Asylum Seekers claim to have been beaten by Navy - what do you think?

[Mrs smith]

Hi Muzza

Your off at a tangent here.  I am not suggesting we apologise for anything and yes, what happened in the past was quite acceptable back then. My point is that we have all come here uninvited as there were people here before hand and it is hypocritical to call anyone 'illegal' unless of course they have entered 'illegally'.

I was born here, there for never traveled here, didn't not have any say in weather I wanted to be born here and yet you still fail to accept anyone born here has as much right as those born here with a history of xyz years. Weather it's you or the law, don't you think that sounds raciest/supremest  ? 

And here is the thing.  People who overstay there visa's are here illegally.  Those that enter seeking asylum, as BigJules has stated, are not illegal.  Yet the media give the overstayers a free pass.  They are protected by the UN convention that we are signatures to. Thats all to easy to hide behind that card, and untill processed IMO law breakers

cheers

"All to (sic) easy to hide behind that card"...?  Oh, I see, you mean too easy to hide behind legal treaties, etc.

Thankfully for all concerned the law doesnt give a toss about "IMO", be it yours, mine or anyone elses.

In reality "IMO" is the easiest card to hide behind.  But you are perfectly entitled to believe whatever you want.

No, what I am saying is this;

If your ancestors came here AFTER the ORIGINAL inhabitants and they were not INVITED by those inhabitants then it is HYPOCRITICAL to call someone else ILLEGAL who later comes UNINVITED.

And yes, it is easy to hide behind the LAW.  You know -  the law.  That thing that democracy loves.

How is this thread still going?

It started as a simple question.... They claim to have been beaten - What do you think?

Now its gone to sh!t, and every time I log in I see more dribble.

So we just need to call them 'uninvited' then send them on their way back home!

Uninvited/illegal either works for me.

The 'invited' ones get to stay. Happy days!

The media seems to have dropped their little beat up.  Much more important thinks, like ....  no I won't say her name.....    Kevin

Lets see, the courts never get it wrong do they ?
Just saying it the way I see it.

Unless you can see the blindingly obvious difference between the way our ancestors came here and the way the asylum seekers are coming in, well it just ain't worth arguing.
Lost, please cue the "you win" to Dazzlers next post as his intelligence is clearly on the next level.
Like I said before, no hard feelings.

Agreed.

Sorry, I don't come to myswag to read members sound off about each other on their point of view on issues such as this, I come to relax.   I know where, I stand, I have ignored this thread for a few weeks now so I don't get involved.

Upon returning and viewing a few past posts can I suggest that we wind this up and those involved go either here:

http://pickeringpost.com

Or here:

http://refugeesinternational.org/blog

I read both of these to keep things in perspective as to how others view the issue.

Oh yeah, well done to all  for keeping things relatively civil.

In relation to the original question, I don't know but I will ask the BIL in a couple of weeks when he returns from service up there.  I guarantee I know what the answer is

OK, before this thread goes south.

To summarize, I think most of us think the Navy are innocent of the allegations.
Some of us are happy with more boat people arriving, some of us are not.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I think most people have expressed it. At the request of some other swaggers, let's consider that this thread has run its course.

Mods, please lock it up.
