Pauline Hanson: Australian anti-Islam senator criticised

[Drewish]

Freaking bigots hating people for their race or religion. Why can't they just discriminate based on attractiveness like the rest of us?

Be careful what you wish for !!

I discriminate on the basis of a hominid's knowledge of maths and science.

In other words, knowledge of reality...

She talks a lot of sense.

In 20 years time, it will be obvious that she was right. Most politicians want growth at any cost. Australia is no different.

Here in the news, you get sold a story that the points process ensures that Australia is only getting highly skilled migrants. I'm willing to bet that that's all bollocks.

I'm willing to bet you've got no real clue, like usual, and are just guestimating.

Where is the land of glorious peaceful multiculturalism?
The shining example that shows what a good idea it all is?

Australia.

Australia.

That's ok then. We should all get an Island somewhere out in the Pacific to take illegal immigrants, after detaining them in camps behind wire fences. It's a very good idea.

And of course, it helps to have billions of empty acres.

Facts... you need some of them. Australia is possibly the most multicultural society in the world. 20% of our population was born overseas, and 25% are second generation Australians. Our GDP per capita shits all over yours and 99.9% of the rest of the world. Terrorism is nearly non-existent here. On rankings for the most desirable country and cities to live in, we come out on close to the top every time. In terms of happiest populations, once again, we shit all over that shithole you call a cuntry. So, yes, Australia is perhaps the best example of a successful multicultural society in the world.

yeah, sure, most of your immigrnats and fist generation people come from Europe and Merca and are from cultures close to yours, especially since WWII and the general Mercanisation of the World... I notice that people from largely different cultures, like Asians, muslims, etc are damn few and not that well integrated, and let's not even touch the Aboriginal question...

[pErvinalia]

Bullshit (on the integration point).

[mistermack]

Yes, that post was complete bollocks.
And the GDP is hardly surprising, when you are digging wealth with giant machines from holes in a desert.

And of course Ozzies are up there in the happiness stakes. They're pissed most of the time.

You really do have a simple way of thinking about things. The real world is a lot different to what pops into your head.

Quite a few Asians, and have been for a long time, mostly well integrated and well accepted (except by a handful of racists).

You asked for an example of where multiculturalism works. I gave it. You replied with ROFL smileys, which is what you do when you know you have no argument.

I didn't need to add to Crumples destruction of your example. He got there first.
Does Australia have multiple cultures? I've never seen evidence for that, except among the most recent immigrants and the abbos. I have Irish ancestry from both parents. But my culture is British.
Nearly all Australian immigrants adopt the typical Australian culture within a single generation.

[pErvinalia]

Huh? Cumple hasn't posted since his OP. Get off the turps.

And Australia does have multiple coexisting cultures. Greek, Italian, Yugoslavian, South African, Vietnamese, Chinese, Lebanese, Aboriginal are the main ones, and a host of minor ones for all the other countries that are represented by cultural groups here. Keep digging.

Like I said, you are confusing ancestry with culture.
No, it was Svarty who refuted your post. Sorry Svarty, it saved me the job.
