How come very little word

from the Communist News Network on the race riots in aussie land???

It seems as if the Aussies are not tolerating any BS from the followers of the religion of peas.

Any country that plays full contact rugby is a force to be reckoned with.

Can you elaborate what you are implying?

Actually, I wanted to hear BB and other aussies take on it.

Bomber has already posted about it.

Where?

Hey there Rich.

I responded to Mozz about this somewhere but cant find it.

Quite frankly, it was frontpage news for 2 days and is now cooled right off. Exactly how I thought it would be. It was typcially sensationalised, as is every other minor societal debacle over here, and blown right out of proportion. I noticed too that CNN's American correspondents were way too quick to announce it as a major 'societal issue within the Australian-wide community'. Absolute codswallop!

You had two minorities - Ethnic Lebanese Australians going head-to-head with fearful, ignorant and fretful Australians of caucasian heritage - and in no way do these two groups represent any of the majority of Australians who believe in a tolerant, freedom giving society.

Not to mention that the Sunday march was fuelled by adolescent power-drinkers with more brawn than sense and as is always typical of that combo the end of the event saw blokes looking for a brawl. Their actions were inspired by the few and the outrage over here since the event has been magnanimous.

On a side note, you're right about the Rugby players - just a shame that we've lost our last 7 from 8 Tests and New Zealand beat us in the Tri-nations for the first time in decades.

Thank the Sporting Gods our football [soccer] team made it to the world cup.

Mate, government and enforcement are doing their best by the looks.

There's not a multi-cultural country on the planet that does not experience some kind of societal or racial discontentment over time.
