To be honest there is that less than 2% statistic which dont necessarily do it because they hate you but they have this stupid mentality of all aussie being that 2% racist rednecks simualr to the crunulla riot muels.. if you know what im trying to get at.Cookie182 said:Hmm i never know what side im suppose to be on- im very naive when it comes to racism. Multiculturism is there and i accpet it as many of the people i have met in my life from different backgrounds have been great.
I have an odd question and id like an honest answer. Im anglo-saxon, just ur normal Aussie surfer- love chillin down beach.
Now i uphold no pregudice towards other cultures but are there ppl living in this country that actually hate me?
Multiculturalism in this country is little more than a fallacy, and the videos prove it. We're supposedly a nation that is one big happy family, but it couldn't be further from the truth. We're not multicultural, we're barely a loose consortium of nationalities wrapped with a bow and described as being multicultural.Cookie182 said:Multiculturism is there and i accpet it as many of the people i have met in my life from different backgrounds have been great.
I am of the same opinion here. But dont forget, its only a minor minority which continuosly make pesimistic remarks about this country... Dont be fooled with the medias continues.. blown out of proportion remarks on headlines etc making it as if all people of middle eastern appearance are a threat and dislike Australia. The far majority love this country and actually dislike there original homeland due to the instability. And for the ones who do dislike this country,Sparcod said:Australia is beautiful country. I really don't mind what your skin colour or religion is. So if these guys don't like Australia- why are they still here?
EDIT: Stupid of me to even say that, sorry!ObjectsInSpace said:OK, here's a hypothetical. If you're reading this, 16-year-old wannabees, please answer. Something both legibile and sensible would be appreciated.
Right, so we give you what you want. Australia is now known as New Lebanon. That's right, we're "under new management" as you so bluntly put it. You want the country, you get it. And everything that goes with it.
Let's start with the basics: what are you going to do about the Victorian bushfires? They are, after all, threatening the people of New Lebanon.
And then, how about that drought? Got a plan for that? I mean, if you can't feed the population, they ain't goona be happy ...
Petrol prices probably demand your attentnion as well. You're the ones running the country, so you ge tto deal with that, too.
Inflation and unemployment probably need some looking-after as well. Economies don't just run themselves (probably the only thing I learned in Economics).
The Japanese are busy whaling in the South Pacific and we're one of the bigger names on the list of countries protesting against it.
And then you'll need a new advertising campaign. Sorry, boys, but you can't have Lara Bingle, especially in that bikini. Isn't that against your religion or something?
So, tell me, what do you have that makes you think you'd be better off running the country than the other people here? I just get so curious!
Thanks for playing; this is Doctor House sigining off.

Don't try to deter people from the sad fact that the people who did this were lebanese. Trying to cover yourself up won't do shit, lebanese in my school all lie whenever they get caught doing something wrong, and that's given them a reputation as dishonest. Don't let it be the same to you.

yep they are, I could have beaten them both on the spot but I wasnt 100% sure if it was them or they were just trying to be cool and hardcore. Plus I couldnt be bothered kickin their asses - not worth it.scarybunny said:I agree with ObjectsInSpace
They're just stupid teenage boys who think being racist is hardcore. You'll find a bunch of these people in every nationality/race. And generally they grow out of it. It's just sad that perfectly nice lebanese people may get painted with the same brush.
S1MO you spent so much time trying to be as objective as possible and yes youve had some great input... AND now youve just spoilt it all.S1M0 said:They'll probably go:
"Its all the will of allah!"
and that'll be that.
When did i say that?Jordan.J said:Umm..... It was you who bought the Egyptians into it.
Then you said Christian = Good and Muslim = Bad.
S1M0 said:When did i say that?
and hereS1M0 said:Don't bring us down to your level. There's a difference between egyptians and lebanese. The main one is that we assimilate and integrate very well, you guys end up in the paper for all the harm you're doing to australia
S1M0 said:Perhaps they were muslim? Cause thats the only reason why an egyptian would ever act like what i'm seeing.
ObjectsInSpace said:Sorry, boys, but you can't have Lara Bingle, especially in that bikini. Isn't that against your religion or something?
They don't have home-country, in lebanon they are considered too westernised, in australia they are considered an outcast as a result of their outrageous behaviour.Sparcod[/quote said:Australia is beautiful country.

What a Hypocrite. He just asked someone to avoid this cultural issue and then tried to play down this serious issue as childish issue.54247 said:LOL i cant believe your taking them that seriously... There just young heroes who currently think their invincible.. Nothing more or less.
Give me a few minutes on paint and ill put together an Australian landscape with i dont know anything... a swaztika, communism, zionism, animal kingdom.... anything you will and put ontop of that Under New Management!
YourMaking such a huge deal and putting so much thought into a stupid and childish issue.
Who said I was taking them seriously? You might have noticed I was ripping the shit out of them by pointing out theat they couldn't actually do anything even if their fantasies came true.54247 said:LOL i cant believe your taking them that seriously...
