blasphemer .

you wash your mouth out for spreading such lies.

It's true. And pasta is a Chinese invention. The humble potato? An American Indian import, like corn - like chilies, a popular Asian import.

I can't think of much that is an inherently European thing. Paper, printing, bread, tiles - all Chinese or Middle Eastern inventions.

Oh, Homo would say this rails against Anglo-Saxon culture, but I'm a bit confused about what Anglo-Saxons have come up with themselves. Viking ships maybe. Drinking vessels made from horns.

The British were at their best when they adapted things - Indian food and textiles, Chinese furniture and ceramics. Even modern popular music is adapted from African American and West Indian culture.

The English are excellent at accommodating other cultures - a legacy, perhaps, of their colonization by the Romans and French. Like New York, London is one of the world's great immigrant cities.

You watch too much ACA.

Go there, and see for yourself.

It's wonderful.

I'm off to Germany, Austria, and Slovenia again in the near future.

If I get attacked by the big bad Muzzies, I'll let you know.

Vienna is a great city. It's filled with Arabs and Turks. To my knowledge, they've never had any bombings or terrorist attacks either - like us.

The only Austrian terrorism I can think of was WWII.

Indeed.

I made friends with some Turks there last year. Delightful fellows.

The only people who bother me in Vienna, are the locals who blow smoke my way while I'm eating in a restaurant.

Ban them.

Yes, Europe is still one of the last great places you can smoke in peace. Everybody smokes.

I can't think of one great city that hasn't been made great through immigration. Can you?

I'm sure one must exist.

No worries, Homo, nobody said you have to be a Christian.

You can become a Muslim if that appeals to you. That's the marvelous thing about our enlightened Western culture.

Freedom of religion, innit.

It is not true. Pizza by definition has the topping cooked on it, the bread from the middle east that you are referring to was cooked separately (usually on their shields) and then had toppings added before being consumed.

Oh, and you forgot the humble tomato ... also from the Americas ... imagine pasta before Bolognaise sauce .... the Chinese were heathens Roll Eyes

Sorry, Bias, I might have misunderstood your original post. I think you meant that we should only help people fleeing war when we've made Australian roads, electricity, water and health services the best in the world.

Is this right? - Karnal

That's correct, if you want to read it that way. More to the point, fix those problems for existing residents first ....and then, persuade the belligerent Libs and Labs to stay out of other nations they have no right to go into without a direct threat to Australia

Read the relevant clause in the Constitution ....

The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth with respect to:

(vi) the naval and military defence of the Commonwealth and of the several States, and the control of the forces to execute and maintain the laws of the Commonwealth;

If the Lib Lab politicians don't understand this simply clause, can't expect their followers to understand it

No matter how much you rant, Karnal, it's not going to eradicate the group survival instinct that drives ethnic conflict. Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic(?) have already closed their borders to 'refugees'. How long do you think other countries will hold out? İf one of the 'big 3' turn, how long do you think it will be before the dominos fall one by one?
