		<description>Thank you for taking the time to make a post Mr Wateva.  Appreciate it.

Of course I&#039;m being melodramatic, I&#039;m summing up in true fashion how these people are viewed by those in mainstream politics who look to score political points against those god awful &#039;boat people&#039; &#039;flooding&#039; our shores.

And yes, I am trying to get people to support my view.  If I wasn&#039;t, I wouldn&#039;t be operating this blog.

&lt;blockquote&gt;You may want to ignore our current economic situation...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Which is looking good, according to our government which has made such an effort to highlight this fact, everywhere.

&lt;blockquote&gt;...and foolishly accept more refugees while there are many people who do not live in million dollar homes like you so enviously presume, that are out of work.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So we&#039;re playing the standard, &#039;immigrants are taking our jobs&#039; card?  Something about that doesn&#039;t quite fly if we are to believe our political betters that our economy is doing so damned well -- not to mention that many immigrants often end up performing the jobs that we citizens refuse to do or they fill gaps in areas with great demand and not enough supply.

And please, I don&#039;t need you to point out to me the struggles people have in their everyday lives considering I live in some of the lowest-income areas of my state.  The fact remains that the refugees arriving on our shores have fled their own personal hell, and contrary to popular opinion migration is natural.  Humans have been doing it for thousands of years and it is only a recent development that has seen the introduction of closed borders to control human movement.  And I&#039;m sorry if you dislike the fact that I have a problem with the idea of locking people away in Indonesia or, the Pacific Solution under Howard as an appropriate way to deal with people who have fled their own personal hell.

So, I&#039;m sorry if &#039;my kind&#039; disagrees with injustice and refuses to accept the conventional excuses for said injustice fed to us by &#039;your kind&#039;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;You’re just another liberal...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Eh, no.  I&#039;m an Anarchist.  Certainly I come to similar conclusions as a Liberal, but I&#039;m not Liberal.

&lt;blockquote&gt;...still allows you the freedom of speech to express your biased opinion without REAL thought for the potential consequences.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My nation does not allow freedom of speech.  But thank you for sharing.</description>

		<description>&quot;Sub-human&quot;? No one is referring to them as such. You&#039;re just being melodramatic and drumming up support for YOUR view. You may want to ignore our current  economic situation and foolishly accept more refugees while there are many people who do not live in million dollar homes like you so enviously presume, that are out of work. 

Ah, I&#039;m not going to waste my time. Your kind can cry and take up protests as much as you like to drum up support for your far fetched ideals but none of us can really have a say in what goes on on a national or international level. 

You&#039;re just another liberal idealistic zombie. Lucky for you our nation, most of the world, still allows you the freedom of speech to express your biased opinion without REAL thought for the potential consequences.</description>

		<description>I think what needs to be recognised though is that the political climate in Greece is real.  This is what the Anarchists are confronted with, particularly the complacency of the powers that be.  Nationalists and thugs are permitted to assault foreigners by the police and are even encouraged (there was photographic evidence of Golden Dawn members among the ranks of police, attacking protesters and the end of last year).  It ain&#039;t no game.</description>

		<description>Shooting them would not be enough for those scum. They truly should be hung drawn and quartered. Death most painful would be immensely desirable for such; perhaps crucifixion, extremely painful apparently.

I hope that young woman recovers enough to have the scum prosecuted and put to death in either manner as described above.</description>
