People that come to a new country should have the right to believe in there own religions and beliefs, but need to respect the people already established in the countrys beliefs and ways.
We seemed to be changing society (in Australia anyway) to much to suit these immigrants, when realisticly it should be both of us changing to make things work!

They were called the "Red people or the "little people" or some sh!t......and yet we dont here about that because then the Government would have to shell out for all us short arses that might be related to them! (Or would ATSIC have to pay out since they may have stolen the land from the "original Aboriginals" ?? )

The Poms/Irish sailed over here and pinched the country from the Indiginous people who had occupied it for 40,000 years. Over the years a few other people rocked up from various places. After WW2 Europeans came in their droves and a lot of Anglos were horrified until they tasted Italian/French/Greek food. And when these immigrants started working in all the dodgy jobs the Anglos didn't want to do they were seen as okay. Then after the Vietnam War we had those people and Cambodians turn up looking for somewhere to live and we took them in. And they contributed, started businesness, their kids starred at university. Meanwhile the Europeans assimilated, played footy and many of them became popular household names.
What happens next?

err The Middle Eastern ones do the same at the Vietnamese have done and the Europeans did before them if given the opportunity despite redneck hysteria from the Liberal Party still hoping for another Tampa election result.

This seems about right. Once everyone realises that the apparent dangers to jobs, families and way of life are all a crock, society will move forward and be better for it.
Unfortunately the bigoted few will always remain stuck in their ways, but the majority will make sure things work out.

About 20 years ago at the footy a mate of mine (a tradie) was complaining the Vietnamese would take their jobs. I said you're safe mate, they all want to be doctors , lawyers or accountants. I must admit 20 years later I don't see too many asian tradies

You posted this 'joke' 8 days ago, after it was sent to you by a barrister friend.
I'm only just recovering from the fits of hysterical laughter after reading it the first time
