    Meanwhile we put up with not only having to fork out dole and support but to listen to the protests against "the west" (presumably us aswell). Really if they have a problem or don't like it or us why don't they f*ck off home? They would clearly be more comfortable?

    DEY TUK URR DOLE!!!:mad:

    Ok, people seem to be picking up on the "Muslims are all horribly violent, one of them attacked me", but note: ONE attacked him. Out of every muslim he's every provoked in that way, only one got violent.

    So conduct an experiment, take a bus or train in Dublin, give the finger to everyone. Will you get physically attacked?
    If so, will you say that all Dubliners are violent and will attack anyone on a whim? Or are some people just pricks, regardless of race / religion?
    To be fair, I think most people disagree with the sentiment of the initial post. An excellent experiment to the ones who DO hold the "Muslims are horribly violent" opinion though.

    You see in the UK they won't get thrown in prison for expressing an opinion. An opinion no one apart from The Daily Mail will actually take seriously. Christian groups protest abortion, and I find this even more unpleasant.


    I don't mean to belittle your opinion but what age are you? And what area do you go to school in? As has already been highlighted, learning about human rights isn't exactly a bad thing.


    Nice.

    Also I reckon you're exaggerating or you were actually being racist. I base this on your general tone.

    how the hell is saying brown bread racist!:mad:

    Maybe it's a racist term or something in some cultures?

    It isn't. But I don't believe you. So I think either one of these things happened: You're making up the entire story to paint the Muslim kid in a bad light, or you didn't just say "brown bread" and actually made a racist comment.

    If you can't believe you lack credibility, read your former post, contemplate it, then reassess.

    They as in.. People? They sure do.

    You just put a racist/sectarianist (I dunno which angle you're going for) statement in your "I'm not racist but..." defence. Seriously? Why are you even attempting to flail around in this argument? I suppose that on an Internet forum you can't prove your innocence, and I can't prove you said something racist, so this is a pointless exchange.

    However you blatantly have an unpleasant attitude towards Muslims, so the Muslim girl in your school probably picked up on that when you said something like "...Your lot always lie... We have to change words to accomodate YOU... I'm enjoying my brown bread sandwich."

    That's an amazing assumption to make, based on the actings of one girl who ran home crying. :)

    Your post doesn't add up to be honest. You're streching... Stop.

    WTF?!

    What are you even talking about? I think you should just wander off and pretend you've gone offline.

    Edit: Didn't see your post where you decided to do just that (although for future reference, it works better if you don't actually declare that you're storming off).

    Who's "they"? Muslims? I thought the "baa baa black sheep" thing, which was just rubbished anyway as far as I know, was brought in by overly right-on whites?

    Also to show a muslim the sole of your shoe is an insult to them.

    It's not against the law to sit as you want in Australia, and i don't see why I should change to accomodate a religin that I don't give a damn about.

    They want to come to Australia, let the abide by our culture

    The stuff in the media that you are referring to is hardly on par with the revolt against apartheid.

    The stuff against Apartheid, was a popular grass roots movement, and the media picked up on it eventually.

    Still, there is a ton of condemnation of the ME, all over the news all the time. I see stuff about Iran every other day, and during the protests in Iran, there was lot of coverage as well. Any time the Iranian President says something stupid, its front page news.

    Before the Iraq war, I heard a ton of stuff about them as well, that easily matched the stuff about Apartheid South Africa, except of course, a lot of the stuff about Iraq were total lies, that the media peddled. I simply disagree, the ME is featured plenty in the news.

    As that is precisely the reason I gave further up the thread as to why I feel Governments are not as vocal about the executions and general barbaric treatment of people in Islamic countries.

    I was talking more generally at that point. **EDIT** Just to add, i do agree with you in this regard, and should have been clearer, that I was talking in general term at point.**END EDIT**

    I'll sit on a train in Australia as comfortably as I want to.

    It's just a factual example of how our Aussie culture has to deal with muslim who want to impose their beliefs. Many people sit with one foot over the knee of the other leg, and I'm not going to change my culture just cause some muslim is sitting opposite me.

    muslims should adapt to their new country and respect our Aussie culture, not expect Australia to change for them.



    Get a grip

    Have some manners and respect and you'll find most people get along just fine.

    muslims don't assimilate onto the community, they try to change it to their way.

    Yeh, sorry there champ but i dont agree with your actions at all, I know they stick together in a anti-assimilation way, but i hate to break it to you its no different to the way Aussies go to london and hang around together or Paddys in Sydney, if you look past the cultural differences that is.

    Although I do love it when the high and mighty Boards brigade start on about the treatment of Aboriginals in Australia, i think straight away about the treatment of members of the Traveling Community by the Irish public and think hypocrites.

    Why? I don't treat travellers badly - does simply being Irish make me a hypocrite to consider the treatment of Aboriginals poor?
    I certainly don't deem all white Australians responsible for that either, nor do I consider all Aboriginals poor little innocent victims.

    On a personal note - I don't mistreat travelers.

    Surely you see the hypocrisy in someone telling foreigners to Australia to abide by your culture - when that's the complete opposite of what settlers in Australia did to the Aborigines.

    More importantly, why would you go on holidays just to text each other?

    They look like a couple of posers.

    On the plus side however the fella will be able to point out the laws against kissing when he gets his first approaching admirer in prison.
