The U.S police have tracked down a women who set fire to a police car, I hope she has to pay for it , rather than the taxpayer.

Probably get a long jail term.

Protesters in Australia are being whipped into a bit of a frenzy after the court ruling. Here's hoping they are not lead to rioting by a small number of those that want to turn the protests violent for their own causes.

Similarly there are a lot of black attack white videos coming from Europe posters hitting the various social media sites in an attempt to cause further division. Be aware that the extremes either side are stoking the flames.

The rise of globalisation, in tandem with government policy to just sit back and rely on selling our iron ore and coal abroad, has in effect decimated Australia's industrial capacity.

This is something I noticed almost immediately after emigrating here more than a decade ago. Future generations are going to pay dearly when the resources run out or if China no longer buys them.

The other thing that disappointed me is that far too many young Australians choose to pursue a trade or become relatively unskilled labourers, shop assistants etc instead of more academic careers. We have the most expensive tradies in the world, which has contributed to high property prices and the virtual elimination of the manufacturing industry. I would like to see more young Australians take up a career in business, especially management.

We should be bringing in skilled and unskilled labourers and tradesmen on work visas to work in industry under Australian management. The lower wage rates would make Australian manufacturing industries more competitive. The Trades Union would be up in arms about this, but they are far too powerful and need their wings clipped anyway.

Wow, you have to be carefull where you voice that opinion.

Not racial but kind of a follow on from the discussion, this was an interesting article, shows how bad shooting problems are in the U.S.
This article sounds as though it is a long weekend in Chicago
https://au.news.yahoo.com/teen-killed-stray-bullet-showing-mum-tik-tok-dance-062511377.html
From the article:
A teenage girl has been shot and killed by a stray bullet while showing her mother some new dance moves from TikTok.

Amaria Jones, 13, was standing with her mum in the living room of their Chicago home on June 20 when the bullet pierced the window, passed through the TV and hit her in the neck, according to the local CBS station.
The 13-year-old is the one of five children killed in a spree of shootings over the Father’s Day weekend in the US.
A total of 102 people were shot in Chicago, killing 13 people.
The Chicago community is also mourning the death of Mekhi James, 3, who was shot and killed while riding in his stepdad’s car.

It is a lot different to life in Australia.

Australian tradesmen are arguably up there with the best in world when it comes to quality and workmanship.

If you can't afford them, then try do it yourself. An influx of poorly skilled tradesmen from other parts of the world might just cost you more.

You appear to have missed the point completely.

Nobody has said that our tradies don't do a good job. The point is that we don't have enough young people pursuing academic careers, especially in business management or IT. If we had more young entrepreneurs we would have more businesses and could employ more people. This would prepare the country for the day when our resources run out. At present, the nation is heavily dependent on exporting raw materials. We should be adding value to the resources we mine, not simply exporting them.

There is a lot of hate out there at the moment.
It's hard not to get infected by it, to different degrees.
I have watched a lot of the action that has played out over the last few months.
There is good and bad on both sides.
We should all try to get rid of racism in the world. Unfortunately that will be difficult.
I think the west had come a long way in doing so even though there was more work to be done.
The current situation is just moving back the progress we had made.
There is now more hate and racism than there was 6 months ago, on both sides (multiple sides now).
If I was looking at this logically and statistically I would come to the conclusion that Blue lives matter.
Police are not paid enough for the sh#t they have to put up with.
Who on earth would want their children to choose policing as a career.
Respect for one another all goes back to the common factor.
No guidance and love at home then no respect outside the home.
Of course all lives matter. That should be the bottom line.

And that is absolutely main point and the truth Dutchie. The postmodernists, identitarians and grievance industry is actually ramping up racism markedly. Whereupon, as you point out, our society was gradually, but surely removing racism, those clowns have made sure that we have gone backwards 50 years.

It's almost as if there is in agenda in creating that.... Divide and rule, anyone?

Yep, I'm seeing it at it's worst for years. It has been creeping back for a while.

@basilio, I would be interested in you comments on this man's points.

 

[wayneL]

I love her. She is the epitome of logic a reconciliatiatory(sic) attitude.

 

[Kerway]

I don't believe that an agenda exists.

I do believe that, due to cultural differences, blacks are falling behind other races in terms of their economic wellbeing. They are being told by many people, black and white, that this is due to racism, and are understandably angry. Racism does still exist but it is on the decline. Excessive force used by policemen against black citizens is an excuse by militants to stir up unrest amongst the black communities.

i also believe that cultural differences are also the reason why people of Asian descent are prospering at a faster rate than whites. Asian children seem to be far more ambitious than our children.

I half agree, but strongly disagree but there isn't some sort of an agenda not necessarily from rank and file black people.

I also think that as a result, racism is rising from both sides... Unfortunately. Your own words illustrate how this is happening.

 

[Kerway]

What kind of an agenda do you have in mind?

 

[wayneL]

BLM the organisation for instance is a Marxist organisation.

Have a listen to the Zuby vid I posted elsewhere.

The soft racism of low expectations

A very smart black woman on the racist Democratic party.
