I'm doing Goldman, Havel and Keating. They are linked by their common nationalism (even Goldman states she loves America); and contrasted by their different views of what that nationalism entails. Other good links, though: Feminism -Aung San Suu Kyi -Atwood - (to a lesser extent) Goldman...

Yeah, I reckon I could tie them in with a little work... but do we have to? Or are we meant to?

OK, I am so confused. Do/es our essay key points/thesis have to be based on these points from the syllabus? "They analyse portrayals of the powerful, consider how the depiction of particular relationships provides insight into the nature of politics and consider the extent to which power...

:D

What I am getting at is that we don't have some sort of moral highground to demand that people here speak our language. Sure, it makes it a lot easier for them, probably makes them more tolerant and open-minded, and I am sure it does wonders for the practicalities in life, but if they don't want...

Yeah - just like the settlers did when they moved here. Do you know any aboriginal languages? Have you even tried? :rolleyes:

I think it would be much more effective if immigrants were required to go through a short course introducing them to the Australian legal system. That way, they would get an introduction to the country's values (after all, only those that are enshrined into law are ones that the majority of the...

Yeah - how would bringing in young people help to solve our ageing population? I can't think. I have to go to work now, so don't think I have stopped talking because you people had one single competent argument; just that I have more important things to do the argue with stupid people. It's...

[/I]I have no idea what you are trying to say... I think you are trying to be sarcastic? Well, you have actually pretty much said the truth; our opinion pollstering government has contradictory policies, because if it opened immigration it would have a conservative revolt. WTF? Newsflash...

Yeah - the way to stop people getting killed is to kill them. True, but kind of counter-productive, don't you think? Possible we could encourage peaceful revolutions, we could educate, we can give aid, we can avoid the sort odf closemindedness that makes people result to violence (i.e. some...

That has also been answered - it is obvious. We would love to fix every problem in the world; but we can't. What we can do is fit more refugees into our country. It's not rocket science. ... I don't think you can claim a stupid question was rhetorical when it has already answered.

What system? You mean, Australia? They are just people, and I can assure you, we can handle - no, our economy needs - more labourers. Why do you think the dickwits in Can berra are offering a couple of grand to pop the babies out? Saying the system can't handle more people is ridiculous.

You'll have to explain that one for me. I am giving peopel free cars because I want to let them in our country? Well, if you has been paying attention at all, you would see I have already answered this question. I don't particularly want to waste my time repeating myself, so use some...

OK, now you are just being ridiculous. We're not pulling them out - they are begging to be let in our country. There's absolutely no need to break up families - the only reason it happens is because the current system has such low quotas. I obviously agree with the argument we should look after...

Well said. Also: jb_nc, you crack me up.

Generator - thanks... I don't really know much about homelessness. But what you said just proved my point - that the problems we have aren't an issue of lack of money, they are deep-seated social difficulties (i.e. drug addicts and all the other reasons the article states). katie_tully brought...

And I get in trouble for going off-topic :rolleyes: I don't believe that is the problem at all. I believe the problem is people who THINK that is MORE of a problem than the circumstances that they are escaping.

I was talking about the argument that katie_tully was refuting with her point. I get the point of the article, people, but obviously we have broadened the focus of our argument a long time ago...

Thankyou for your valid contribution to this argument. Clearly, I am the stupid one. Actually, iamsickofyear12 is the one who took us off topic: And it was such bullshit I had to react. Secondly, mounting an argument FOR broadening of immigration clearly IS relevant to this topic, which is...

Oh, I forgot to mention: StumbleUpon, YouTube, and Lux (computer version of Risk)
