I was referring more in immigration to general, sorry about that, I forgot the thread.Originally posted by Alexander
Surely this isnt about language. It's about offering humanitarian asylum to those in desperate need. Why does everyone confuse this with immigration?
Then they don't seem to do to well.....Originally posted by Alexander
There are numerous government departments that do exactly that 'enlightened one'
Did Europeans learn Aboriginal laws, the Aboriginal language when they came to their land some 200+ yrs ago?Originally posted by Enlightened_One
They would need education in our laws, our langauge etc.

honestly i hate this air of arrogance about the people of today. "aw they shouldn't be queue jumpers, wait your turn."
Europeans didn't settle this land with the permission of Aboriginal people.
Indeed i myself did not ask permission from the indigineous community to live here.
i am a hypocrite to some extent! read my post i said "Indeed i myself did not ask permission from the indigineous community to live here." - but i'm not the one dictating who should be allowed in this country and who should not. i'm not acting like i own this country when i don't.Originally posted by Enlightened_One
But I wonder, are you a full blood aboriginal? What's your nationality, because your probably a hyprocrite. Have a look at your own ancestor's deeds before you point the finger at this countries background.
i know what the bloody word means. i said, think "humanitarianism".Originally posted by Enlightened_One
By pragmatism I mean think of thngs from a logical point of view.
that is such crap. Rape is not restricted to this ethnic minority. It's something that men from all races are guilty of.Originally posted by Enlightened_One
Remember the gang rapes in Sydney. Remember how the rapists said they saw Aussie girls as pigs and animals because of the way they acted and dressed.This sort of mentality was stressed to these people as they were raised. I'm not critising Lebanese people as a whole, simply a few

In the "treatment of POW's" thread you talked of how the media tends to focus on only what will rate best.
i agree with you completely but i don't understand why you're not applying that here?
"pack of lebanese youths", "allegedly of middle eastern appearance" is all we hear in the media. why are you not dismissing these claims? i know someone who was raped by someone of this very own country. that wasn't in the news. this girl didn't get an interview with 60 minutes.
you talk of "different beliefs". do you seriously think that in these countries they believe that women are objects to be humiliated. oh ofcourse, that's all you hear in the media. "the taliban, flogging women who show ankle" etc etc. i can assure you that is definitely not indicative of their beliefs. it is just a minority of extremist religious groups who misconstrue the teachings of their religion, and in no way shows the majority's beliefs.
same applies for christianity. i do not believe it says anywhere in the bible, or even implies, that homosexuality is wrong and should be forbidden. yet people misconstrue, misinterpret, misunderstand...but again this is in no way reflective of the entire christian population
Can you understand what i'm getting at?
