Dear O Sung Wu,

«You're not standing to show your respect for the presiding member of the judiciary, rather it's what he or she represents»

But how is this possible?

How can anyone possibly show their respect for someone/something which they do not respect?

It's a bit like asking someone to show you the money when they have none - all they could show you is their empty pockets...

Yuyutsu,
If you have no respect for our country or society you should find another country in which to live. We are very tolerant to put up with you. You are the complete hypocrite.

Foxy,
What's wrong? I am in agreement with your first post on this thread.

If one can't accept our laws and rules of our society they should not be allowed here. In a nutshell, that is why I believe we should stop importing those groups that have shown they cannot or will not accept our laws and values. For example, we respect females as equals and do not allow FGM and underage marriage. To stand when a judge enters the court simply shows respect for our laws. Its about time we told those to 'go elsewhere' if they dislike how we do things.

It is our country and we should be more decisive about who can come here and who cannot.

Hi there YUYUTSU...

Are you actually saying you have no respect for the laws of our Country? I find that to be an extraordinary statement to make? Australia is by far, the very best Nation on earth in which to reside without a shadow of a doubt! I must admit, you really do surprise me YUYUTSU?

Dear O Sung Wu,

Australia is indeed by far the best place to reside, but what I wrote is not specifically about Australia. As I live here, I write my views in an Australian forum, but had I lived elsewhere (where I was still allowed the freedom of expression), then I would have written the same in the equivalent forum there.

Banjo wants me to go find another country, but there is currently no such country on this planet whose laws are worthy of respect. At the moment, every single country operates along the same lines of coercion, enforcing its laws over innocent, peaceful people who were never even asked whether or not they wish to be part of all that. This includes people whose only "crime" was to be born there. Under such circumstances, how can any decent person respect such laws?

Dear Yuyutsu,

What you are talking is utter nonsense.

When two cars come to a crossroads they
can't both go through at the same time.
We have to have laws of behaviour so that
we can all be safe. And those laws apply to
you as well whether you recognise their
legitimacy of not. If everyone behaved
according to how they liked - there would
no be any cohesion but chaos.

Judges don't make many Laws , the MPs do and this Forum is banging away at them with contempt. If bowing was the proof of being lawful then we would refer to the "Honourable member" and bow in the street to them or at least in Parliament's gallery
