You can't tsk tsk people when you don't even know what a strawman is buddy!
That would make you a joke even by your own gold standards
Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Again, another attempt to misunderstand what I have said. I have not said I do not understand what a Strawman Argument is. I said it was obvious you do not understand what it is. Now, run along. Didn't Father Christmas leave any gifts for you? Tsk, tsk.
So what ARE you saying, Bwian?
Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Soren, why do you find it so hard to figure out? All I want is for you to pay to everybody, the same respect you appear to expect that your own religion gets automatically. Muslims have as much right to observe their religion's beliefs as do Christians/Buddhists/Jews/Hindus/Taoists/Shinto/etc. They don't deserve the lies and bullshit that you continually peddle and appear to believe in your bigotry.
Quote:Is it OK to limit immigration?
Yep, if the reasons given as to why you want to limit immigration are valid and reasonable and do not rely upon the obvious Xenophobia that yours do. Don't you think it's time you grew up and stopped hiding under your bed clothes at night and actually welcoming your fellow Australians into your world?
Quote:At what point is thee limit - where is it sensible and where does it become racist and fearful?
The limit can be whatever the Government determines it to be, Soren. It only becomes "racist and fearful" when you tell deliberate lies, peddle misinformation and persecute people because of their "race"/religion/ethnicity/sexual practises/etc. You're the Racist, you should be able to work that out, yourself.
Quote:And what is thee value of importing culturally distant people who may never get assimilated?
Ah, ha! You acknowledge that your claims about people being "unassimilatable" are false, Soren? My, how interesting.
People can always assimilate, Soren. There is no evidence that they do not.
Quote:Instead of reflexively tut-tutting and yawning why don't you tell us how much you are prepared to pay to import cultural aliens instead of culturally similar people?
All are welcome, Soren. All are welcome. Even a "cultural alien", like yourself.
Quote:Why must every third world country remain unique but every Western country a mish-mash of the entire world? Why is it OK for Palestinians to be loud about Israeelis entering the West bank but no Western country can be loud about third worlders flooding in? Why must Australians resist American cultural influences but not much worse Third World cultural influences?
Well, American cultural imperialism does not allow other cultures, such as Australian Multiculturalism to exist, side-by-side with it. Other cultures don't care about other cultures, Soren.
Quote: Why don't you explain, rather than yawn and scold and pretend to be morally superior?
Oh, but I have. You, however aren't normally prepared to listen. You attempt to tell us that I am wrong, you attempt to impose your Danish culture on us, the real Australians. Always remember, Soren, you flew/sailed here. I was born here. Under the reasoning of the White Supremacist/Nationalist views that you espouse, my opinion is worth a great deal more than yours.
