Ah - I think I have it working - hope I haven't stuffed up the tone of the thread.
Sorry - I didn't mean it to be a personal attack on your own views or open mindedness.
Simply an overall perspective that people tend to judge on their own experience, which is of course the natural thing to do, but does look at things from one side only.
I personally cannot understand why some of these people come to Oz to escape the persecution, crime, poverty and grief in their own countries and then continue the same stuff here.
I mean they have a chance to live a pretty good life if they want it.
Got me beat.
I can only buttume it is in their nature, that they don't want to change, or that they simply don't give a crap.
All in all, it show a great lack of respect for Australia and its people, who after all did take them in - and it makes me wonder if immigration is a thing that Australia needs at this time of world trouble and religious fundamentalism.
