All of this stuff about immigrants getting more social security than Aussies is bullshit and is becoming very annoying. The sad part is that once these emails go out, 75% of the people who read them beileve them. Remember how we all hated Greeks, Italians and those nasty Maltese back in the fifties/sixties/seventies? Now, thirty years later our daughters are married to their sons and we all love 'em and can't wait until the next Greek seafood BBQ or a big plate of Cannelone at the local Italian restaurant. Sure a number of middle eastern clowns have created a feeling of hate with their anti Aussie and anti female actions but they are a small percentage of the good Lebanese immigrants. There are a lot more good ones than Hasam el Masri out there. The Leb hoons have given their whole race a tarnished reputation that's not deserved.
Remember when we all hated those evil 'slope' boat people? Now we drive over to Cabramatta for a Vietnamese feast at one of the brilliant restaurants and go on holidays to Vietnam, Cambodia or Thailand and think nothing of enjoying a big plate od Pad Thai or Mussaman Curry at the local Thai, all the time commenting on how friendly and courteous the Thai or Vietnamese 'slopeheads' are.
Now it's the poor bastards from Sudan or Sri Lanka or some other country who are trying to find a better life for their children in a country that doesn't kill its own because they're a different religion. If past history is any indication, they'll eventually assimilate into our society and will contribute in a positive way to our great country.
I'm sorry to rant on this but I've been getting a lot of these racist chain letters lately and at first thought it would go away but like a snowball, it seems to be getting bigger as it rolls along. With Christmas coming up, wouldn't it be cool if we could all get along and stop sending on this racist bullshit. It does nothing positive for our society except breed hate.
