A friend of mine from Canada came here to do his teaching degree. Teacher's college at the time in Ontario was extremely competetive and so in order for him to get a spot he had to look overseas. When he did the math he came up with Melbourne as where he would like to go to school for a couple of years. Why not live in Australia and work 20 hours per week rather than live in Northern Ontario (look up Thunder Bay, Lakehead University) and not be able to find work because you're stuck in a small town with nothing but mosquitos to keep you company?

Just too close to 'Monotony' to take anything seriously ... good value though

I can spot a non native english speaker from a mile off, they always get certain phrases slightly wrong.

But to figure out if he is a native english speaker, I'd have to read all his posts, and I really can't be arsed reading all that crap.

I think Mohogany is a bit special to be honest.

I remember posting about being worried about some trouble we were getting from Aboriginals and how I had checked with the ranger where I would stand if my dog attacked them if they got into my garden when I was not there. We had problems with them winding my dog up and yelling at him, so now he growls whenever he sees them.

Mohoganys response was 'we stole their land and their culture yet you are worried about them stealing your DVD player'

This implied that because of the stolen generation, I had absolutely no right at all to complain at anything they did to me and if they wanted to steal from my house, then hey, because of history, feel free to help yourselves to my belongings because I owe you from all the things that were done in the past and aren't I a big bad person because I would allow my dog to take your face off if you got into my property to steal from my house or attack me?

Yet the very thought of someone coming to Australia to get a better life, whether they be a skilled person from another country or genuine person fleeing from persecution in their own country, Mohogany is up in arms about it.

Let me tell you Mohogany, you are damn right that if anyone breaks into my home, I will set my dog on them - I dont give a shit where they are from and I dont feel bad if they happen to be Aboriginal/Asian/Indian/Australian/British and even yourself - whatever, they lose their rights once they get onto my property without my consent.

But you spout the biggest pile of oral diarrhoea I have ever read in my life, you judge people for complaining about a very real problem that might be going on in their life where they have first hand experience of the effects and then you spout equal shit about something you know bugger all about.

Why dont you, just for once - post something that does not involve Muslims, foreigners and asylum seekers and stop judging people on their personal situations.

Now please, go and wipe your mouth because there is shit still pouring from the corners.

...as usual, much like your love of sensationalist journalism you like to exaggerate or twist the truth.

PP NEVER talked about "setting her dogs on them". Firstly, it was one dog. Secondly, she asked whether she would get into trouble IF those kids broke into her property and consequently the dog attacked them. Hardly "setting the dogs on them" now is it?

But don't let truth and facts get in the way of your funny tirades.

Ah, so now that your made up argument about PP "setting her dogs on them" has been shown to be a load of sh!te you decide you want to move the argument onto other grounds?

Someone's holding on by the skin of their teeth here! Go back and read that post by PP and you will see that she highlighted at the start that these kids had been causing trouble ever since they moved in and a number of incidents had occured already, in which they were the perpetrators. You just assumed that she was villifying them without justification.
