When weather turns to politics.

during the Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian conflict a few years ago there were a number of asylum seekers settled in Southend.
The put Croatians down one street and Bosnians a couple of roads away.
They ended up having a gun battle in the street!

yes i agree that there is a level of shite in any population, but i'd be interested to see what sort of percentage of crime is perpetrated by immigrants (legal,illegal & asylum seekers).
An immigrant to me, is someone who isnt naturalised ie doesnt embrace the culture of the area they have moved to.
I know plenty of people of asian origin who i am proud to call my friends, however I also know others, both immigrant and 2nd/3rd generation who just want to extend their own culture over here, they definitly wouldnt pass the cricket test.

I must admit that i see the benefits of the Australian immigrantion process, if anyone is willing to go through that hardship then it must be bad where they came from and they deserve a place to call home.

I am a tolerant person, i'm not racist, neither am i homophobic or sexist, but i do enjoy a good joke/pisstake.
No matter what your views are, and peoples will differ from time to time, there is NEVER any reason to be abusive of someone else, that makes you lower than the scum you're complaining about.
If you have a point to make, then make it, but give someone else equal chance to voice their's and provide constructive critism if you think its needed.

I apologise for are English grammer, yes the school system(well just the English bit) failed me too.
