Misty, do you believe our immigration program should completely exclude foreign cultures, or that they can be allowed provided they assimilate (not integrate)?

Assimilation, as best as possible, should be the ideal.

And how do you define "assimilation". Misty?

How do you measure "assimilation"?

When does an immigrant know they are "assimilated" sufficiently? How will a critic determine when an immigrant is "assimilated" sufficiently?

Do you want them to appear (physically) identical with a natural born Australian? Should they look the same as an Indigenous Australian? Do you? Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

'Equally valid'. Then why argue against them? It's obvious you don't consider them equally valid otherwise you wouldn't be disagreeing. This is clear case of where the buzzword 'equality' distorts thinking.

Only in your mind Misty, only in your mind... Roll Eyes

Well, it is processed by my mind, but that's not the point. The term 'equality' as a measure of judging arguments distorts the evaluation process. If it's all equal there would be no need for arguments at all.

"Equality" does not, except in the simplest of minds, equate to "equalness". Roll Eyes

This was settled decades ago by the Feminists. Roll Eyes

I disagree, FD and that is the point I am making.

I thought you were feigning confusion? You know, Pauline Hanson and all that?

Quote:

Until you quote back to me where I have supposedly done this, I will refuse to acknowledge your question or even consider answering it.

Won't you be just as confused as the last time I quoted it back for you?

Quote it in it's entirety and then point out exactly where you believe I have equated a religion to a "race", FD. Otherwise, run along, you've become boring again with your imagined arguments. Roll Eyes

I have no idea why you are so confused, or where you got that Pauline Hanson BS from. It was bleeding obvious what I was referring to. Are you going to magically become less confused if I do the exact same thing again?

Quote it and see, FD. Lets see if your powers of deduction are as great as you claim... Roll Eyes

Assimilation, as best as possible, should be the ideal.

And how do you define "assimilation". Misty?

Oh, I think Mistie means things like learning the local language, wearing the local dress, assuming the correct facial hair, etc, etc, etc.

You know, the way that if we moved to Turkey, we'd learn Turkish, wear a fez and grow a mustache.

Assimilation. Mistie used to be really into it.

Since he moved to Turkey, Mistie's become a multiculturalist.

Sorry, FD, are you saying you don't expect a different result when you ask questions? I'm curious.

We need more gated communities to keep the riff-raff out.

There are too many undesirable people who walk the streets & rob honest people.
Burglaries are happening every minute in Australia.

Gated Communities are the way of the future.

The prospective resident chooses from a pile of brochures that present a prospectus of what the different places are like.

For myself I would chose ..

1) A quiet GC.
2) No kids younger than 16.
3) Dogs and cats okay - but a barker will be removed from the GC unless someone like Cesar Millan can train the thing to shut up.
4) No noisy mufflers.
5) No trucks
6) No Muslims
7) No Negroes.
8) No Pacific Islanders
9) Chinese and Indians okay in limitted numbers.
10) No wood-burning fires in winter.

etc

Queers I don't mind as long as they are in a permanent relationship and aren't going to annoy anybody. No loose cannons. I've worked with educated homos, and they were good people with good social and moral values. It's the Neanderthal homos that I don't like.

If they've got a bit of class - I don't mind what they do with their arse. (poetry)

Yes but my imagination runs away with me when ever I meet a homo -
I think of what they get up to & it repulses me.
I suppose I'm homophobic - I can't help it.

You should visit some of the hetero porn sites to see what some of the straights get up to ... revolting stuff.

I never watch porno - it seems so animalistic -
it makes me feel sick.
