[george75]

Immigration is too high

 

[JohnD]

yes, there have certainly been occasions when outpourings of foreigners have affected the countries they travel to.

For example, the ones coloured in red:

British empire should be seen through it's historical context

 

[JohnD]

I think the native people of Tasmania, for example, would disagree with you.

But they can't, because they were exterminated.

 

[george75]

it should be looked at in context

 

[JohnD]

I think it needs to be looked at in the context of the time.

Hitler, Stalin and Franco are among those who would agree.

 

[george75]

It's not a fair comparison

 

[turanafon]

You should not be holding a grudge because of the past 100 years or so and bring it up in your arguement.

 

[EFLImpudence]

it needs to be looked at in the context of that time

Women seem to disagree with that.

OK, we'll forget about Admiral Nelson's slaughter of prisoners in Naples, and General Dyer's slaughter of demonstrators in Amritsar. We'll forget about Sharpeville and Mail Lai and Srebrenica and Auschwitz and Deir Yassin and Peterloo as well.

That OK with you? Everything can be forgiven under the circumstances of the time.

Maybe, but freedom of movement for those that comply, numbers are unlimited.

Anyway, this thread is a perfect example of the divide in this country, somebody posts on here expressing their concern about immigration. I responded in a way to encourage discussion. Your posts are mostly sarcastic and encourage deepening division.

So he has gone rather than engage in sensible discussion.
I wonder why.

You wonder why ?? tis obvious R Bee, because you are nor sensible & talk ball cocks ,

 

[JohnD]

Maybe

no, not maybe.
