EliteOne: I hardly think so there are some question they would have to answer first.
Why did Jewish diplomats get expelled from England? Why did they send missiles on their own people in the 90’s and tried to blame Palestine?
Why are Indians treating Fijians as 2’nd class citizens in their own country?
Why there are no human rights in China? & why haven’t Japes yet given an apology to us for the war atrocities of the worse kind ?
But nevermind we will always be blamed asking for nothing more then respect.

People are individuals and can't be judged on the overall perception of their country/politics/religion etc. This is precisely the attitude that Muslims the world over have to contend with.
This is True. Very True. But thats judging an individual. That is a specific. But if they are a complete stranger how many walls will you immediately erect to protect yourself if they walked over to your coffe table and said hello. Those walls are only defensive and may be in place for only a few seconds. But they will be erected; And they are erected through life experience, Information absorbed from Media and friends, From how they are dressed, And maybe even their looks. This is all caused from preconceptions. Preconceptions are due to ignorance. Ignorance is caused due to lack of knowledge. This all comes under the umbrella of Racialism.quote]
Bit confused here .. I made a statement about people being individuals and not being judged using preconceived ideas and you're saying this is judging the individual
I'm wondering if your views are based on actual experience or ones that you have formed through musings and reading.
My work brings me into contact with people from all over the world, both visitors to this country and those that have become citizens and regard themselves (rightly) as Australians.
I couldn't care less about their colour, race or religion and quite frankly, take offence to your assumption that "everyone" forms their views through press-related articles and peer pressure.
The thing I enjoy most about travelling is meeting people who have vastly different backgrounds to mine and have always found that those people welcome us to their countries and treat us with respect; they are not only willing, but delighted to share their experiences and knowledge of their culture and are intensely interested in ours.
So please leave me out when you express your cliched views .. you are prejudging me as well.
dragondog4: If your asked a general question you have to give a generalised answer.
Its all in the way one uses the english language.
If your asked a more specific question with more specific parameters you will get a more specific answer.
hey ppl..all i want ask is that because of some , why do you generalize tht all ppl frm india are mean just like all five fingers are not equal like tht every person is different .even i dnt appreciate those who do wierd stuff but tht dsnt mean we all are like tht
There is no question... rather this ^^^ is a generalised statement.
Further this statement is directed specifically to the users of the Aus Forum .. hey ppl I take exception to my views being assumed..why do you generalize tht all ppl frm india are mean I dont ... as I said in my first post.
Its all in the way one uses the english language ... I agree, that was my point to the Original Poster, please dont generalise about my political, social, religious or racial views. Further I added that I had no idea what the specific issue was.
Shell please note how easily things get out of control.
I read a lot of attack in your last post. And I believe it is aimed at me.
And yet the posts that seem to have triggered this attack were both aimed at the Thread initiator. Or more correctly; at the wording used in the initiators original post.
I was not attacking you or pointing fingers. My tag to your post was not aimed at you but a comment in response to you about the thread itself.
I admit I did misunderstand your post that has led to here. As I did not know it referenced as directly as it did to the original post until after this last post.
I assumed a general comment made. And I was suporting your general comment made.It was never intended to be considered as directed at yourself directly,nor was it intended to be taken as a negative.
Now though I am ready to take offence. As its not the first time one of your posts seemed more directed at me instead of the thread. It maybe I'm just being over sensitive. I hope so.
I try never to write to attack individual Forum members (Failed a couple of times. But they were chauvinistic pigs). I try to write to attack ideas/Views not individuals. Sorry for any agro I may have caused you yourself.

DD please dont take my post as anything other than me attempting to clarify my position. Certainly was never meant to cause you angst, or any other such thing.
No offence was taken by myself at your post, just that I felt the need to expain where I'd been coming from, which has been solely in respect to the original comments made by the OP.
Oh well its good to have something to debate about I am sure Jimi will be pleased. Wouldent it be a boring world if everybody thought the same! thank goodness for freedom of speech.
