Its also most notable that those same silent minions of the Left are saying virtually nothing about the outrages being done in the name of Allah in the northern region of Iraq There will come a time when the USA will have to start using its air power and then the Left will be loudly denouncing them for doing so. But its all so sadly typical of an ideology that can no longer even tell the difference between being principled and being a “useful idiot” sadly if they were ever self aware enough to know the difference they would probably have to abandon their stupid leftist ideology as well.
Cheers Comrade Yale
BIGOTS: A very Aussie trait, just ask the Aborigines.
Sadly you never disappoint me when it comes to your Anti-Semitic leanings Richard
When I was at school there’d often be groups of dickheads boarding buses and trains and abusing any “wogs” or dark people on board. Threatening them. Even belting them up for just being a “wog” or a dark person. Then in the 80s I witnessed first hand a brutal and unprovoked race-based attack on some young Vietnamese people on a Melbourne beach. I called the cops. It made the news. So nothing much has changed, it seems, except now you and Yale are somehow using this incident to make political points against those who don’t agree with abolishing the Racial Discrimination Act. That’s a strange position to take.
Iain’s also saying:
What have the leftards got to say about that? Why all the selective indignation?
Ray’s comment:
The majority of the population voted to remove this vile, totalitarian piece of Keating legislation. Unfortunately Tony Abbott has cowtowed to the Muslim 2% minority. Spineless.
Ray reckoned:
Hyperbole much? Or should that be hyperbowl?
and just for a laugh..
MEMO TO GD: Imagine if this was a bus full of Aborigine or Muslim children, the ghoulish media and GD would be speechless. Now as MIKE would say F##K OFF.
Had a bit of a rant last night did you, GD? Still unhappy living in Western Sydney among the “Islamists”?
I’m not a “leftard” and I can’t speak on behalf of everyone that is not occupying your same extreme right-wing space, GD, but I’ll give it a go: Iraq is imploding. What did you expect would happen when any semblance of a structured society was blown to the shithouse? They have reverted back to their tribal insticts and are using this void to exploit their (very minor) religious differences to go berserk and take control. We have discussed this before; it is not the religion that they’re really fighting over – they are just fighting and killing because they can.
No they didn’t – that’s crap. The Racial Vilification Act was not an election issue – well, not in the minds of probably about 98% of the population.
Just calling it that doesn’t make it so. Where were you in the 50s & 60s? On what part of the Oz continent were you growing up that didn’t see racial tension and racial abuse against the “wogs”? Oh, that’s right … Far North Queensland. I guess even the “wogs” wouldn’t go there.
98%? how do you know that? Liberal voters were well aware of it. I’d have a much better idea of conservative voters’ views than you Ray: a rusted on, Labor left wing, union supporting, muslim apologist.
Think about it.
Wrong again, Ray. NQ had a far larger population of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders than most other states. As I’ve said before I lived around the block from several Aboriginal families. For a couple of years at school they were my best mates and best antagonists, as only best mates can be when you’re ten years of age. Wogs? You’ve got to be joking. All my classes had more Italians and Greeks than Abos. In the 60s in Townsville it was multi-culti heaven. Lots of schoolyard taunts, back and forth, but general goodwill. Of course everything evened out on the footy or cricket field. Even the hockey teams sorted out the players from the wannabes and cowards. I was a coward. I thought I’d mention that, as I know how much you respect the game of hockey.
There were taunts but never about racism, more likely about being fat or stupid or ugly or whatever kids could think of to be cruel. Racism? Sure, a kid would be called a wog. but racism, hate? Bullshit.
We sat in 35+ pupil classrooms in 30+ degrees heat and everybody sweated and stank the same as everybody else. A bit hard to be elitist or racist when the sweat is dripping off you after a hot lunch hour collecting the paper and scrap bins. Once a fortnight that was each class’ civic duty.
OH&S would have a field day with that these days.
“Had a bit of a rant last night did you, GD? More like a wet-dream—-dreaming of those music molls, he dipped the wick into.
Richard I’ve seen a picture of your wife, so maybe you should think twice before you knock GD on those terms…. 😉
Well Qld was alawys behind the likes of Melbourne & Sydney and I don’t expect the same urban pressures would exist in what is a relatively small place like Townsville. But in the major capitals I can tell you it was like a war zone. “Wog Wars” we called it.
Ray
in terms of accepting communal diversity we were clearly way ahead of you southerners because NOT having “wog wars” is actually a good thing.
Nah, I just think you didn’t have as many up there, Iain. After all, where do you think they mainly got off the boats that brought them here? Hint: It was not in Brisbane. Not surprisingly, the European immigrants arriving post WWII didn’t actually venture all that far from their point of disembarkation. About as far as they could walk in a lot of cases.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the anti-“wogs & dagos” era of the 50s & 60s showed us Victorians in a good or bad light. It’s just that it’s the inevitable initial back lash against ‘people who look different’. Much like you & GD are doing with ME immigrants today. As I said, nothing much has changed.
Sorry, my mistake, GD. The opinion polling showed that 88% of people believed that sect 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act should not be changed. So I don’t know how you can say a majority of Australians voted for the change at the last election.
Of course, you didn’t put up a link to support your outrageous claim so neither did I – but mine exists, yours doesn’t.
Ray
With respect Ray that’s rubbish, You forget that I was one of the post war migrants, you also don’t seem to realize just how many “wogs”took up pursuits like farming sugar in north Queensland, further we have just done the multicultural thing better up here than you lot do down south, which I think to some extent is because we don’t have the same instinct for tribalism that is so evident in the footy culture of your own state.
The difference is though Ray that neither”Wogs or Dagos” ever took to killing in the name of their god.You see I don’t see any evidence of strife from immigrants from the middle east when they are not Muslims frankly I recon if we are to accept any from Iraq it should be those poor sods on that mountain rather than any follower of Allah
Iain, We have had more trouble in Australia from immigrants arriving from Europe and England. Heaps more.
Really Ray?

Well where are the drive-by shootings by Italians or Greeks and where is the twitter postings of a grinning wog holding up two severed heads?
Iain, I said “We have had more trouble in Australia from immigrants arriving from Europe and England”. An immigrant commiting atrocities in Syria is not the same thing.
Anyway,
Are you kidding me? You don’t think the Italian Mafia has shot, murdered and butchered anyone – on Australian soil? Look, I’m sure that if I really tried I could dig up quite a few grizzly examples of immigrants from Europe & England commiting equally (if not worse) vile crimes on Australian soil than the one you cite above. Come on, think about it, we’ve had some real sickos over here too.
My point remains, Iain. We have had far worse problems from European & English migrants than we have had from immigrants from muslim countries. Yet you’re demonising ME immigrants based on the actions of a few (overseas) while ignoring the atrocities and crimes of other immigrants committed in Australia. Killing Australians. Setting up organised crime etc.
Here’s one of your Ten Pounders. Iain:
John Wayne Glover ~ ‘The Granny Killer’
Charming type, eh? Why did we ever let the English in?
Yep he’s a bad egg Ray but then I think this is woprse despite a lack of fatalities:
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/07/13/1026185124700.html
I don’t know if that’s “worse” than brutally murdering 6 eldery women, Iain, but both examples go to prove there are bad elements in ALL immigrants.
Which was my point exactly.
Your point is …………….. what?
