Just ignore them. Just be comforted by the fact that the silent majority are sick and tired by the thought police telling us just what we can and can`t think.

It's about inflammatory remarks which are just meant to cause strife.

I have pointed out that you can't slate an entire race for some member's shortcomings. Sounds like common decency to me - not the thought police. That type of comment - where an entire race is slated - isn't debate at all.
Ironic that you make false accusations about people doing certain things in a supposed attempt to stop the stifling of debate. Don't you think?

Have you, or others, reflected on the fact her support came from mono-cultural Ipswich, not the electorates which have really been "overrun by Asians"? Probably exclusively without stress?

something for which britishexpats is not exactly excelling.
Perhaps we need more Somalis to improve the quality of the debate generally.

Re: Somalis in Perth
If the "quality of the debate" does not improve it will be closed. Take the twaddle elsewhere and stop the snide remarks or I shall close it.
And now back to the original topic please......

I guess this thread has gone way off its original theme as they usually do ,but in years to come the somali population will speak its mind too on the matter of migration ,but as a white man with all the trappings materially of the white world ,i feel more and more that this truly is a black country ,culturally it is so far removed from my own culture .
I guess with the somalis they will find it hard ,they are black which isnt really that good in a prdominently white country ,and also they will neve r be accepted by the aboriginals as they are as culturally removed as we are [whites ].

If I'd asked about Scots/Irish or whatever I'm sure someone ( probably lots ) would have given the answer. Because I asked about Somalis it's all gone off on all sorts of tangents.

PS, Aren't generalisations, generally true, in general?
