Unbelievable how naive some people can be.

Nothing at all unbelievable about how
rabidly bigoted so many like you are.

The City of Sanctuary looks well meaning and kind, which is good.

I suppose the truth lies somewhere between Harry's and Rod's views.

You don't even know what my view is on that,
just what my view is about Harry and his ilk.

I heard a nice definition of a "loony lefty" the other day.
A loony lefty is so "caring" he/she will keep inviting
people into the lifeboat until it sinks and they all die.

There isn't even the remotest possibility of
everyone dying in the situation being discussed.

As I said before, compassion, but with an edge. If people
start dictating what they want instead of being grateful
when offered sanctuary it may be time to throw them out.

But it makes no sense to throw them all out when only
a microscopic minority of them are doing any dictating.

Just think how you would treat someone who was staying in your
house, if they started moaning and demanding special rights.
Then extend that to a country / society or whatever.

But it makes no sense at all to be kicking out everyone who
wants to come when a microscopic minority of those who
have been allowed into your country/society dictate anything.

It makes sense to tell those who try dictating that if they
don't like the way things are done, they should reconsider
why they chose to come.

I in fact did that in the 70s with the poms that showed up
here and proclaimed that we should have the same sort
of mindless unions and socialism that they had had in
that soggy little frigid island they had chosen to leave.

One of the turks happened to show up here just as I was
eating an icecream for dessert after finishing my evening
meal. The silly kid told me that I shouldn't be holding it
in my left hand. He got a right flea in his ear and I told
him that we don't wipe our arses with our bare hands
here. He wasn't ever silly enough to try that again.
