I dont think it has anything to do with Zara or Jen. Joe was talking about his own country, and neither Joe nor Zara can argue that with him....

You and Chill have been doing an excellent job.

I most definitely agree. Things have been running smoothly up until now.

QUOTE=zarabaxter; I'm at the top of the chain when it comes to upholding and enforcing the rules=QUOTE

I don't think that we need anyone with a Hitler like attitude running the forum. "I'm the boss," is the obvious attitude and "if you don't behave I'll close the thread." It's a bit like a group of children playing ball and when things don't go the way of the spoilt child she takes her ball and runs home spoiling the game for all the rest.

I'm surprised that Herr Baxter has not closed this thread.

1221771 2011-08-09 00:04:00 I'm surprised that Herr Baxter has not closed this thread.

I am also surprised that this thread has not been closed. The so-called rascist comments that were expressed in the Irish Joke thread are also being expressed here. It won't take long for that to be noticed and this thread to be closed. So much for the free country we thought we belonged to.

I notice that Herr Baxter said - concerning the Irish Joke thread - that if anyone reported the Irish Joke as offensive she would close it down. Nobody complained. Nobody backed her up. But as she said, she's the top of the chain so because the naughty children did not behave she decided to close the thread. If someone was offended I could understand it, but the opposite happened - no-one was offended. So it seems that Herr Baxter decided she would be offended on their behalf. Pathetic.

Sometimes power goes to peoples' heads. That certainly seems to be the case in the Irish Joke thread.

Make your comments now. This thread will most probably have a short life.

I mean where are we to get our guidance from?

1221774 2011-08-09 00:24:00 SJ is bloody good value in this forum. Quite a character, and with guite some history (and consequently some interesting insight on life, people, society).

He's getting on somewhat and has his health issues. We'll lose him through mortality eventually, and that will be too soon. Let's not lose him through other means before then.

+ 1. In a nutshell, Paul. :thumbs:

I concur......!...Anandtech.com is a lot more liberal in a couple of their forums....
I have to say I get a bit pi**ed sometimes when they mod the forum with there comment and lock it so you cant reply to their comment....
trademe is another which is going downhill....

Surely if someone is offended by the contents, THEY wont read it.....live and let live I say.....
I dont think the mag will last that long anyway!

For Terry and Marty I take no responsibility for this post either expressed or implied . I don't know the origin so am unable to acknowledge the author .

"Subject: Holland - well done

The Netherlands, where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism:

The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands . A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: "The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people . In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role . With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society . "



The letter continues: "A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens . It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands . . . "



The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants . For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law .



The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner, "it is not the government's job to integrate immigrants . " The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress . More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013 .


Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realised - maybe too late - that creating a nation of tribes will kill the nation itself .

Australia's future may well be read here . "

Hmmm, so may NZ's .

So true.

I suspect like Holland we will see it in the end and act.
