Learner: well, afghans language is not very good, but he is right in many ways. Australians can only be angry and retaliate that statement with abstract language and sentimental ways, but that will not change the fact that they, along with americans and south africans are all immigrants. Also, poles are immigrants in many parts of the world, and would definately loved to be seen and treated equally and with respect. So would any person want, regardless of what color/race or nation they come from. Denying this or ignoring it would be very foolish i think. Why is that relevant? If your family has lived in an area for 150-200 years and have contributed to making it a fantastic place, then they are the real "Australians/American" etc. The aborigines of Australia were here first, the Indian in America were the first there, that does not however lessen the fact that the country as it is now known was build by the settlers and those that come after then.
Afghan has no idea at all. He starts off with Australia is a shithole. I am biased, I am an Australian.. however... Australia is a fantastic place, it is a place where hard work is rewarded, be that hard work in an office or out on the land. It is a friendly place where people would rather help than hinder. I have been living in my latest address for 12 months, within the first month everyone had stopped and said hello. Education is free until Uni and then subsidised, medical is free to those who cannot afford it, same with dental. A single mother has a kid who needs braces... no worries. An old person has nowhere to live or no one to look after them.. no worries. Now not all Australians are great or even good, but it constantly ranks very high in regards to standard of living polls and has for many many years, there is a good reason for that.
By all means Afghan bag the place... but I wonder why it is that there are so many people that immigrate to Australia and not away from it?? hmm... must be a desperate horrible place to live.. I would much rather you keep that thought and stay the hell away.
rant over..
