IF I was an Aussie

Same old crap

Hamburgular/baba and the like dont you ever ask yourselves the question "what would i do in thier situation?"

"Thier" situations are varied and complex, do you think you would have a grasp on reality, right and wrong if you were brought up in some wartorn sh?thole, or completely opressed, abused all your life. I dont think you would. This does not apply to all immigrants.

The system is totally wrong i agree and what recent happened out of order, they shouldnt be let straight in and thier not. The delays in thier descisions are bull and many immigrants arriving legally or not dont deserve to live here.

What gives you the right to your life anyway, count yourself lucky you were concieved in western society and stop behaving like arrogant pricks.

Would you have the balls to get some rickety peice of sh?t as mentioned before, i think you would if you had absolutly NOTHING to lose.
The world has come a long way in the last few years, not with the attitude of if you dont like it f off, but with understanding, intelegence and compasion.
Hitler comes to mind lacking the former traits.

Is there a prize for most brain dead thought of the thread?..... If there is can I just say......." We grew here, you flew here"

you have covered some things well But i think you missed my main Point......we have people here that need help and arn't getting it .I'm not anti immagration...

its not my fault there country is wartorn or there government is a bunch of sadists .charity begins at home .

there are correct procedures and channels to get here legally if you don't follow them home you go simple ,then the money can be better spent on resourcing and solving problems we already have here

Che? I think you've been smoking too much of that log, man. I never flew here except on the way back from holidays.

No it isnt your fault Hamburgar
We have a moral obligation to help anyone genuine, in need(flame away people)
If someone is drowning do they fill out a form to assess whether they are of good enough character to be saved, no.

What you have to realise with most genuine refugees, no access to legal services, probably cant write/read, little or no education at all, they pay money to some exploiting barstards and probably dont even know where there going. They dont even know what proper channels means.

Our standard of living is amazingly high generally, there are lots that slip through the cracks, even with the oppportunities/support that is here. The "problems" we have in this rich and diverse country pale into insignificance with some others.

I completely agree charity begins at home, you cant attempt to help others from a broken society. Ours aint broke, fractured in places, yes.

All my point is to think about it.
I say all this sitting on my computer, in my nice house, i worked very hard for everything i have, i just think some genuine people deserve a chance at the life we hold very dear, even if they are not from here.

There are no excuses for burning stuff down, why do people do that. Maybe they like sleeping in tents.

Right on Prawn is da man......err, Prawn is da crustacean

Why do so many people think, even for a second, that detainees that set fire to a building won't be punished? You really think this looks good for their status? Really?

"IF I was an Aussie" I'd sit on Gnaraloo Station Shop roof and protest until they allow me to stay for free.

FINALLY someone is thinking of me, happy easter ph

And what pray tell does that have to do with the discussed matter; burning property that does not belong to you?

Spot on

Adding one more for Global Capitalism

Reality... is it ok to expect totally free movement of capital and goods, yet stop people at every border?

eg Keep lending me money, making me shoes but don't ever visit....

Post of the year

(but your accent is coming along P.R)

Once again I agree, but whatever, should be done expediently to send a message that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable in AUS.


And as for your previous post , if it was just piss taking I'll wear it ,sorry about the mungbean comment

Well it appears the ones on the roof were protesting about their residency being refused so I'm not sure how you could fix that other than to say everyone who turns up is wecome to stay here, and I don't think that's a reasonable request.

I think the fact that they resorted to burning down nine buildings would indicate that the correct decision was made in the first place, that is, they are not the people we want here.
