Well hi there, mate! How are things in Australia this fine day? I came across an article the other day that talked about how Australia is having the same kinds of problems with immigrants who refuse to assimilate into your society that we in the U.S. and countries Europe are having.
The immigration is a thorny issue here in Oz - I think that maybe Australia has bitten off more than it can chew with some of the problems that are bubbling under the surface of our society. We are a nation bulit up by immigrants and I know that when my family came here in the late 60's there was a sense of community and to assimilate into the Australian way of life. Nowadays it really is a "us and them" mentality - which is not the Australian way. It's sad...as these people just don't get it. Leave your problems back in your old country and if you feel that strongly about the problems back there; hey, there's the door...
oops, rant switch now turned off. :0)
