foxy, as for previous migrants.

Chinese, Italian and Greek families, who made up the bulk of the earlier migrants, 50's & 60's were very proud, hard working families and their kids usually worked every morning before school and most weekends as their parents were usually such hard workers and often the families would band together to get the job done. Very rarely would the kids of these races sit idol and raw the dole as their parents would have disowned them. Its also the reason so many own such large property portfolios.

Then along came the others, Samoans, Muslims etc, many of whom have never worked a single day since arriving and in fact have generations of non working extended families, One, because they are lazy, and Two, because our limp wristed governments are too stupid to prevent it from happening. In fact they encouraged it with the introduction of the likes of the baby bonus, where not only did they not have to work, but also got paid to populate us with serial bludgers.

You really need to remove your do-gooder hat and get out more Foxy and See what the real world is like my dear.

As for who is going to be paying for my retirement, well, in my case, myself, because I have worked my entire life and even when I have two years off after my dad died, I didn't drain the public kitty.

As for others less fortunate, most certainly not the 1200 free loaders you have laid the welcome mat out for. But don't worry, they will be fine, we will just rob our own people and make them work harder and longer to support these invitees.

This country has gone to the sh1tter Foxy and the likes of you have encouraged it.
