Dear Paul,

My apologies for the typo.

Here's the link again:

Dear Paul,

I'm having a problem with the link.

If you Google - "Christos why Australia hates
asylum seekers," it will come up.
It's a long essay but well worth a read.
And explains a great deal about some people's
attitudes.

Thanks Foxy, that is a good essay.
Australia has real problems, high youth unemployment, unworkable cities, over crowded hospitals, the list is almost endless.
Whilst we squabble about showing some human compassion towards asylum seekers we are distracted from demanding that we use the wealth that Australia has not just to settle asylum seekers but also to address those other problems. When we put boundaries around compassion we will justify a response that blames 'others' for our problems and so nothing gets done.
Those embittered folk who object to providing asylum should realise that whether we provide asylum or not will make not a jot of difference to their lives. But what it may just do is create a new morality among our politicians to care for the most vulnerable members of our community.

Foxy, here is that link;

The original worked for me.
Also Baygon you also need to use Tinyurl.
These multiline urls are ridiculous.

Foxy, I can see you have your Rose couloureds on again.
First those in detention are not in detention they can leave tomorrow.

The intake of 200,000 a year is absolutly stupid.
The building industry said that we cannot build enough housing at that rate.
Also no one can afford to build it. Not even the government.
It will be like Europe soon, they will be camped in the parks.

There is every likelihood of a financial crash this year and we are
to put another 200,000 into it !
There is every chance of an energy crunch this year or next.
They will finance it by borrowing more money !
I can only believe that the government structure has gone stark raving mad.

"Those embittered folk who object to providing asylum should realise that whether we provide asylum or not will make not a jot of difference to their lives. But what it may just do is create a new morality among our politicians to care for the most vulnerable members of our community."

Baygon,
That above statement - were you referring to 'the most vulnerable members of our community' (homeless, jobless, disabled and elderly etc.) or 'the most vulnerable people of another bombed out or failed states communities' that you think we should all pay for?

- You're entitled to your opinion and you are personally entitled to spend as much as you'd like on them, but you have no right to tell others what their taxes should or should not be spent on if it doesn't directly benefit existing Australians.

To suggest that other Australians be forced to spend their hard earned taxes on foreigners is totalitarianism.
Do you support 'totalitarianism'?

If you have personal ideals there is nothing to stop you opening you wallet right now, just don't entertain the idea that it's any any way 'right' to force anyone else to, myself included.

Put your own money (not other peoples) where your mouth and beliefs are.

As for the causes of these wars and displaced people, I most certainly do not support the tactics used by the west in creating these global problems; and I won't accept the moral responsibility of using my country as a toilet to clean up the messes they make around the planet deliberately for a globalist agenda.

Do not think I'm that ignorant that I won't look for the real causes of these wars.

- The link below will take you to what is, in my opinion the words biggest smoking gun.

"Day 84, still no Braverman."

Dear BAYGON,

Thank You for reading the link.
And for your comments.
It made sense to me and explained quite
a lot. There are contraditions in our country
that need to be confronted. The link points
that out so well.
