    Refugees, Migrants and the fear of the un-"Australian"

    lolsmith - despite your tone appearing somewhat disagreeing i believe we are presenting roughly the same argument.

    Refugees, Migrants and the fear of the un-"Australian"

    I'm surprised nobody has already started this thread before me given that this is such a current and delicate issue in modern politics. Before i say anything though i request that people refrain from making racist, offensive or discriminatory statements. With the PM's decision to bring Asian...

    Do you believe in God?

    Re: Do you believe is God? "Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save face? He didn't ask for your opinion. He didn't want it. Why argue with him? You can't win an argument, because if you lose, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it. Why...
