ttbn,

>Anybody smarter than you (just about everyone)
Certainly not on this board!

>would have opened the IPA site and clicked on 'download the research report here'
Except that it wasn't the IPA home page which said that. Of course I did find the page with the "download the research report here" link, but not before the distraction of the banner ad saying "Saving
the Australian Way of Life" which turned out to be an unrelated boast that Tony Abbott had joined them.
Of course most Aussies know that Tony Abbott's values are very different to their own.

>for the 58 page report,
Well at least that shows you've read the report not just the press release. But would I be correct in surmising you got the link through their mailing list rather than finding it on their website?

>which, apparently is well above your reading ability.
The above inference is evidence of your poor comprehension ability.

>I even spelt out that the report showed the decline in 23 of 25 areas named. You couldn't absorb that, either.
What exactly do you mean by "absorb it"? I understood and accepted that that's what the report showed. But when I read the report it confirmed my suspicions that some of their categories were irrelevant to the Australian way of life, and some others were only indirectly related.

>You are 'skeptical' (American spelling)
Yes, and also the spelling used by the Austraian Skeptics.

>...of the IPA because you are a Left-wing bigot.
Incorrect. You only presume me to be a left wing bigot because you are a right wing bigot.

>You know nothing about their 'track record' because you concentrate on leftist,
>mainstream media to tell you what to think, you puppet.
Absurd allegation, easily refuted by my opposition to SSM.

>I doubt that you have ever read a book.
Yet more evidence of your rightwing bigotry!

ttbn (continued)
>You marked yourself as an idiot long ago when you started talking about "sovereign debt" and other
>economic matters that you are totally ignorant of. You embarrass yourself every time you post.

Are you referring to the "Why are interest rates so low" post of 2015? I pointed out a few obvious flaws in the author's argument, and provided a concise but comprehensive explanation for why interest rates were sl low, whereas you had nothing to say beyond "because the economy is stuffed."

Anyway, if you think I'm ignorant on that topic or any other, you're welcome to explain why. I can't recall you ever doing so without resorting to false assumptions. The problem appears to be your unwillingness to consider other positions. Thus whenever you read something that contradicts what you think you know, you assume it to be an example of ignorance on the part of whoever wrote it rather than yourself.

Many other people would be embarrassed if they made the kinds of posts you do, but you seem oblivious to that, let alone the reasons behind it. I'm always wiling to discuss my position and to reconsider it if errors are discovered or new information is found; you consider even responding to me a mistake! Your bigotry is plain for all to see.

Mr 0,

>Asians see Australia as geographically part of Asia. It's all about culture, ethnicity and economy, not geography.
Evidence?

> What did you and others think Australian society would look like at the end of 40 years of protracted Asianization..?
When? At the start of that period the closest I'd been to Australia was India!

> We are now an Asian nation-state and I'm only asking that everyone should acknowledge that fact.
But you've provided no evidence - you seem to be under the delusion that repeatedly asserting something makes it a fact!

In order for it to be acknowledged as a fact, you need:
• Precise definitions
• Evidence that those definitions are correct (or at least widely accepted)
• Evidence that Australia fits them.
0/3 so far!

Aidan,

Here are some videos I found on youtube which show how some of the principal areas in Sydney have been transformed over the past 40 years:

It's pretty typical right across greater Sydney. There are dozens of these on the web for other suburbs in Sydney.

I would describe Sydney as Asianized with fringe dwellers of Bogan Australians. I'll try to find some videos of Bogan suburbs for you - but don't hold your breath because they're like hen's teeth.

Aidan,

I found some youtube videos of Sydney’s Bogan Australian Suburbs:

The Bogans now tend to be the fringe dwellers of Sydney especially the beach areas like Manly and Cronulla above.

As a simple model I would describe Sydney as having an Asian core surrounded by a Bogan periphery. But I think before long the core will expand to displace the periphery making Sydney fully Asianized. And I think Sydney's Bogans will drift out to the regions especially up and down the coastal communities where they will feel more comfortable living amongst other Bogan Australians.

Idiot,

My first ten years were in Bankstown - Chullora and Bass Hill. We used to go to pictures on Saturdays in central Bankstown - from memory, the picture theatres (I think there were three) were the Plaza, the more up-market Jewel and another one, maybe the Star or Criterion. Also Yagoona had a picture theatre.

Your videos: so, dumb-dumb, Vietnamese are Chinese ? That's the sum-total of your knowledge ? Are Thais Chinese too ? Filipinos ? Indonesians and Malays ? Burmese ? Japanese ? Koreans ? Get an atlas, Idiot, and see if you can get an eight-year-old to explain it to you.

So which of those groups do you want us to surrender to ? You really are more pig-ignorant than I ever expected.

Joe

Foul-Mouth,

You must definitely see a big difference in Bankstown.

I assume Bankstown was populated by Bogans when you lived there.

Actually I used to go to Bankstown swimming pool and I'm pretty sure back then just before the Great Asianization Period (1980-2020) that it was a Bogan community.
