Sure Poly, the text you put up looks like a tirade to get people stirred up but it does nothing for me.
A couple of public holidays, if they can get them can we all have them?
Meat pies, who cares?
Singing the anthem in Arabic, most kids couldn't sing it in English anyway.

Really Poly is there something in that text that makes you feel threatened?

in them self's the changers aren't that great as you say Fed, now if we take there public holidays dose that mean we will be expected to go to and pray with them
as for the hulul meat pies, I am dead against for the way they kill the animals
and you are wright about the kids of today not being able to sing the anthem but they do recognize it when they hear it, wonder what it would sound like in some other lingo, how about Kevin Rudd singing the anthem in Cantonese.

I'm a city boy Poly so I don't know much about killing things, I did some halal googling to see what it's all about.

What I found is 2 main ways used of killing animals, in a nutshell, cut their throats, let them bleed out & chop them up or stun them and chop them up.

I also found that various sites that claimed one or the other ways was more humane so I don't know, I guess you'd have to ask the cow.

Many years ago I read somewhere that shooting with a bow & arrow was more humane than shooting with a gun and I'm guessing that excluded head shots. Apparently most animals hit with an arrow don't even know they've been hit and they just bleed out and fade into unconsciousness & die.

Here's a couple of quick links with contradicting views on it.

I have a question though, do animals have to be bled before being killed, why don't they just give them a shot like a cat or dog I wonder?

Where are you Rumpus, you're a hunter killer so educate us mate.

gee hasnst this opened a box........

well i can speak from personal experience from both sides,

a little about my history...

mums aussie

dads russian

i was born here so that makes me half russian half aussie,

but i was married to my ex-wife for 6 years and gess what... she was a muslim leb, which meant i had to convert over to islamic, now im not a relegious guy never have been never will be, when we divorced i converted bck to my original church of england, i spent 3 months in beirut and just on 2 months in tripoli with her family, the lebanese here are totally different to the 1s in lebanon.

there are good and bad in every race but its not the lebs that are the biggest problems, lets take a look at other races.. what about the asians ???? 3T mean anything to any 1 ?? id rather take on 5 lebs then 1 member f the 3 T anyday, what about the itian mafia ??? hint who owns and runs the pymont fish markets, what about the fight that almost happened 2 years ago between the 500 serbs and bosnians that almost happened on top of westfields are liverpool... never made the news ccause it was hush hush... its our government that is the biggest problems, its to soft not just on arrivals but all maters, i can go murder some 1 and be out in 7-8 years or i can go and be charged with theft and get maybe 2-3 years if i have a bad history ???? they well we need to tighten up the legal system

[hustler57]

another major concern is that half of all the major once australian owned businesses are now owned by offshore companies,,,, we are on our knees to the rest of the world

[boris]

ok here its coming,
first, islam religion, I am muslim, the first thing they taught us is, rule number one, god gave us the life and he would be the only only one who takes it back, so these guys killing everyone who is not muslim are not muslim any way because they are against the rule number one,

second, I am a migrant to this beautiful country, and I waited more than a year for my visa, and i'm a geology engineer, can speak the language, and pay more than $40k tax a year to au goverment but I waited for my turn to come.

third, I hate the people who come from other countries and try to change this country and try to make it like their original country, why did you come here if you want this country be like your original country. If you want to live here, obey the rules.

fourth, my little brother is a biologist, can speak the language, did a master degree in australia, still he needs to wait for his visa if he applies for it (but he doesnt want to because there are more people here who cant speak language then anywhere else in the world. )

Fifth, I am not a racist, actually quite the opposite but cannot stand the people taking short cuts or trying to change this country and try to make it like their original country.

This country does need more population, but only skilled ones. If you want to come this country you're more than wellcome as long you accept to be an ausie, and live in this country with its own laws. You are more than wellcome the bring your own culture, but dont forget, this is australia.

Hey Hustler, if what you say is true...

mums aussie

dads russian

i was born here so that makes me half russian half aussie,

... then that means I'm half Pommie.

I'm going outside to kill myself.

[hustler57]

yead blood line fed your half pommie,

and boris, what you said is true but sadly not every 1 thinks that way, i have found that the problem doesnt lie with the educated people it lies with the un-educated people from all backgrounds.
