This is actually spring 1941 in Greece, when Gerry were trying to determine how their batters would go against a combined New Zealand First X1 cricket side (apparently pretty well).
Just a little confused here... so if your from Australia and travel to Canada, were ok with anal sex and English??? Never realised we had that much influence in our brother Commonwealth country... (better watch out for the Kiwi's their tendencies are worse then ours....)
Quote AGS; Was it you or Blackstump who said the Europeans should leave because the Koori were here 1st (that statement, in itself, is implicative that the Koori have a "right" to ownership of the land)?
Answer Stumpy; Well it certainly wasn't me asking anybody to leave AGS. Sounds more like your game... I only asked, if your ancestors were boat people also ?
Fancy the originals having a "right to ownership" (your words not mine) Owe that's right, the plants and animals had dominion first...funny that doesn't strike me as very biblical . Sounds like your a little tightly wound there son.
Quote AGS; So it was either you, or BS, that started the whole land "rights" issue
Stumpy replies; Well no, i believe that was you.
AGS Quotes Oh, here is a conundrum for you.
If, as you say, those, like myself, who are descended from the illegal European invaders should leave and descendants of the original Koori inhabitants can stay in Australia....
What then, of those descended from both?
Stumpy replies;
Who said what?? Mate you need some help.
AGS quotes;
What is interestingly pertinent, is that the Koori never made a claim on land rights until well over 150 years after the English invaded.
Why?
Because the Koori never considered land ownership to be an issue.
Stumpy answers Wow complete ignorance. More than 2000 Koori/murry dialects, all with strict tribal boundaries, with many wars fought over this land. All dismissed with one idiotic statement. You surpass yourself.
Quote AGS Any educated person, with any real knowledge of Koori culture, will know and understand, that, in the Koori's eyes, the Koori, belonged to the land, not the other way around.
Stumpy replies Think i just disqualified you from educated about the original inhabitants.
So the Koori belongs to "his" land, but the boat people own "the" land, so the boat people now own the Koori... Hmm now i start to see "why" you hate boat people so much AGS, lol, maybe you now see it from my side.
Stalky you really should be Australian, there's still a few of us left (don't tell AGS). Stwa you funny ! (pot calls kettle black). AGS you funny too ! (you have and Asian wife and a Koori friend, but your anti Muslim/boatpeople stance doesn't click with your forgiving Christ's believe, what a conundrum).P.S (Your ancestors were boat people too). David change back before its to late !
Firstly i didn't string a few of your sentences together.
Correct You didn't string a few of my sentences together You took parts from 3 of my sentences and mixed them together to create an entirely new sentence.
The gist of what you are saying is you don't wont illegal boat people here in Australia, correct ?
Pretty much
What i want is genuine assylum seekers coming to Australia, legally, by making their applications from OS, like they are supposed to.
Did you hear about the People Smuggling kingpin, Captain Emud, who got an assylum seeker protection Visa, after captaining an illegal immigrant boat to Australia?
See, this boatpeople immigration system lets crims into our country
The present situation sucks!
Liers, cheats and frauds are coming in by the boatload atm because the system is failing.
The people smugglers are overloading our immigration department by flooding us with illegals.
They dont have time to process the backlog of 1000s of legal applications from genuine assylum seekers from overseas.
What would you prefer?
No illegal boat people coming, freeing 100s, or 1000s of immigration department people to process the applications of genuine assylum seekers, who apply through the proper way?
or
Do you favour criminals getting rich by sending 100s, 1000s of people, illegally, on unseaworthy boats, many of which sink with all the passengers drowning?
Another hundred of them drowned yesterday
If Australia adopted a zero tolerance of illegal boat people, it would save thousands of people from drowning at sea.
Also thousands of legal assylum seekers would get their applications processed because our immigration department would not be swamped with illegals. It would also save hundreds of millions of tax payers money, which could be put to better use.
This would imply to somebody as "daft" as i, that you have no Christian love for these boat people, correct ?.
Added a comma to your sentence so that it made sense grammatically
Correct, a person could make such a daft error.
As a christian, i have a love for all humanity and a strong desire for as many as possible to recieve the gift of eternal life. This includes illegal boat people, you, AT_Stalky, MF and even people smugglers.
As a Christian, i also have a strong sense of justice.
The present system provides riches for people smugglers, drownings for many of their customers, legal assylum seekers being pushed back down the queue by people who can afford to buy their way into Australia. Where is the justice in that?
Even tho in your words i'm "intellectually challenged" i still seem to be able to understand this, correct?.
Your understanding is improving, but still falling a little short. Don't realy believe you are intellectually challenged, maybe you just had a "blonde moment".
Please don't start another attack on me about racisim against blondes, i just used a common coloquial expression (was pure blonde as a child, but i grew out of it )
If i can ask you this, are you Koori by nationality? or where your ancestors illegal immigrants in their eyes?
There was no legal system when my ancestors arrived other than that which was established by the South Australian british settlement (1838 & 1848 my maternal & paternal families arrived).
Of course, you are right, the British invasion of Australia is no better than the European invasion of North America. As for me, i was born legally here, my family has been here 7 generations.
You ask if i admire their total disrespect for Australians and Australia. I ask you, why would they risk their all to get their kids here if they hate the place ?
Never said they hate the place. Just to be reciprical, i shall honour your question with as much of an answer as you gave mine
Wow an illegal stabbed someone and there was a rape.... think that shits been going on in Australia for awhile....
Yes, rapes and stabbing did happen befroe. You must be right when you assume that guy would have just been stabbed by somebody else if the illegal hadn't been here and somebody else would have raped the girl too, right? They are not the only 2 victims of illegals.
Just a sample of those who would have been safer had their assailents never got here.
Don't know if these were legal or llegal immigrants, but re some of the islamic immigrants (which the majority are assylums and majority of those are illegals).
Muslim man throws acid in face of woman who refused to marry him (a practice in some islamic countries) Muslim parents beat their teenage daughter to death in front of her siblings, because she was too Australian..
Just 2 examples of violent acts, never seen in Australia, until the islamic invasion.
has "that shits been going on in Australia for awhile...."?
No i have no shares in the "people smuggling rackets" the only share i have is in humanity.
Glad to hear about the no p.s.r. shares
Sad that your version of humanity is happy about the present situation where illegal boatpeople are drowning in the hundreds, nearly every week, because the people smugglers are maximiseing their prophets by overloading cheap, unseaworthy boats with prospective fish food
STOP THE BOATS = Stopping the drownings
STOP THE BOATS = Stopping criminals getting rich
STOP THE BOATS = Stopping queue jumpers (giving legals a chance)
CHEERS
AGS
P.S. thats all for today, my wife is calling again
Glad to hear you want to stop the drownings now... i guess sinking the boats wasn't such a good idea? Also good to hear your OK with Muslims.. no acid throwers or child beaters ,rapists .. we only take the honest ones.. sounds very promising.
Lucky about there being no legal system in South Australian British colony in 1838/1848 when your ancestors arrived. At least none that they recognized anyhow. Did any one ask the locals what they thought about the British boat people? (was there any checks on their moral perpetuity?) O that's right "terra nullius"..
You say your wife had to jump through many hoops to become a legal immigrant? What has that to do with being and asylum seeker? Show me the proof that Australia's intake of immigrants has change because of refugee's. Our immigrant intake is set to increase because of a labour shortage caused by the mining boom. Do you wish to argue this?
BTW thanks for pointing out my grammatical comma error, i suppose now would be a good time to tell you that most of us spell asylum with one "s" and racism with one "i".
You like to preach your version of Christianity on this forum AGS. But i have higher virtues then you. I don't need your Christian love AGS , i would prefer you practice what your good book teaches you, but without the "but ifs" in between. Everybody deserves a rice-bowl in this world, not just the ones with the might and power. To quote, "Let ye without sin, cast the first stone". Or one of my favorites for those 7th generation White Australians.. "Those that live in glass houses ought not throw stones"
Its amazing how some "atheists" on this site have a more benevolent attitude then the so call Christians. And even our soul Muslim (that i know of) is more forgiving then our Christian brothers.. Life is full of straw man arguments AGS, you should look deep within yourself and see that beyond your beliefs, we all share the same DNA. Your views are shrouded by a mist, you think you have lifted a veil, but in fact you are blinkered by your faith. Sad.
First.. AGS Your feelings about the "boat people" To Quote "these people sicken you" Because their availability to $5000 US means they aren't genuine refugees.
Do i have to endlessly requote myself because intelectually challenged people cant read straight?
Realy i expected better from you Blackstump, instead i get a philistine strawman argument.
None of the illegal immigrant boat people are even genuinley poor by 3rd world standards!
Lets look at the way Blackstump reads
Blackstump took a few words from 3 of my sentences and joined them together to create an entirely new sentence. Then like a true strawman, Blackstump attacked this new sentence which he had created and berated me for it
OK, lets do a quote of Blackstump using the Blackstump technique...........
Do you also admire their total disrespect for Australia and Australians? They spit on our law, they trample on our soverienty, the show contempt for our borders. They take advantage of our social welfare system (must admit so do many Aussies, but centrelink is cracking down on them now)
It sickens me that the system, at this present time, favours criminals and disadvantages genuine assylum seekers.
It appears that you are in favour of allowing illegal immigrants, who have no respect for Australia, to jump the queue ahead of thousands of hardworking genuine assylum seekers, who are stranded, simply because, they either, have good morals/integrity, or are not rich, or both...
Shame on you Blackstump ..
Blackstump..., do you have shares in a people-smuggling racket ?
Personally, i would like to see the thousands who are legally/legitimately trying to get assylum in Australia have a chance, but they have no hope, why?
the system, at this present time, favours criminals and disadvantages genuine assylum seekers.
CHEERS
AGS
.
Firstly i didn't string a few of your sentences together. The gist of what you are saying is you don't wont illegal boat people here in Australia, correct ? This would imply to somebody as "daft" as i that you have no Christian love for these boat people, correct ? Even tho in your words i'm "intellectually challenged" i still seem to be able to understand this, correct? OK glad we cleared that up. If i can ask you this, are you Koori by nationality? or where your ancestors illegal immigrants in their eyes? You ask if i admire their total disrespect for Australians and Australia. I ask you, why would they risk their all to get their kids here if they hate the place ? They take advantage of our welfare system ? So do many Australians, lets include our tax free churches. I've seen a lot of immigrants, the majority are all hard working.
You ask if i had my way, i could turn Australia into a third world country? Well without checking we have 22 million people in this country, and your talking about 10 to 15 thousand illegal boat people. Don't know if you ever get out much AGS but Australia's a big place. I reckon you could stick another 22 million in here and i could drive around a fair bit before i found them...and if you could get 11 million of them to work then the place would look no different...
Wow an illegal stabbed someone and there was a rape.... think that shits been going on in Australia for awhile...
Yep i do read the papers and i do watch TV and Ive worked all over Australia for more then 30 years I'm sure i have a pretty good cross reference of the real Australian, Ive worked with thousands of them.
Did i misunderstand your sentence " It sickens me that the system at this present time, favours criminals and disadvantages genuine asylum seekers" No sure didn't. No genuine asylum seeker has been disadvantaged by the "illegal boat people" you should check your facts.
No i have no shares in the "people smuggling rackets" the only share i have is in humanity. P.S Yes i understand, obviously more profoundly then you.
Wow.. the last few posts have revealed some interesting beliefs amongst the believers. First.. AGS Your feelings about the "boat people" To Quote "these people sicken you" Because their availability to $5000 US means they aren't genuine refugees. I would have thought your Christian beliefs would prevent your philistine attitude? I know that if i had the money to move my family to safety at that cost from Afghanistan to a better life, than i would be prepared to spend my life savings. I personally admire their grit... are they "illegals" ... yes. Do i want them kicked out?.. no I personally believe that somebody who has worked his arse off to make it here will eventually benefit the country... (minus our politicians and do gooders) If they want to work then they are welcome. So it would seem that and old atheist bushy has a more Christian outlook then a modern day Baptist... strange furniture there....
Which brings me to MajourFrank... you posted some leads to David showing your contemporary view of the Australian political scene from bygone eras.. lol... Ive been kicking around Australia for nearly 40 years.. haven't seen more then a dozen skinheads in that time...are white Australians racist... some... will they kill you because of it? hardly, the majority of people i know couldn't give a rats arse. As long as you do your job and don't think your better then somebody else.. you will do ok in Oz.
David your promulgation from the bible from Romans about sin is all very well... you may live under grace. BUT you still live under the law....you will do well to remember it. I hope and can see that you live your life following this wisdom that you have found in a book. I follow a similar attitude i found by living and learning from my mistakes. No divine intervention needed. By your standards i'm a sinner ... by my standards your a wowser.
Be careful of your reply David, if you remember the history of your fable that poor bastard had to live in a cave and be mauled by a lion every night until dawn when he was miraculously repaired , only to repeated again every night till the end of time. Havent met him yet ,but i bet hes over it by now... an all this for following orders... well it dosnt seem to pay to be on the wrong side,, does it ? And i thought your Christ was a forgiving soul...
Yes i have to agree with Stalky here and this and many more atrocities committed by Christian men is the reason i turn my back to it.
Hmm, I'll never use a knife to prepare and eat my food, or use as a tool for work ... because some have used a knife to kill people.
I would think your knife of Christianity is closer to the sword of Damocles than the spear of Longinus,,, which in the long run has caused more damage ?
Yes i have to agree with Stalky here and this and many more atrocities committed by Christian men is the reason i turn my back to it. This is why i say my philosophy is better then theirs. Your religion is tainted by it. No doubt i will here that this is not Christs teachings as I've heard many a time before, but what i see from your churches is the real blasphemy. The way they treat those that are not theirs and even how they treat those that are.. i call these the blind. This is the real abomination, it is no better than the nazis or the communists, or dictatorships. To belong to such a group would make me feel filthy. Do not get me wrong AGS or David, if Christ had wrote the new testament then we would have a clearer picture of his meaning. But he didn't, others did. Versions of hearsay are what you base your life's on. Paul was a Roman turn coat, this is a basis of Roman catholicism? The church of England was formed by a self serving king? Other churches have their own basis in lies. do you belong to a lie ? Sorry AGS but i have studied Christian religion and the whiff of corruption has still not left my nose.
From memory the passage is "go and sin no more". At least in the King James version of the fable. Of course the " let ye who is without sin cast the first stone" passage would infer that those who would, would have broken the law, as it wasnt Roman law that adultery was punishable by death. So they would have been charged with murder, much as our laws are now, and thank god for that(excuse the pun).
