I am a realist mate - pure and simple. I don't beleive in Australian utopia! What I do believe in are manners, common courtesy. I come on here for frank DISCUSSIONS not to be dictated to. That's MY point which I am also entiteld to. These onesided posters are not on here for a discussion they just want to piss everyone off.

Put yourself in our shoes if that was all you read on here before you left for Aus.

Apology accepted and I apologise back!

friends?

Anyway the poll is showing so far that most of us have actually been there.

I WOULD LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY POINT OUT THAT THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW THROUGH MY POLL.

Nothing else.

Are you serious? So if I posted on here that I thought the aboriginals were braindead, the only decent ones have left the country, that I thought that the jobs that they had were crap, the traditional way of living wasnt worth tuppence, that their culture sucked, that they were all stupid & couldnt talk about anything else except stuff like the dreamtime, their aboriginal based literature was garbage etc etc etc that you would be ok with that?????

Surely you can express an opinion, isnt it a democratic forum? I agree , being negative isnt proactive for us WANNABES but it provides a balance

A statement from Kong saying that you don't get interest on Bank Deposits in Australia, provides what sort of Balance ?

Surely You "wannabees" want the truth don't you ?
Or is this a complete waste of time ?

Anyone can say anything they like whether its true or not. ?

exactly what I said last week when everyone was saying ignore him (Kong) - dont ignore him.If he posts bull - respond and correct him -keep blowing holes in his "as it is "posts

actually, i must admit, i only read / reply to posts from people i respect or like. GENERALLY

I cant honestly say ive taken any notice of kongs or wbbs ramblings, albeit they are "shock Joks"

And Or is this a complete waste of time?

Nup otherwise i wouldnt be replying to you.

If its facts im after i try and research the info my self.

If i place a post on here surely, the idea is i get a broad spectrum of responses, and filter out the stupidity , and smilie only replies, and base the balance on evidencial content

Furthermore as i think i stated previously, in this thread, this area of expats was designed for non specific posts, relating to anything but immigration issues.

We all fall foul of posting migration issues on here, but on reflection, these idiots that post the odd, stupid post arent actually in my eyes doing anything wrong.

However if their posts are purposely misleading, or attacking another member without grounds, or sending threats via Pm's then thats surely another issue, again as stated within this thread. For the authorities to deal with.

We cannot stand in judgement and bully people en-masse into being quiet. As also sais in this thread, fuqwits are everywhere.

Where guys like urself ABC, who diligantly provide a valuable resource of information, others are quite the opposite, in undermining the whole forum.

But that surely isnt our place to control, police or extradite !??

Timber, its not about being negative or even democratic. Its about someone slating an entire nation/country/race of people & constantly lumping everyone & everything in one category ie shit. This includes the people who live here & who are happy (they must be stupid to be able to fit in with the aussies) or the ones who want to come here & think they will actually enjoy it (they must be pigshit thick as well).

As people keep saying, constructive critisism & negative posts are welcome if they are factual but thats not what Daz does. I agree with seang actually, he needs to be pulled up when he posts some of the rubbish that he does, so that people who read this board who havent been here before actually get info thats correct, not some of the garbage that he spouts.

In a way, Yes, it is.

The users here have to decide what type of content they are happy with.

I know of quite a few "ex" posters that may well still be here, providing valuable information, if it wasn't for the "crap"that keeps appearing, and is considered acceptable.

If people say it is OK to post "crap" then it will continue, and that is also OK. It is a FREE choice, but others will be free to leave it, if they don't want to read the crap. And then where will the useful information come from ?

Yet again i agree, but i will say again " its not our place to police "

Its a forum, and as i said previously, its not called DOOGOODERS annonymous, its a forum !

Forums by nature are for all to post and participate, its not a "clicky" clan .

It really boils my piss, when after this long, i still dont get invited to meets etc, but shit so what .

I have posted many replies and factual replies, and ive noticed "those in the clique" completely ignore my comments by non response.

So what i get over it.

But this area of the forum , is OPEN discussion and posts, and like it or hate it, prats will always be abound on here.

If however the forum was streamed via specifics, then that would be a diff kettle of fish.

I get tired of these pricks , putting posts on that are both negative, without fact, and are opinion and not reliably informative, but thats the idea behind this forum.


If the powers that be, feel strongly that a particular person is for example aggressive, threatening, positively mis informing, or racist in any way then they should act accordingly.

I for one get more pissed at ppl doing the posts ffs, what contribution is that !

my opinion..

People can post crap if they like.

People can argue with peoples crap to put thier crap on the table if they like.

The only thing that really should'nt be allowed is abuse/swearing and personal attacks.

Id stab a guess at the forum, specifically called IMMIGRATION.

I agree that there is a vast plethora of information on here in this particular forum, but this "area" is open !

End of, we cant argue for all standing in the home teams end of the stadium week in week out !
