Would the olds also persecute them like they want to with others fleeing for their lives.

I am so sickened by what is happening in the middle east and by what I see the UN doing... as usual bugger all...

its civil war. ... its like watching a storm brewing and then waiting until its full force hits you before you make a move.. its bizarre and pathetic..we have watched Israel and Palestine for years and years...but at least someone usual AMerica has stepped in and tried their best....but with Syria all I have seen is a lot of praying..... and it doesnt work.. now of course its getting really nasty really bad...how do you stop a tidalwave?...

I dont think we can now.

The question is, should we punish Syrians that get here by boat, desiring protection from persecution.

Yes or No?

if you look back through history most modern countries have had their own civil wars or fought in them...

sometimes that's just what has to happen for them to move forward...

what about all the tyrants in South Africa starving their own people to death and pocketing all of the foreign aid?

the only countries the US take action in are the ones with OIL...

Tell you what Greens win, why don't we throw open the borders and import all the refugees in the world, maybe about a billion, would that be enough for you?

Then we can pack our  bags and go to New Zealand on the street cred of our Anzus Alliance.

Then the Muslim flag can fly over Mustralia forever.

Real Syrian refugees do not have the means to come here by boat, only fake refugees backed up with wads of cash sourced from who knows where are able to fly and sail through twenty safe havens before reaching our shores.

I would give them all a temporary protection visa and allow them to return when their stronger people over throw the government. They would have to be in custody until I could figure out who they are and they would take some places of others but I would up the numbers for such incidence.

Yet we take people in based on hypotheticals. They claim oppression without any concrete proof. For instance, we had two Sri Lankan poofs claiming refugee status based on the fact they would face persecution by people in their village. What people? What are their names? What type of persecution? What efforts were made to avoid those who would persecute? Was the whole village engaged in persecution? ET phuking C. A claim for refugee status based on hypothetical assertions. No actual phuking proof. Unlikely hypothetical situations.

now that was an invasion to behold.


looking at that list it doesnt look like they have done much good for themselves after all said and done does it???

looks like most if they are not in a civil war they are at war with eac h other... I personally have no recall of any of those invasions as B ritain wasnt anywhere near ready for a war with Germany...I am surprised they should have been armed to the teeth with that record.

I mean "invasions" its more than WAR isnt it?

Sure. If we're going to hop in the time machine we could visit the time when aborigines left Africa to occupy what is now Australia. Was it a peaceful migration? Were any inhabitants killed? Michael Mansell holds the view that the inhabitants of Australia were driven south into Tasmania by the invading aborigines from Africa. Hardly a good position for aborigines to accuse others of invading.


Quote:
DNA confirms Aboriginal Australian origins

Aboriginal Australians descend from the same lineage as the first modern humans to migrate from Africa, DNA analysis has confirmed.

SYDNEY: Australian Aborigines descend from the same lineage as the first modern humans to migrate from Africa, DNA analysis has confirmed. The find is a further blow to the idea that the evolution of indigenous Australians was marked by many migrations from Asia.

“We wanted to know whether the same ‘Out-of-Africa’ migration that was responsible for founding the gene pools of Eurasia was also the basis for Australia’s population… or were there several separate migrations?” said study co-author and evolutionary biologist Toomas Kivisild, of the University of Cambridge in England.

The Out-of-Africa theory argues that modern humans evolved in Africa 100,000 to 200,000 years ago and one group migrated out to the rest of the world between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago, replacing – and not mixing with – ancient homo populations already there.

What about adultery as a means of gaining refugee status and protection? How many of those fleeing Syria are adulterers?


Quote:
We now give asylum to adulterers

     AN adulterous Iraqi taxi driver has been awarded an Australian refugee visa after he convinced the Refugee Review Tribunal he would be hunted down by an infuriated husband who caught him in an tryst with his wife.

    The Shia refugee, who arrived by boat from Indonesia in December 2011, claimed the husband, an Iraqi soldier, chased him through city streets after uncovering the affair, repeatedly firing a handgun at him.

It is too inconvenient for the adulterer to move elsewhere in Iraq to hide from the angry husband, but it is not too inconvenient to force Australians to subsidise his relocation to Australia:

    Refugee Review Tribunal member Rosemary Mathlin found in December that although he did not fear harm for a convention reason - such as race or political opinion - she awarded “complementary protection” because it was “highly probable that if the applicant returns to Iraq he will be killed by the husband of his former lover”.

    Ms Mathlin said it would be unreasonable to expect the man, from Thi Qar province in Iraq’s south, to resettle elsewhere in Iraq, such as a Shia neighbourhood in Baghdad, even if the husband did not find him.

    “Without (tribal and family connections) he would face discrimination in relation to housing, employment and basic services, and . . . he may even face physical danger.”

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/we_now_give_asylum_to_adulters/


Let's turn it into a comedy segment. Why not....after all the grounds for gaining refugee status have been turned into a burlesque. In Australia the best a person can hope for if he has problems with an angry husband is a phuking AVO. If you're from overseas and you have the same problem you get citizenship and welfare. You wonder why Australians are p!ssed off with this lunacy. Wonder no more.
