It´s time for Australians who aren't so concerned about the gross systematic government and legal sanctioned abuse of asylum seeker´s human rights, to be exposed to the international arena. It´s time that calls were made for UK to boycott Australia and the international community to boycott Australian visitors and products until legislative changes are made that stop treating asylum seekers as criminals who can be indefinitely detained behind barbed wire because they are seeking refuge in that country.

An effective boycott of Australian exports and an effective boycott to overseas visitors would force their evil government and those Australians who support these policies to rapidly reassess their attitudes towards asylum seekers.

Ex: An adult who acts like a child will be treated as a child, rather than having the respect that he deserves as an adult. Why is society like that?

Why do blacks get a special month dedicated to them. (the shortest month also). If whites got the same thing blacks would be complaining why are they like that? Why is are world unjust to whites because blacks dont want to take the oppertunitys whites take. Blacks get more goverment help then any race but chose to destroy there cities and everything else they get.

I love kids but sometimes parents act like they are oblivious to their bad behavior.

If I decided to call someone a fat slag, she wouldn't be pleased. But if I called her a black slag I'd be arrested. Surely they are both just as bad ?

Talk to people more? we walk around with are heads straight and dont want to be bothered. and when someone does say something to us we think they are strange . I think we would be happier and more friendly if people did.

I see now in many places smokers have to stand so many feet from a building to smoke. And many places have huge taxes on buying a pack of smokes. Some people I see on TV news said they were annoyed by smokers near buildings and it's unhealthy. How bout we put a huge tax on obese people buying lunch at Mcdonalds. It's unhealthy for them and helps raise the cost of insurance for us all.

I don't consider myself childish, but people think that just because the symptoms of my mental illness gets the best of me, then they think I'm acting like a child. I'm 23 years old with a college degree, & kids think that they're older than me & have no respect for me. People call me childish because they see me as vulnerable & an easy target to be taken advantage of. I don't act like a child intentionally. I mean, do you feel that if an adult acts like a child, then they should be treated like a child, or do you think he/she lost or doesn't deserve the respect of being treated as an adult?

I have a hard time getting the respect I deserve, & people treat me mean for no reason, & people feel that I alienate society away from me. I don't understand how. I'm a very nice person, I'm very sweet, kind, caring, & giving. People just want to use me like I'm a free bank or free supermarket.

I have noticed that many children are returned after the parent takes a "few" classes (parenting, anger, etc). This does not mean the abuser is completely rehabilitated. So many innocent children are killed or badly injured (physical and emotional). These children should be monitored more closely than what they are.

ok..I'm Italian and once an American asked me if it was true that Italians used to sit down for dinner together...
it sounded a silly question because it was obvious for me to sit down together, but it made me think that maybe it wasn't so for Americans...
so... what do you do?

Laws are laws even if they are not enforced all the time. They are meant to keep society at a level plane. Many cars that are illegally parked are parking against the law. That does not make it ok. They are still breaking the law. Why is that so hard for immigrants to understand?
