The British Health service is better, food cheaper, beaurocracy more friendly, children better behaved in the Uk etc. etc. You name it they will criticise it. I have asked them why they are here and if they feel that way why don't they go back. They are not friends any longer. It's that attitude that offends Australians. Why stay if it is so bad???? Very puzzling. |

The sweat from the brow of folk from Latvia to Greece,Malta to Poland and numerous countries in between contributed enormously towards this nations development, often in hard and very basic conditions,while often enduring abuse owing to their ethnic origins. |

That many huh? So I have just uncovered the very tip of a seething mass of ethnocentricity about to explode. Time to call ASIO and ensure they are appraised of the mortal danger to the nation.

Actually forget it... you've had time to look it up on Google... and I'm bored anyway. Here.. pick a name from this lot and tell us he's your Grandfather. We'll believe you.. honest. http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passeng...yalAdmiral.htm http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passeng...yalAdmiral.htm This is at odds with the family history which places him on this list: http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passeng...yalAdmiral.htm Given that the compiler of the lists can not be certain which list Solley goes on, I'm inclined to believe the family historian who visited Kent to see the records there in person. (Such visits are not considered un-Australian due to being strictly for business and no pleasure is derived therefrom). Unfortunately it scotches the possibility of his being a convict, at least a transported one. |

Yes, I suspect as much. The enthnocentric Briton who developed this site would not have known of (or considered) anything not invented in Britain.
Is it 'ethnocentric', 'enthocentric', 'entho-centric' or 'ethno-centric'? |
