    Is Australia racist?

    Why? In of a country with 22million+ people it's pretty much assumed there's going to be at least thousands of people who are racist. There's a % of racist people in every country. This incident means nothing for judging prevalence (e.g. "most racist") because of sample size. There's plenty of...

    Do different religions have different tolerance levels?

    It isn't really controversial to say that basketball players are taller on average than people who don't play basketball, but it seems that if you say that different religions are (on average) worse/more violent/less tolerant than other religions, people don't like it. Look at something that...

    Is Australia racist?

    A realistic definition would probably be limited to something about discrimination because of ancestry (race is a genetic concept), but crybaby losers have included religion and culture in it. You also don't need to discriminate/support discrimination against some group to be racist, simply...

    Do you support high levels of Immigration

    Well, you can't just go and suggest public policy changes (e.g. re immigration) based off what sounds like a guess. The general rule around the world is that majority-black places suck on every social measure, so the burden of proof should be on you to show that there are nice black places. I'm...

    Killed teen was in love, Sydney court told

    Seriously. She was beaten before, her friends and family told her to stay away - and then after he threatened to kill her, she readily let him into her apartment. There's something about jerks and bad boys that just makes girls go wild.

    Rape appeal for "cultural differences"

    Re: Rape! It's ok if you're a Muslim! The only reason we know this happened is because of the media though. I think what you actually want is for the media not to report on bad things that minorities do. Look at how women in Muslim countries don't really have a lot of power regarding sexual...

    Rape appeal for "cultural differences"

    Re: Rape! It's ok if you're a Muslim! This kind of thing makes feminists' heads explode. They believe that rape is wrong, but they also believe that non-white people are the most moral, lovely most awesome people in the whole world. So I guess this sort of contradiction is where "cultural...

    Killed teen was in love, Sydney court told

    http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2013/04/11/12/51/don-t-hit-my-daughter-mum-told-killer This brings up an interesting question: why do girls love jerks? There's plenty of evidence for it. Many girls start penpal relationships with murderers in prison. It's also hard to get girls to leave men...

    Do you support high levels of Immigration

    Maybe true. A relevant question is: what kind of immigration? Not all immigrants are created equal. Australia wasn't just built by "immigrants" - it was built by European immigrants - who, apart from East Asians, have over the years built the best countries and societies. Look at majority-black...
