Poor, poor, Soren. Quoting an opinion from 2013? As L.P. Hartley said, "the past is a different country, they do things differently there." Opinions are always changing. What a shame you don't have anything more recent which is close to how the Australians of today feel about Asylum Seekers. Let me guess your problem is not with numbers in the immigration debate but where those numbers come from, where the immigrants originate from? You don't like "tinted people" as Karnal likes to call them, or Muslims or Asians or non-Protestant Christians or Southern Europeans or well, basically anybody who isn't in your opinion WASP enough for your tastes. Tsk, tsk, you really are a Racist, aren't you? Now, please, settle back on the couch and tell us how much you hated the coloured people at school... My problem is the numbers AND that most of those large numbers come from inferior cultures, bringing their inferior outlook, practices and customs with them, cultivating, preserving and multiplying them here. That's my problem. I want immigration to be slowed and I want immigrants from culturally compatible countries. Those who are from culturally incompatible countries should assimilate and not spread their inferior cultures and rejoice in them as if they were equal to (or better, in the minds of the most insolent and stupid) the civilisation that took them in. I have absolutely no interest in pretending that some Lao peasant or Afghan goatherd or Lebanese brickie's labourer or Chinese waiter has a culture equal to what he finds here, Europe, North America UNLESS he has assimilated. The great thing about Western civilisation is that it is open to all to assimilate into it - to a large extent because it is a synthesis of the best of all cultures. That's why migration is one way - to the West. There is no great movement of Westerner migrants to backward countries. Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Tsk, tsk, your Racist beliefs are on show again, Soren. I wonder how do you determine if a culture is superior or inferior? Do you have a culture meter? Does it have a green zone and a red zone on it, just to make things easier for you? In reality, when Immigrants migrate to Australia, they undertake to become a part of the Australian Multicultural society. They decide when and how much they will assimilate. If that means they don't want to wear a pair of thongs and a singlet all day, every day, that is up to them, not you, Soren. You have no ability to determine anything. Remember, 85% of Australians are happy with Multiculturalism here. All immigrants are welcome, if they fulfil the requirements of the Immigration Programme. Doesn't matter what religion they believe in, even Christianity is welcome, Soren. Doesn't matter what clothing they like to wear, doesn't matter what food they like to eat. Doesn't matter as long as they agree to respect our laws. All the rest really is just frippery and it appears that frippery is what upsets you. Tough, Soren, tough. Your Danish culture is accepted just as much as the culture of an Afghani Refugee...
