Our Immigration standards?

[happytrader]

What a pity most peple are loaded up with baggage. It really is too bad for those living in some past time or place in their minds because they really are missing the best Australia and the vast majority of its diverse people have to offer. Keep that up and they'll have even more to be p***ed about as those living in the present do all the receiving and prosper. If they wake up in time they might be lucky and get the leftovers.

Cheers

I will pray for you.
Please advise which god.
Alternatively, I am well connected with the Devil.

Geee that was a bit rough !.
Now that we know you & the Great Beast 666 of Revelation are mates, can you call up the Giant demon Beelzebub with 49 attendant demons to fix a few things. :badsmile:

Bob.

rederob,
when i need you to pray for me ,i`ll let you know,and by the way thats why you are familiar seen you praying with the devil.

I am the lucky person who can choose to pray to and for whom I wish.
I must say I am in a quandary though, not being too sure to put in a good word for you when I next speak with the Devil, or a bad word! Pray tell.

I agree that the circle turns fully.
It does seem, however, that many want others to be like us.
I certainly prefer them to be who they are, but also be like everyone else in accepting the laws and liberties we enjoy.
A modicum of tolerance and understanding plus a lot of respect can go a long way.

Bob
No worries.
Do I send you the bill?

rederob,lucky but obviously not tolerant,who needs to revert to type because he is too ignorant uneducated and uniformed to be able to form a coherent argument.

I give in.
You will have to tell me the answer to that one.
My intellect is only in the high single digits.

But I do know you, and by my reply, we, have strayed from the topic.

I have the advantage of being once in the front line of fighting to inform both migrant communities and the communities they dwelt in about societal differences and how to overcome or respect them.
Far from being too lax, I believe our immigration standards require too much from prospective emigrants. I have found, and continue to find, that the most willing and accepting "new Australians" are those that come from more deprived backgrounds. I have the honour each year of placing a number of these people into jobs.

Yes indeed. I support that 100%

The only thing I say is whilst we are being tolerant and understanding, us whitefellas need to stop apologising for ourselves and as Happytrader says, live in the moment.

If we must have multiculturalism, we must preserve our own european/anglo saxon culture as well. (well, apart from english "cuisine" {to apply the tem loosely} ) I agree with HT on making sure they can cook.

This is my point exactly. Multi-culturalism is a two way street after all. Tolerance and understanding are the things lacking in some migrants who are either ignorant to, or unaccepting of australian culture.

In my opinion it shows a great deal of weakness to cave to the every demand of every minority group. In the end life is about the best solution for the greater good, and if someone has to cop the short end of the stick then so be it.

I can certainly see we have a problem.
I guess it depends on one's point of view as to where it lies.

Hullo Rederob,
I think you mean well & your still young, would you care to answer this question please?.
An ex colleague recently spoke that he could not find an atheist in the areas he visited in the middle east.
But he did find out why ! & it made an indelible mark on his mind.

Your question : Why no Atheists ?

Bob.

Bob
You are off topic.
I suspect you misjudge my age although if you are in your 7th decade you will be a wee bit older than me.
In any case you know I cannot answer your question on pain of death.

Gee did I misjudge your age, the way you phase your words ??.

As for the Question - have a stab at it ( many are watching ) don't worry about your pain of death Mate!
in this case.

It looks to me that any non-Aboriginal people in here arguing against immigration, multiculturism etc etc are either confused, hypocritical or both.

The indisputable fact is that the only true Australian is an Aborigine. Everyone else either has ancestors that came out with the First Fleet in 1788 or sometime since then or they came here by their own means some time after 1788.

So those of non-Aboriginal descent arguing against immigration, multiculturism etc why not show some guts, practise what you preach and leave the country and give this land back to the original owners - the aborigine.

I think that those remaining then have to try to get along as best as possible, and that's obviously easier said than done nowadays, and make allowances for other cultures, beliefs atc.

I just wonder how those in here who object to other cultures and ways of life would react if the aborigine's all of a sudden tried to impose on them their cultures, beliefs and ways of life. You can't have it both ways...either practise what you preach or you're just making a total fool out of yourselves..

You are wrong on this one Bullmarket!

Don`t be so simplistic when assessing one`s views on this topic. It`s old and tired.

 

[rederob]

Bob, my answer was a dead give away.
I must have erred.
Sharia law carries no truck with non-believers - the death penalty is it?

No problem....and yet there is no verifiable information in your post that shows anything I said is wrong.

If you want me to take you seriously then please come up with some verifiable info that shows how anything I said is wrong.

If you want to disagree with me that's fine...we're all entitled to our own views, so lets just agree to disagree and move on.

OOOOPPSS...!!! just noticed the time in the corner of my screen.....2:13....cricket's started

see you in the soup.

Ok, here I go.

Wrong - I am not confused.

and I`ll leave it there only to say I am in Japan so wish to challenge my lack of guts...

Why doesn`t the quote quote everything I highlight? Frustrating JOE.

Hi Snake

no problem....but you're now wasting my time....you obviously disagree with my post - that's fine, I don't have a problem with that...so let's agree to disagree and move on.

But I don't accept I am wrong based solely on you just saying so and then not providing any verifiable information to back up your view.

I don't know if you are confused or not, but you sound like you are to me, and I don't know if you really are in Japan or not. You could be posting from Uranus for all I know

But at the end of the day if you don't provide any verifiable info to support your views I can't see how what you think of my posts or where you really are or are not can possibly be of any interest let alone any consequence to me at all.

As I said in my previous post, feel free to disagree with me if you like as you and everyone else is 100% entitled to do if they wish, but if you want me to take anything you say or claim about me being wrong in any way seriously then you'll have to provide verifiable info to prove it....it's as simple as that...otherwise you're just wasting my time.
