To Pitsilos and his question as to what i would say if asked about Turkish Arms not allowingpeople back to the ancestral lands ?I would not say anything.I would give the students the opputuniy to lisen to a couple of guest speakers from either side.I would allow the students to debate acting as different groups,eg Turks,Lefties etc etc.
yes and thats gonna cut it. you longing for your ancestral lands and your kid is gonna find out from a couple of speakers. we don't need speakers ghandi, we got plenty, what we do need is community actions
i would agree with your argument, if it was concerning greece and turkey. but when you have a country under occupation and you being the son/ daughter of a refugee, from both sides, that experienced hardships, not allowed to go to your ancestral lands, etc, its pretty hard to stay neutral. how do you expain to your son/daughter that 32 years you got kicked out and never to return. how as a parent that is a victim in all this, take a step back and have your rights trampled justifiable by a debate at school?. ain't you gonna come home and ask questions? and what do you think answers the would be?
i would say first agree on a solution and then rewrite history
ghandi you obviously were absent when sitcoms, such "kingswood country" back in the mid seventies, and "acropolis now", in the mid eighties. ever being to a comedy festival ghandi? ever watch a graham kennedy show? remember the cecil character?and the list goes on and on.
well as a greek cypriot, i found "acropolis now" one hell of a show. making fun of greeks. how could you not love effie.
ever heard guido hatzis on triple m ghandi, at prime time?
the list goes on and on. i can provide as many as you want ghandi
what i see is you getting offended at the word wog, but you have no problem watching and listening to the cricket while the commentators refer to the english as poms. now why is that?
ghandi, were you born in australia? or how many years have you spend down under. and where did you live? which city and suburb? i bet you drink your coffee with your little pinky sticking out, don't you?
Its more laughing at others then laughing at oneself.This picture of utopian Multi-culturalism where racism is now a virtue that others dont have is wrong.Race riots,Koories die 15-20 years earlier then the rest of Aus,Muslim bashing propanda and the treatment of Refugees.If they stopped laughing at themselves then the part that is not fun may have more of an effect
who said anything about laughing at riots and the ill treatment of refugees? who is laughing at the misfortunes of others? curry boy are you now putting words to my mouth.
as far as muslim propaganda, well you can only blame the mufti for all this shit. he is the one that said women in australia are like uncovered meat, to justify rape, mind you. and then he goes on and says the muslims have more right in being in australia because they paid to get here. I mean what do you want ghandi? you call this muslim bashing? what about the one that says our judicial system is unfair to muslims. i suppose you agree wit this one, right. challenging the australian laws now are we? should we also split up auastralia? and get a couple of speakers to explain it to us?
lets look at the incident in sydney for a minute. what gave the muslim thugs the right to go to the beach, abuse and beat up the life guard. have you seen how they justify it the news? I am not one for violence, but some people just got pissed off.
how about on australia day, in australia, in sydney the australian flag was banned for flying because of fear it might offend some people. what the fuck, australia day in australia you can't fly the flag. shall we also call a couple of speakers to explain this to us? mind you i am all for a new flag, but i will not impose my will on the rest or go on hooligan spree.
and ghandi, can you explain to me why my kit kat has to be blessed by allah? why is everything i buy has to be blessed by allah. have we ever insisted on a muslim to show tolerance towards christianity as we show to them? I am not religious ghandi, and i will enjoy my kit kat, blessed or not blessed, but this is taking things to the max. some people are not happy. shouldn't we concider and respect their views? or you have to be a muslim to get your views respected. shall we also call a couple of speakers to again explain it to us, backwards people?
again you might have lived in australia but really you have no clue as to how the country works and ticks. ever got your fingernails dirty ghandi? i very much doubt it.
ps. since you used the word nips, have you actually got a clue what it means? did you know that Japan used to be called nippon, hence nips, short for japanese. now tell again how i am taking away elements of there humanity? do you have any understanding of the australian culture? or have you been stereotyped by your parents to see us all skips as backwards savages on a walk about expedition?
