You won't get this one, you know. He doesn't deal in emotion. He deals only in fact.

My comment about 'expecting my hosts to kowtow to my personal needs' refers to me going through 'the agony and privation' of leaving my homeland and trying to live in an alien country with alien cultures and language'. I wouldn't do it unless I was impoverished and desperate. There are thousands of impoverished and desperate people in Australia and —I expect— in every country of the world. So I don't expect them or any sovereign nation to kowtow to an individual's needs.
Are you saying Vince and numerous friends of yours have been racially abused? Did it happen after dark in hotels? I say you have to expect drunkenness and abuse in hotels here and in most of the drinking cultures around the world. I don't believe our country's issues are worse than others.
Are you talking about playing? as in a game?
Dealing with millions of people and keeping them fed, housed and happy is not a game. In our democracy we have to feed and house the majority and keep them happy before we start fretting over the small issues and the small emotions.![]()
@Wanker:
I think you did all right until you admitted that you fucked with our heads, and acted pretty darn smug about it. If you had, instead, acted with a little more humility, you can just bet that most JUBbers would have quickly forgiven you.
One other thing: I would have found the truth about your life much more interesting than anything you dreamt up.![]()
At any rate, I personally hold no hard feelings, and do wish you good luck in your endeavors.
Who's Wanker? It's Uncle Pat now.
^ are you being silly?
What a great opportunity for people to get to know some of our posters better.
Like Grimshaw. Who has actually described a person as a 'racial porridge'. And who has now brought us his real opinion on all those 'non-whites' living alongside him in his home and native land. Thank you Grimshaw.
This thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

What wait where?
Where did Pat say this supposed racist stuff? I can't see it anywhere?

Oh! I know how you LOVE to play the judge, the jury and the prosecutor all in one—
the holier-than-thou judge, the vicious jury and the prosecutor with the BEST invective of them all!

Ah yes, having exhausted other possibilities, let's move the discussion on to race - always guaranteed to close a thread...
