Given you are a lady, I try to avoid insults to you. I am old fashioned you see.
You seem to me to be talking like a racist but I suspect you are more intelligent than to believe all you read in the papers. Am I wrong?

chippy

Just when I thought you could'nt talk any more bollox, you go and say a thing like that! They don't give free visa's to us dreamers you know, it takes a lot of effort and determination...not something that you know too much about I'm sure.

My posts are shortened to appeal to teenagers like you. I cannot expect you to stay off your playstation for more than minutes at a time and so I keep it simple. I used to think that you were called chippy because you were a carpenter. Now I cannot believe you have the ability to cut anything except school lessons.

pommie bastard

This country also gives out just as many to refugees under a UN agreement.

Wilf

You must have got a visa under the idiot quota scheme. We need people to hold up sandwich boards here and your CV was perfect?

Interested

You call yourself a dreamer ?

What made you think I don't put in any effort or have any determination? I am willing to argue for a cause, not just jump on 'the sun' bandwagon mindlessly like you !

I doubt whether a geniune asylum seeker really has the time and the resources to make an official application. That is a luxury 'dreamers' ( your wording) like you have and should be thankful for.

Hold there the first bit of truth is creeping in on this thread regarding Brit refugees.

Oh that is how you managed to get into Australia I often wondered because it obviously wasn't due to your intellect or qualifications.

chippy

Actually, check some past postings and you will find that 'dreamer' is the word used by you and your ilk, I'm just quoting.

chippy

Ah PB, enter the village idiot. The verb gives supports my point here exactly.

Such as Chippy? I don't think that people who choose to emigrate are dreamers per se and I don't care. What i don't understand is what your argument is, you called yourself a dreamer not me!!

pommie bastard

I live here you live in a dream and its not Australia , your views are that of the simple minded.

Kiwipaul

Thats like the kettle calling the pot Black

Read and learn about Australia it may help you?

http://www.immi.gov.au/facts/60refugee.htm

Australia’s permanent immigration program has two components – Migration (non-Humanitarian) for skilled and family migrants and Humanitarian for refugees and others with humanitarian needs.

A major component of the Humanitarian program is Australia’s Offshore Resettlement Program, which assists people in humanitarian need overseas for whom resettlement in another country is the only option.

It is one element of the Australian Government's approach to assisting people affected by international humanitarian crises, which also involves the provision of aid, diplomatic initiatives and peacekeeping.

O.K. The word 'dreamer' is used as a derogatory term against us migrants (PB, for example uses this term regularly). It is meant to signify that we are hopeless fantasizers, who spend our waking hours daydreaming about life in the promised land. There, does that clear that point up for you?
