I agree with what everyone is saying. We should fix up our problems, then start taking care of others.

The US one is toast.
Since the fall of the Taliban, Australia's Afghani embassy is based in Pakistan - when the situation settles down we'll probably open one again in Kabul :toung:What came first - Insanity or Society?

Great news!!! There's a Category 4 Cyclone packing winds of 260KM/h headed (almost) straight for the Port Headland Detention Centre..... my thoughts go out to those poor residents battening down, but let's hope those thugs get blown away :shoot3: :flames:What came first - Insanity or Society?

Although I don't agree with what the refugees are doing. Bitting the hand that feeds them is an act that is going to get them offside with most Australians. Australians take their freedom for granted, and I reckon all we see is these queue jumpers coming into the contry illegally. We don't stop to think why they are coming here.
Just think for a minute, these families are leaving their homes and everything they know to travel halfway around the world in hope of finding a better life (such as we take for granted), only to find themselves imprisoned in these detention camps for up to 2 years. Can you honestly imagine your dad gathering your family up to escape unliveable conditions where half your family and friends have been killed, to travel halfway around the world only to be imprisioned for this amount of time?!? If I was in their position, I reckon I'd be going crazy too! I saw a news article the other night where a young girl had lost her entire family either through fighting back home, or in the journey over here. Are you honestly going to tell someone like this to go back where she came from?
The problem is not the refugees, it 's our governments lack of knack in dealing with them properly. It would have been a lot wiser if little weasle John Howard had spent the 10's of millions of dollars he spent in increasing the patrols in developing a better way to deal with the problem.
Just my 2 cents...
