Hi Yuyutsu,

Its called respect, and I find refugees and migrants very respectful people as far as being welcoming, they love to please. I'm not saying Australians are not respectful but they tend to be less concerned than most. In the past my son has taken in boarders, uni students. He has found Asians the easiest to look after, very quite no trouble at all. A South American chap the most difficult for him to contend with, just little things, like; "please flush the toilet after you use it"....: "When you leave in the mornings please check you have turned the lights off", but only as a general rule, others were ok.

Foxy, remove your rose tinted glasses and be realistic.
When pressed Islamists will not deny any verse in the Koran.
There is one verse that tells them it is permissible to lie to infidels.
So they are happy to tell you they do not accept those verses that
tell them to kill non believers where you find them.
There is more than enough of them that will do exactly as Allah tells them.
Why do you think there is such a high rate of rape, assault and murder
jn European countries ? To say nothing of outright terrorist acts !

Paul,

No, I don’t want them, you keep ‘me.

Hi Issy,

I was going to have you as a five bob a week boarder until I heard a few stories from your previous landlady. That habit of farting at the dinner table, and do you really keep week old fish heads uncovered in the fridge. She did say you would always get up in the morning and go out and piss on her geraniums, what a stink! Tell me it wasn't you who kicked her dear old cat Tiddles in the guts, resulting in its untimely end. No you didn't peg your unwashed undies on the neighbours line did you? Claiming you were giving them their monthly airing. Other than those few little indiscretions is there any bad habits you want to fess up to?

Oh yes, and there was the weekly visits from the Issy clan, those ones you mentioned before, the pillages and burners. The old landlady asked is there is any possibility you could recover some of her silverware from your relatives, and did they really have to burn the chook shed down. You said they were just having fun, but the chooks are all frazzled.

Dear Bazz,

You should not believe everything that you read in
the papers. Papers print what's newsworthy and what
sells. And there are fundamentalists in all religions
and extemists who do bad things around the globe.As
there are religious people who do good things. You
should not single out any group with generaliZations
because you don't allow for individual differences.
And that's not wearing rose-coloured glasses - that's
being realistic.

I'll second ttbn- "People have to work out their own problems in their own country." We've given them a lot already- and need to look after our own people now.
