From what I have seen of Waleed has only been on ABC or SBS. The first step to understanding each other is hearing their point of view - I believe that he states that in an intelligent manner. I remember he wrote an excellent article in the SMH on the topic.

If DT readers hate him that is a pretty good reference that he may be a decent guy. The DT only provides simplistic opinions whereas human life, values etc. are a very complicated affair.

Lucky that you live in Byron Bay, if you were living in Perth you are so far left you would fall in ocean.

I was expecting you to say I would end up in the Soviet Union. Maybe Sydney and Byron are the only two places in Oz that I like to live.

Finding the comments really interesting. I haven't yet got into Stan or the like but am hearing here that this is the trend. I think there's something sad about everyone glued to their own device- everyone in the lounge room watching the tv was somehow more social. But my home is the same . I watch Fox sports, kids are in their rooms, online with their friends and my wife downloads movies etc. again, bit sad we socialise face to face less. Thought?

At mine the wife and I are actually more likely to watch things together and share shows because we can watch them anytime and our tv viewing can work around our lives. Previously we'd be less engaged with what each other were watching because you had to be ready at a set time.

Our almost two year watches ABC kids which is about the only time network tv is on

TV used to be fun, we would watch together and share conversation and emotions. Sitcoms were fun, the drama's. Reality TV has replaced fun shows like Hey Hey and I can't watch reality Tv. But there are still shows my wife and watch together and schedule our life around, like tigers games.

But I think the real change in our interaction is tablets and smart phones. Don't get me wrong I love technology, crap with it but love it. Younger kids, under 20 grew up with technology tablet and smart phones, my nieces and nephews can txt, email, brows the web quicker than I could put my shoes on and go out and play with friends (if we wore shoes) when I was a kid.

While they can't handle long conversations they are as sharp as and well versed, they are short and precise in their delivery however, not void of personality and humour.

what is suffering is the reading of books, or if they are still reading books they could be on their backsides too much. Books are necessary to learn how to use the language and to develop an appreciation of the language. All of the know how on use of technology can be learnt quickly. I prefer if children stayed well away until about end year 11 so that no other facilities suffer. The trouble is that may be behind international students and workers of the same age. As well why wreck their eyes first up. It is almost a crime how they are glued to their screens whilst the back yard, playing fields etc are deserted. Their young bodies need movement.

Agreed.
It is all about perspective. One event seen through two sets of eyes will be seen differently because of that difference in perspective. Waleed lends his unique perspective to events and he is able to articulate that perspective intelligently and in a reasoned manner - in my opinion. I see Australia as an incredibly rascist country - possibly no more or less than many other countries - I can't really comment on that because I haven't lived for long in other countries. I often catch myself pigeon-holing all Muslims together under the banner of terrorist scums that have no place here in this country. This is ridiculous of course. Bad people are bad people and good people are good people regardless of where they are from and what they belieive. Anyway - that's my view from my perspective.

I have lived in the Philippines and consider them a lot less racist than Aussies. Their "racism" or differentiating is not usually nasty. They have the Muslim problem but over there the Muslims were driven off their legitimate lands a hundred years ago with U.S.A. help when they ruled there. A worse there problem is lack of equality and opportunity - that is worse than Aussie racism as it affects everyday survival. Over there (to Stryker's delight and joy) SJWs get bulleted. Aussies (majority) belief in a fair go says lots for the country's mentality. Up to relatively recently it's generous foreign donations were extremely helpful and brought good will. Filipinos even tolerate Aussie "scum" ganging up over there without becoming racist against the country. They appreciate being able to migrate here that is a good counter.

I am still trying to work out if you are a communist, socialist or somewhere in between???

Yes TV used to be fun. However it (Free to air) has become increasingly boring and not worth watching at all.
We recently moved house. We decided not to put the TV in the lounge room but put in a side (spare) room so it wasn't a distraction to our everyday lives. If you wanted to watch you could go into the TV room and close the door. Only problem was, we discovered there was no aerial outlet in that room.
At first my missus humbugged me to re-route one of the cables into that room. Then we just got used to no TV whatever. The kids haven't complained at all.
My missus is a member of some online movie thing, so the kids get to watch a movie every weekend and I livestream Tigers games.
A mate (whose kids watch a lot of TV) told me that kids that don't watch TV perform four times better in school. Guess what? No more TV.

But on the flip side we are smarter than we have ever been. Information is at the tip of your fingers.

Waleed lends his unique perspective to events and he is able to articulate that perspective intelligently and in a reasoned manner - in my opinion.

LOL unique perspective? You can almost predict word for word what his "opinion" is on any given topic. Not one ounce of it is original thought. Not one skerrick was derived through life experience. It is 100% SJW propaganda straight from his US masters.

You describe yourself as racist and so by extension is this country and the whole world at large? What a brainwashed stance to take.

Everyone's perspective is unique, Stryker - because we have all had different experiences, different education, different environments. And it is my perspective that this is a racist country. That is not to say everyone in it is racist - not even the majority of people in it. None the less, I think there is a substantial percentage of Australians who are. You are welcome to disagree.
By the way, I don't view myself as racist either (others might) - yes I have had racist thoughts, (just as I have had 'murderous' thoughts - but I'm no murderer). I would be as happy living next door to a 'good' person of any colour or creed. My best friend of over 50 years is of an ethnic extraction. And to suggest I view the entire world at large to be racist is a ridiculous comment for you to make based on my earlier remarks.

I would've pegged a few here as massive Neighbours fans.

:wink:

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

A good mate of mine is strongly against Muslims here but loves his Muslim Pakistani doctor as the only doctor who really cares about his health.

My bro uses derogatory terms re some Asians (learnt from low class media) then goes crazy over female of same type??

I can remember the White Australia Party (whatever their name) of about 1990 having a political do and the reporter noted how many had brought their Asian wives with them.

I can understand how the ethnic landscape of Oz has changed and not all are happy with this - but surely the original inhabitants felt the same way when the POMS came here without permission in comparison to migration.

Reminds of me the Kinks song "Lola"

what are his thoughts on Jews?

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

he sends me reams of email against Muslims who took over Bankstown where he previously lived but I don't recall anything on Jews. He does send jokes about all types some of which I posted here earlier but don't concentrate on Jews. He is the typical Aussie loves a beer too many, sickies etc. but not footie??

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

You could ask J Packer, a director of Ch 10 re Jews as it is reported that he has taken Israeli residence to earn tax breaks, lives right next to the president report states.

He is that far left he makes Stalin look like Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon.
