I am very sorry but I have no idea what you are trying to say. SO many words, yet no sense.
Turn back the boats and not take the people?.
Don't turn back the boats and take the people?
Turn back the boats but take the people?
Keep the boats and turn back the people?

What?


You can't understand that?  Whats wrong with you.?  Is english a second language??

try harder dwad.



A lot fewer words (than you!) but still no sense.

So Soren Have you thought about what I have said??

I don't think you want to hear things like that eh?

Much rather follow the mob of populism. Which ever swing of the pendulum you choose.

Was thinking about Fahrenheit 451 last night... how desperately those powers that were.. sought to deny truth and history by burning all those books.


Vonnegut had a grip on a real idea ... and yet now technology has made the premise redundant.

Today ...we are much more malleable... much  shorter in concentration and lacking knowledge of our past.  But we have access to knowledge like never before in human history.
The problem???  Most of us are too ignorant to take advantage.

Truth is a philosophy, not a reality. Sad

It is a very good question. Your preferred option was to "Resettle them before they get to the point that they're willing to risk everything they have including their lives in boats."

How many of those would you resettle? All? And if not all, how would you deal with the ones that you are not prepared to resettle and who therefore get into boats and sail for Australia because they do not want to wait in camps while you get good and ready to resettle them?

- Soren


ERR Soren --isn't that the case at present????????
What are you saying,  do you know?  Talk about finishing at the start of the argument.

Roll Eyes

Indonesia should do as Sri Lanka apparently does, and turn the boats back before they get  outside the respective 'waters'. 

Indonesia WILL NOT DO SO....hence most of these desperate people come to us from Indonesia.

That would be the pragmatists solution.
Once a boat has travelled so far... as to have approached or entered Australian waters,,  the suggestion to turn them back loses all credibility.

A cruel and unusual and unnecessary act of punishment . 

Unviable, life-threatening and against all civilised thinking.
LIKE IT or NOT.



What does THIS mean?

There are many people who pretend to be refugees and are not refugees at all.

The purpose of the policy that Australia must have is to keep this people out.

Stop boats from coming to your country and stop allowing them to come in and make fun of your system.

To do that you must be strong.

It means what I say above.

In a nutshell.  Is that helpful at all? Huh

Not helpful at all, I'm afraid.
You said that the 'pragmatist' solution is not available since Indonesia will not do as Sri Lanka. SO that solution is not available.


SO what is your actual solution, then?

Exactly.

Iranians and Pakistanis travel from Teheran, Lahore, Islamabad  to Christmas Island in one week. Not desperate refugees.

Concentrate on Indonesia.
Request, require, INSIST,,, that Indonesia watches its borders much more carefully.  INSIST.
And back it with naval ships along the 'trade route'  at their borders.

They are the enablers.  IS that CLEARER.  ??

Not perhaps a very diplomatic approach  -- BUT ..  its the only real approach to take.

IF however our current government is as ineffective as previous successive governments in the face of Indonesian opposition, ...as it has been since before the invasion of New Guinea by the Indonesians.. then we just have to swallow it. Don't we.?   Or effectively order the deaths of innocents. 


Take these poor people in, and make them Australians.  Else lose everything we consider important... in the nearing future.

Forget the furphy's.... Nauru / Malaysia. Lot of BS.
Red herrings....  distractions from the real game.

Your agenda is clear.   and your fear.   

Nothing will change what is going to happen... all your hate and loathing is BAD for your health.!!!

Correct.
You have to make some strong decisions.

In Israel we make the decision to ignore the UN Convention and not process any refugees at the border who come through neutral countries.

The UN is not the overall law on this.

Aussies need to understand this.
You do not have to do anything because the UN says.

to me there is an inevitability that our 'present' cannot be kept..without change.
And not a change to our liking....obviously, from all that has been said.  So  Smiley you better be ready.

It is coming to all of us in one way or another.

Raising the barricades and preparing to repulse all invaders cannot work in our world, much as you might love that it could.
That is very short-term thinking.  Dream on .

Then again you could just be preaching self serving tripe on behalf of Big business and the financial benefit of a separatist minority shadow economy or you could be some outsider altogether seeking territorial and economic advantage from Australia....either way you did not make a point.

It seems to me that the only ones who benefit from open national borders and undermined social security are greedy exclusive corporations who greedily preserve their own separatist shadow collective economic borders and demand freedom for themselves that they seek to deny other citizens.  Lets remember those who seek to deny us our economic borders and security, robbed us  of our national assets, resources and infrastructure through privatization and robbed us of our Government.
Greed is at the heart of those who seek open borders, because while they seek to dissolve our economic borders, they raise their own corporate economic borders - as separate self Governing economies yes we... have your number jalane, so willing to fight against the rights to economic & border security of all, so that corporate collectives as shadow self governing entities can hoard more for themselves.  And this motive is self evident and miserable.

Well I think I got that CW.Sock,, Prevailing.

I despise the corporatization of our world... the unwritten Law that money is pre-eminent and desireable above all else. Corporations are indeed the shadows that run us, our lives, and our choices.  Thats where we are... we have no value unless we work hard make money and spend it on crap.

Chaos is preferable... almost. Shocked
