  1. FWIW, its the fault of left wing government policies that they are such a burden. If they were allowed to work, rather than relying on government handouts, everyone would be better off. Won't happen since unskilled Australian would be mad AF since they will miss out on jobs. But thats easily solved by reducing the minimum wage and bureaucracy/costs involved in employing someone so that jobs are created for these people. Problem solved :up:

    I don't neccasarily disagree with this. Think at the very least they should be offered skills training whilst in detention centres so they can work and contribute to the betterment of Australian society.

    Part of the issue with refugees in Australia is that the traditional source of employment for migrants is beginning to dry up in Australia - manufacturing, factory production line work that European and Asian migrants of the last century were employed in has started to dissapear. What's left effectively is care work - which Australia desperately needs but refugees aren't always trained enough to provide. But the employment statistics several years on for refugees is generally fairly strong - i think i read that 75% were employed after 4 years of living in the country?

     

    I guess I just dislike this boat policy etc on the grounds that I reject the notion that there is a 'queue' to enter the country or that persecuted minorities should have to wait or be punished for a method of arrival onto Australian shores. If people dieing in boats is the real issue, then why not allow individuals to seek asylum at airports - thereby crushing the role of people smugglers, increasing business for Australian airlines and forcing whoever comes to have passports / identity documents for faster processing, and reducing the amount spent on defence and border patrol having to chase them. Money saved can go towards training initiatives for refugees, housing etc in order to assist them get work. Easy done without violating international law and making Australia look like the most backward xenophobic shithole on earth.

    I also more broadly believe in the right of human beings to migrate...as they have done for thousands of years to places that are more habitable.

    Fuck Kevin Rudd and his bizzarre lurch to the right against refugees arriving by boat. Fucking hypocrite who once lambasted the pacific solution for its lack of humanity; PNG for their human rights records. Would prefer a consistently anti-boat people government than a poser like him.

    Will vote for greens and probs preference Liberal above Labor, but everyone fucking sucks.  Goddamn.

     

    Why are Labor voters so racist towards PNG that they consider it to be inferior to Australia ?  

     

     

    :droy:

  4. this club. fark

    Seriously? Fuck guys just let the club go about its business of signing players it deems worthy and judge them by their actions on the field and contributions to the clubs standing.

    Until then give them a chance ffs.

  5. And still no one would like to take my bet. Put your money where your cheap mouths are.

     

    I know you from the internet, no way in hell i'd ever get my winnings ;)

     

     

    ASADA's statement to Fox Footy stated: ''ASADA has not advised any party that AOD-9604 is permitted in sport. ASADA correctly advised ACC that AOD-9604 was not prohibited under S.2 of the WADA prohibited list, however made no reference to its status under S.0. There is no difference between the substances WADA and ASADA consider prohibited.''

    WADA has consistently stated AOD-9604 was illegal from January 2011, with Essendon captain Jobe Watson admitting he believed he took the substance.

    Even if ASADA exonerates or fails to prosecute Essendon players, WADA could come over the top with an appeal.

    That to me sounds like a fairly strong condemnation of the prospect of Essendon players getting off scot free.

    I know we don't need a CB

    I think we could use one more For injury cover yes, but let's say we were to get Kisnorbo, it would mean 2 of Vrankovic, PG, Wielart & Kisborbo don't play as this PG @ DM myth will never come true. Why not?

    As he didn't play there the whole season even though it was our weakest position. And it's not like we didn't have cover at CB.

    Anyone who continues to put PG as a DM in their predicted formations etc. is a bit lost IMO.

     

     

    Plus he played really well as a CB, no point in moving him further up the park. IIRC he wasn't the best at playing balls out of defence either so he wouldnt seem to be the best DM anyway.

  7. Support the game before you support your team... If no one likes it then go join the Nth Qld Furry supporters who didn't want to help Gold Coast! I think they are now watching rugby!

     

    This is probably the dumbest thing ever posted on this forum since Markn. I think everyone should just take a moment with this one.

  8. Can anyone else see the midfield of Ball, Beams, Pendlebury and Swan becoming one of the best of all time? Obviously there are people on here who have followed footy longer than I possibly could have and may know better, but you're blind if you didn't see how awesome it was to have all our guns together in the midfield last night.

    lol u serious?

     

    Never really been pissed off with fox sports, but this is fucked. You wouldn't know north melbourne were playing, let alone winning listening to these  commentators. actually rediculous how much they're supporting Brisbane. fuck off alistair lynch

  9. Only positive this guy would bring is Simon Hill's commentary if he scores "Apostuuuuuuuuu!" Other than that he may draw in a few gypsies who can put a curse on the opposition and read Hoffmans palm and finally unveil his secret to securing contract renewals.

     

    Gerhardt's supposed gypsy magic didn't help our season much though.

  10. Schwarzer taking a huge risk signing for Chelski, unlikely to see more than half a dozen 1st team matches throughout the season. But can't see Holger opting for anyone else.

    I guess he won't really be getting gametime, but surely training with some of the better strikers in the world would be of some benefit to him? Might keep him in better condition for the world cup as well...

  11. And even as a year 12 politics student I understand that if being a good international citizen comes at a cost of achieving national interest, it simply isn't worth doing. Unless being a good international citizen IS a national interest, as seen by the ALP.

     

    Kevin Rudd prioritized it as national interest, but at the same time encouraged the USA to keep its Nuclear Weapons etc. Such an inconsistent farce of a foreign policy with that bloke.

  12.  

    We did it before very successfully. We only turned back a handful of boats last time and stopped coming all together. They got the fucking picture very quickly and didnt bother anymore. Why we even changed the practice in the first place is mind rape.

    maybe because the ALP wanted to be a 'good international citizen' and comply with International Law

     

     

    International Law though..  such a :droy:

  13. Although some very valid points in the article. As a whole it is incredible biased, one sided and narrow minded.

     

    Onesided and narrow minded based on what, it's presentation of the truth?

    I guess the truth is quite one-sided hey.
