In case anyone thought racism in America was dead . . .

[Mike375]

Sounds like it. However, the Democratic party had some similar notions when I was a child. Most of the deep south were "conservative democrats" aka "yellow dog democrats". That means they hated anyone who wasn't white.

Until about 1969 Australia had the White Australia Policy.

Your Democrats are very similar to our Labor Party both as to the past and the present. One of the things that causes these parties difficulties over the longer term is that one group of supporters are the left wing PC group and on the other side are the blue collar rednecks.

You made the initial statement, now prove it

 

[Rich]

Jesus? I thought you didn't believe in him.

Who mentioned a fictional character?

 

[Rich]

Do you know that you are not allowed to enter a bank without removing a motor bike crash helmet (face hidden) but a Muslim can enter with just the eyes showing.

It's the same here, but how many people are affected by this ruling?

 

[Rich]

I believe "shriveled" has also been used. The same people think that about you too, Rich. You're just in favor while you agree with them.

You don't know my age, now try and think of an original and genuine fact to back up your politics

 

[Mike375]

It's the same here, but how many people are affected by this ruling?

The main ones would be couriers on motor bikes.

But that is not the point. They are allowed to break the rule about walking into a bank with the face covered because of their religion. If it was not for our immigration program being changed to one of multi culturism this would not arise.

I bet you and George would like to return to the days before women had the vote eh

I act as if those days were still here That is why I like Lebo women and am involved with one although a Christain one. They know where they stand and do what they are told.

 

[Rabbie]

Mike seems to be living proof that racism is alive and well and flourishing in Australia

BTW are Lebo women women from Lebanon?? if so I think the correct work is Lebanese.

Here it is in video .. you know, when the Dems started using code words and then ran behind their institution of double-standard and blamed the Repubs for doing it.

Down here we call them Lebs or Lebos

 

[Alisa]

Does Alsia really believe that the world owes her a living because she works 40 hours a week?

Um, I believe the saying is something like, "working for a living"? Isn't making a living the whole POINT of working? If I can't make a living by working, then what is the point of working?

 

[Alisa]

Alisa,

A couple of points if I may.

Firstly, this is the political forum.

Secondly, it is attitudes such as yours that has made the situation in Australia far worse than might have been the case. Do you think that "not saying it" makes it go away? In fact just the opposite happens.

Thirdly, all this PC bullshit comes from the left. We currently have the left wanting the removal of The Lord's Prayer at the start of each parliamentary session on the basis of "it is not inclusive".

Mike,
Gassing people is not politics, it is genocide. If you think everyone like me ought to be slaughtered, just because I am different than you, then we have nothing to discuss.

 

[Rabbie]

I admire your unfailing instinct for being politically correct.

 

[Mike375]

I admire your unfailing instinct for being politically correct.

In Australia Lebs and Lebos is widely accepted as being "OK". Although people from Iraq, Syria etc might object. There are some other terms that are used for all Arabs which are also used in America and perhaps even England. However, being politically correct and not wanting to offend Alisa I won't mention the terms which of course will mean they will no longer be used

 

[Mike375]

Mike,
Gassing people is not politics, it is genocide. If you think everyone like me ought to be slaughtered, just because I am different than you, then we have nothing to discuss.

That is where you are wrong. Just like the invasion of Iraq and WWII it is an outcome of politics.

Um, I believe the saying is something like, "working for a living"? Isn't making a living the whole POINT of working? If I can't make a living by working, then what is the point of working?

So you think someone who starts a business and works 60 hours a week should "get a living" no matter what?

Are you deliberately misquoting Alisa? At no time did she say "get a living".
She is saying that that guy is working for a living and if it does not provide it he will stop, and presumeably try something else.

The reason most if not all people get out of bed and go to work is to make a living, to provide for themselves and their loved ones, sure a few do it for other reasons as well but if they cannot make a living at what they are doing then they will stop.

According to Mike, I don't deserve to live, so it is no surprise that he doesn't think that working qualifies me to make a living.

Simply working does not qualify someone to make a living...unless of course Obama wins office...

 

[Brianwarnock]

Mike. why would you work if you didn't make a living?

I think that if I couldn't make a living working then I would take to crime.
