Dear rehctub,

What planet do I come from?

I would have thought that was rather obvious.
It's a planet whose tapestry I love. Because
it doesn't matter where you come from, being
an Australian for me means wanting to be
"mates" with everyone - harbouring no ill-will
towards others, wanting to live in peace and harmony
(with each other and nature) to be free and
independent, a helping hand when needed, and
treating everyone fairly.

I take people as I find them -
and I don't make judgements about people ahead of
time. Because that does not allow for individual
differences.

As for the Lindt Café incident,
and the Curtis Cheng incident - I was merely stating
what the experts in the various media articles have
stated.

Still, there's always people who will disagree with
what they read - That one of the problems with
objectivity. Different people view things differently.
from all walks of life depending on their values,
past experiences, and so on.

Let me ask you a question. If you saw a Muslim being
attacked in the street would you come to their aid?
Or walk past.?

What planet could you be assigned to - judging by
your actions then? That is if you were to walk past?

Dear rehctub,

You say that the country has gone to the "shytter"
and that the likes of me have encouraged it?

Really - how?

People like me eh?

Do you mean people like Victor Chang?
People like the nurses, doctors, scientists, teachers,
innovators, Business owners, who have all contributed
to enriching
this country and continue to do so. Over the decades
this country has changed greatly that's true. However
it's all a question of your perspective. To me and the
Australians I know - the future looks bright indeed.
As our Prime Minister stated - "there's not a more
exciting time to be in, in Australia, then the present. "

Foxy... Because
it doesn't matter where you come from, being
an Australian for me means wanting to be
"mates" with everyone - harbouring no ill-will
towards others, wanting to live in peace and harmony
(with each other and nature)

Pretty much the exact opposite to many Muslims I would suggest. I say this because if Islam ever has it way and gains a strong hold here, when push comes to shove most Muslims will choose them against us.

So go ahead and support them Foxy, but don't cry wolf if one of your loved ones is caught up in terrorism.

As for assisting a Muslim in trouble, I would assist anyone in need provided they had not provoked the attack, and dressing in full Muslim clad, citing ISIS is one such example so in that case I would walk past, taking a very wide birth at that.

You see people like yourself, and our governments like to take a re-active approach to life, disregarding the overwhelming evidence of Muslims causing havoc wherever they go and, considering even so called moderate Muslims, (a term I don't support) One, cant tell the difference and Two, are powerless to stop those from within becoming radicalized. Of cause rather than heed the warnings, our limp wristed governments encourage the practice by providing secrete hiding places for them and continually allowing them to join our peace loving nation. How dumb is that?

Now we have one talented young man dead and two NZ thugs about to no doubt test our new 'one punch laws', no doubt costing millions of tax payer dollars by way of legal aid. Further evidence of the decline in immigration invitees I would suggest Foxy. Lets just hope that if they do go to gaol for a long stretch, that they do so on New Zealand's crime budget, not ours. The first course of action from our government should be to immediately deport them, but don't hold your breath as gay marriage is of more importance to them. Go figure!

//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.//

Yeah, just like cancer patients and diabetics. They're not real diseases, people just need to toughen up a bit.

You are complete dick, rechtub. Mental illnesses are serious diseases, sometimes terminal.

Fcuk you and the horse you rode in upon you nasty little cnut.

No mate not a horse, a Harley fat Boy for me.

Mental illness is a real issue but its also used broadly as a 'cop out'. As for cancer patients I have nothing but sympathy for them, apart from those who have brought the problem on themselves because non of us can legislate against stupidity can we Toni.

Nice rant by the way, amolst lokos lkie in hvae hit a nverve tehre mtae.

Dear rechtub,

Those who murder and kill people - of whatever
ethnic background should pay the price
according to our laws accordingly. That's not
brain surgery as Suse has pointed out
and most intelligent Australians
recognise this fact.

As for your on -going arguments about migrants
not enriching our society?

The facts are that -
In the second half of the twentieth century
the population of Australia was made up of approx.
ten per cent migrants and 90 per cent locals.

More than 60 per cent of migrant children finished
higher education and contributed to the growth
and enrichment of this nation (1940s - 1970s).
That's not even counting the foreign students
who studied here and many stayed on and
contributed. And still do.

I was the only girl in my street to not only finish
high school but university as well.

Girls were expected
(according to the local customs of the time)
to marry - so education for
girls was considered unimportant. Their husbands would
provide. Business courses, hairdressing, bank tellers,
dental assistants, retail, beauty salons, were the
popular professions considered suitable for the
Australian woman, at that time, until she married.

I remember when I graduated from university - people asking
me - "Don't you want to get married dear?"

So, who contributed most to the growth of this nation?
Take a look around you today - what kind of people
do you see employed and contributing to society
today? whether its as teachers, doctors, nurses,
shop-owners, taxi and bus drivers, et cetera?

If we want more economic growth - we need more, not less
migrants.

I forgot to add that in my classes at university most of the
lecturers were from overseas.
