Quote:

‘No human is illegal’- protest chants emanating from major UK towns and cities are part of an echo chamber spanning across Europe, with public anger at a climax people are being galvanized into action, defiant against the inaction and apparent inability of their government to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees attempting to reach the safety of European shores. They further reject the stigma that has been attached to the refugees by both the Western elite governments and the press– ‘the illegals’. As Immigration attorney Shahid Haque-Hausrath, commented on the popular use of this label ‘‘I’m not aware of any other circumstance in our common vernacular where a crime is considered to render the individual – as opposed to the individual’s actions – as being illegal. We don’t even refer to our most dangerous and vile criminals as being “illegal.”

According to the United Nations, 50 per cent are non-Syrian. As to whether they're refugees, well, usually, refugees flees as families. Yet here, from those UN statistics, is the breakdown of those "refugees":

13 per cent children
12 per cent women
75 per cent men

That's not the demographic distribution of fleeing refugees, but of an invading army.

You must be thinking of a very odd army.

I think you are stretching it a bit.....if someone most dangerous entered our country he would be sent bask asap?... so no contest...some who is in fact here illegally it needs to be proved which in our case takes years...

its the definition once again that in question its their actions ILLEGAL actions that give them this name...

if someone robbed you and took everything you owned would you call them a robber/thief or a nice person who has lost his way?..

unless you are perfect.[ ::) ::)] then I doubt very much if you do not call a person doing the wrong thing...

a person who IS  doing the wrong a thing.. :D

And if the dictatorship can't arrest/execute/punish the man, they target the family.

If you were frightened enough to run from a dictatorial regime, would you  be happy to leave your wife and kids in the firing line??

I am amazed how we have come to accept dictatorships that kill their own people.. and then the fleeing of the remains of their people...

its almost taken for granted now we will have this mass exodus of human beings.. of  as we all know mostly MEN.

who once upon a time fought to the death to stop vile dictators from killing all their loved ones..

now its any man to the boats first..

the trouble is not everyone is fleeing... >:( >:(

Right, first you lot condemn refugees for putting their women and children on leaky boats - then when it turns out its overwhelmingly the men who are risking their lives to find sanctuary for their families to join them later - safely, they are condemned for being fake.

Less poms here, than the rest of Perth.

The major differences between the countries of birth of the population in the Town of Victoria Park and Greater Perth were:

A larger percentage of people born in India (3.9% compared to 1.6%)

A larger percentage of people born in China (2.4% compared to 0.9%)

A larger percentage of people born in Malaysia (2.5% compared to 1.4%)

A smaller percentage of people born in United Kingdom (8.0% compared to 11.4%)

http://profile.id.com.au/victoria-park/birthplace

We have more Indians, Chinese, and Malaysians here, and less poms.

We also have more Muslims:

The major differences between the religious affiliation for the population of the Town of Victoria Park and Greater Perth were:

A larger percentage who nominated Islam (4.3% compared to 2.1%)

A larger percentage who nominated Hinduism (3.0% compared to 1.1%)

A smaller percentage who nominated Anglican (12.9% compared to 18.5%)

A smaller percentage who nominated Western (Roman) Catholic (22.6% compared to 24.4%)

http://profile.id.com.au/victoria-park/religion

Despite this, I don't have an irrational fear of darkies and Muslims, like our good friend doubleplus does.

sounds about right.
the good bogan battlers will show hospitality to the new arrivals.
the do-gooders will watch on SBS.
it is pitiful to be a morally superior leftie intellectual.
a position totally lacking in authenticity.
all "real" australians are far more repulsed by the hypocritical leftie intellectual then the refugee who will probably turn out to be a good bloke once we westernise him.

i think its important for the people of the western suburbs to continually point this out to the neighbours from different cultures, to point out that the leftie intellectual is all talk, no action.
That he really doesnt care about the refugee.
That if he did , he would visit the western suburbs and run english classes or assist the christian aid groups like st vincent de paul who do the heavy lifting.

Lets create allies of our new arrivals.
Allies in a class war against those who have professed their love for the refugee , but then abandoned them.
It is true that the opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference and the leftie intellectual is indifferent to the refugee once he has served his political purpose.
he is used , much as a whore, for the self gratification of the leftie intellectual who then casts him aside like some unwanted piece of meat.
very shameful situation

Yes, a paradox that I have found is that "righties" speak of humanity in the abstract with less than  glowing tones, but have no trouble interacting with and finding common ground with individual humans.  Conversely, "lefties" praise humanity in the abstract, but have nothing but contempt for individual humans. 

This is another quirk of evolutionary psychology:


Quote:

Bruce G. Charlton, Professor of Theoretical Medicine at the University of Buckingham and Editor in Chief of Medical Hypotheses, may have an explanation.  In his editorial(link is external) in the December 2009 issue of Medical Hypotheses, Charlton suggests that liberals and other intelligent people may be “clever sillies,” who incorrectly apply abstract logical reasoning to social and interpersonal domains. ... liberals and other intelligent people lack common sense, because their general intelligence overrides it.  They think in situations where they are supposed to feel.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201003/if-liberals-are-more-intelligent-conservatives-why-are

On this invasion, "Righties" trust their gut - if it looks like trouble, that's what it is, whereas liberals insist on confounding their own observations with nonsense.

And I've been in literally thousands of strangers houses.

i think that sprint and herb would probably be more likely to go and help out teaching english to new migrants then leftie intellectuals.
there is a reason that people are intellectuals.
because they live their lives in "thought"
herb and sprint probably live their lives in "action"
certainly sprint rides a bike (action)
and herb migrated here (action)
but leftie intellectuals are usually incapable of action.
That, after all, is why they became intellectuals in the first place.
they live in a thought bubble.

Are they really strangers if you know them well enough to determine whether they're "lefties" or "righties"?

I particularly enjoyed the explanation into how 'intelligent' means
stupid and 'non-intelligent' means 'smart.

Scintillating.

Ending with a South Park quote is a real crowd pleaser also.

Come now Honky. The only thing that ridiculous article schooled was itself.

You shame yourself posting it in any kind of seriousness.

I would think you were taking the piss were it not for previous encounters with you. I'd certainly pay it as a good joke. Had somebody more discerning posted it, i may even have responded with a little yellow laughing face.

Your non-specific disagreement with the expertly authored content has been noted.

Lefties by any quantifiable measure are not very smart.

they dont seem to do as well economicly as righties.
everyone knows that women , in particular, refuse to be with lefties because they have low social value.
they live a life of anxiety and anger and dont seem to have mastered their emotions.

its simply a mediocre way to live.

they are welcome to come over from the dark side.

they just need to self -actualise and be 'all that they can be"  and admire and aspire to be cream. ;) ;)

yes, In my former line of work (painter) I used to spend from 2 days to a week in a strangers house, whist they may have started to feel familiar by the end of the process, they were still strangers.

Maybe if you had spent more time working and less time talking politics you could have cut that down to 1-3 days.

My former business partner and I used to paint a 3 bed dwelling housing commission (vacant) either internally or externally in 1.5 days. Just the two of us. All the walls, ceilings and woodwork. No shortcuts.
One year we painted 380 houses, although by then we had 2 extra staff. That's more than one house a day.

Private dwellings take longer because you have to work around people and their belongings, and at the end of the day you have to clean everything, whereas in a vacant housing commission house, it didn't matter if I left the paint splatter on the tiles to be cleaned the next day.

If you find any painter with quicker processes than that, you let me know, otherwise you'd best stick to topics you can at least pretend to know something about.

Working that hard wouldnt leave a lot of time for determining the political attitudes of strangers though.

I'm guessing "most multicultural" is a measure of how many different ethnicities live in the suburb.  A suburb that is full of lebs oly has 1 ethnicity.

Absolutely.

There's quite a diverse range of real estate in Victoria Park.

If not Victoria Park, then they could certainly afford East Victoria Park.

Traditionally blue-collar, Victoria Park now hosts urban professionals, students and mature couples and families, plus notable Asian and Italian communities.

Not too ritzy, not neglected, not too far from the city…Victoria Park could be defined by the things it isn’t, but it is definitely underrated given the lifestyle here.

Sloping down to riverside parklands, Victoria Park features a broad mix of housing including consistent streets of heritage homes on the flatlands by the river.

One then supposes that every fish bone, grinding-stone, stamping ground, stone tool and every other Aboriginal artifact has been removed from your property and environs.

As an 'invader'. you need to validate your claim on traditional land. The bill of sale you possess doesn't acknowledge traditional ownership. You have never paid the owner.

So you have no problem with supplanting one culture with another - but then have the gall to proclaim your 'claimed' area of land as 'multicultural' because you share it with others who have no claim either.

Love it!

Yes. I live in one of the most multicultural suburbs in Australia. you would have to tell us which one that is.. its hard to believe that I am afraid... in Sydney they have actually taken over whole suburbs...... most play spot the aussie if they go there...come on greg.. which suburb prove us wrong.. London is no different...and you will find a few ethnic groups dont mix......which is ok NOW..but who knows when they all get comfortable and the gangs start happening ????... Ireland is a massive case of teaching old hatreds keep them festering and even growing.... There's a Thai takeaway down the road from Greggorry's house and he thinks that makes his suburb multicultural. Like you said Cod we have whole areas where Aussies are a minority in Sydney. We have whole schools without one aussie student. You still don't understand what multicultural means. I'll give you a hint - look at the first part of the word, and see if you can figure out what that means. One then supposes that every fish bone, grinding-stone, stamping ground, stone tool and every other Aboriginal artifact has been removed from your property and environs. As an 'invader'. you need to validate your claim on traditional land. The bill of sale you possess doesn't acknowledge traditional ownership. You have never paid the owner. So you have no problem with supplanting one culture with another - but then have the gall to proclaim your 'claimed' area of land as 'multicultural' because you share it with others who have no claim either.

We have Aboriginals in Vic Park too.

Moreover, none of them have asked me to move out.

Traditionally blue-collar, Victoria Park now hosts urban professionals, students and mature couples and families, plus notable Asian and Italian communities. Not too ritzy, not neglected, not too far from the city…Victoria Park could be defined by the things it isn’t, but it is definitely underrated given the lifestyle here. Sloping down to riverside parklands, Victoria Park features a broad mix of housing including consistent streets of heritage homes on the flatlands by the river.

There will be no river views for Australia's refugee population. Think about them when you sip a chardy while watching the sunset glisten off the Swan . They'll have to make do with a balcony with washing hanging off the rails.

There's washing on my balcony too.

(I do have a splendid view of the river, though)

You wouldn't believe the suburbs housing the refugees in Sydney. Crapholes.

Yes, some real slums in Vic Park, that's for sure.

The Paramount is excellent, though.

And, we have a new wine/tapas bar opening up downstairs this Friday.

Life is good.

Some good food on that strip of Albany hwy.  Beware though - I used to have decent food around my way before muslims bought the establishments and ruined them all.
