In a democracy they can live comfortably, enjoy the high quality of life which they did not build and work for, they don’t have to be productive and earn a living, they can be wild, and break the law, exploit the social services, wear Burkas and make a mockery of our Police and Courts and generally bite the hand that feeds them.
After reading your post DK who has upset you enough to make a post like that?
The Arabs are not happy
How do you know that
ALL Arabs are not happy in their own countries?
What proof can you show us to back up your statement?
Is it Arabs that seem to have gotten under your skin or is it Muslims?
Australian Muslims make up less than 3% of our population yet our Government is fixated on pandering to them...
So what exactly has happened to you personally that has made you apparently so anti one entire culture or religion?
Do you consider yourself and all other Australians the same group?
If some idiot who happens to be a vegemite eating,card carrying surf club member Australian and is called Johnno or Stevo (3rd or 4th generation by birth if that makes you happy) does something very stupid and who milks the welfare system (as many do) at every opportunity do you include these as in your group because they have not migrated to Australia or arrived as a refugee ?
Would you be happy to have yourself and
ALL Australians regarded as the same just as you have with all those who are Arabic?
Your posts seem to be all but consumed with a Xenophobic theme that I for one find disturbing.
With regard to the 14 year old allegedly in possession of 6.9 grams of cannabis in Bali.
I have no problem with him facing the legal system of any country if he was an adult but he is not.There are a few points to be raised here though.
First,is there one of us who did not do anything stupid when we were 13 or 14 and were lucky to get away with it?
Second,to suggest that he had no right at 14 to be walking down the beach without his parents is ridiculous.Anyone here not walk down the beach or there shops at that age in Bali or any holiday destination on their own?
Third,we are hearing reports from the media about his alleged history and behaviour and most here seem to be accepting this as the gospel truth when as anyone involved in aviation and other areas of employment know that the media can and frequently do print or report stories that are patently false or at best exaggerated.
It has been suggested that his Indonesian legal representation has advised that it would be best for him to state that he is a known user of cannabis for personal reasons rather than as an alleged dealer.How do any of us know that these stories are the complete truth.
We have a situation where an Australian 14 year old is facing the indonesian legal and justice system which can be described as an oxymoron at best and a quagmire of duplicitous decisions at worst.It is a widely known rumour that the Bali dealers work with the so called intel police and give up their customers who are then arrested and the goods returned to the dealer to sell again and so the process goes on and on.
We see a legal system which if enforced could see this 14 year old locked up for 12 years but an Indonesian Airline captain who was responsible for the deaths of many people basically walked away a free man.
I'm not condoning drug use in any way but to leave a 14 year old in this situation is not acceptable to me and if any of us had a son or daughter in the same situation we would be doing everything possible to get them home and if the charges true true then dealing with them when they got home.
