I bet your SriLankan , and thats why you focus on Sl and cant be bothered to mention Afhganistan.
You want everyone to feel sorry for you, and you simply cant admit the truth, that you took advantage of Kevin.
i'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.
if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).
they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.

Jeffro:
here we go again, more bullshit victimisation because you cant back up your assertions about Afghanistan getting worse in 2009, which you know is a lie.

Jeffro:
The text appears to be after 2009, but again it doesnt say things are so much worse now we have to leave. THe text also does not say the men mentioned had to leave because they feared for their lives. The do mention SL is not great and troubled but that is a big stretch to claim they were in fear for their lives !
they could have stopped in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia and so on, and they would have been relatively safe. They came to Australia because Kevin made it easy. I dont blame them for trying, im just being honest, something you have a hard concept in admitting. Kevin opned the door and they took their chance.
You also have yet to tell or show why Afghans wanted or needed to leave after 2009 rather than before. If anyone country has hell on earth its Afhganistan and they had it really bad in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s with the Russians and taliban. WHy didnt they leave then ?
i think that in our various discussions about life after the wt, we many times forget about the cornerstone of christian life - the resurrection.
the implications of the existence a man who holds the power of life and death is manifold.
it makes discussions about the existence of god obsolete.. for all of scientists' accomplishments they have never been able to make even one amobea come alive from non-life.
Forget resident evil give me matt 25 and the zombies!

But NY is a real city, therefore batman must also exist. Israel exists therefore jesus must exist because they said so.

jefrro:
You have completely ignored the Afghan refugees ? Why did they start to come in 2009 but didnt try before when the Taliban were about in full power ?
Why do you focus so much on SL ? Do you have friends or a personal connection there and thats the truth in your continued focus on that ?

mP:
I never claimed that SL was a place without problems, i only stated its gotten better because peace is *nearlY* always better than war.
Jeffro:
A typical 'shifting the goalposts' strategy.
mP:
Again your lying, i have never changed my statement that the libs policies regarding boats stopped them.
I was simple stating that SL got peace in 2009 and its logical to think that peace is better than war. You have failed multiple times to show me how it got worse. No news stories that show the situation getting worse rquiring an exodus. Damn your a liar, just like your failed messiah kevin (yes cheap shot).
Jeffro:
You claimed that Howard's policies 'stopped the boats' and that it was Rudd's policies in 2009 that 'started the boats' again.
mP:
And how is my statement which you quote a change in that comment by me ? You goto be kidding if thats a change.
Jeffro:
The fact is that there was a new influx of asylum seekers in 2009, as clearly shown by the facts.
mP:
so where is the bad stuff in SL you keep claiming ? WHere ? How come its so hard to prove this ?
jeffro:
Your attempt at shifting focus to your impression of 'conditions in Sri Lanka' (which in fact did make things less secure for the Tamil) is entirely irrelevant to your false correlation about 'stopping the boats'.
mP:
yes because the end of a civil war is completely irrevelant to the well being of a country. What a pathetic argument.
Jeffro:
News sources, refugee organisations and the Australian government agree that there was an increase in refugee numbers in 2009 due to international factors and not Australian policy.
mP:
Where ? Your links to the abc etc did not say this at all.
Jeffro:
You're wrong, and that's all. I'm not interest in responding any further to your arrogant tripe. I've supplied enough information already for sincere readers.
mP:
its amazing how often you say this and how little you provide in links.
your links did not support your story. One mentioned a boat had refugees. None of them said why the left their homes.
peace!.
you have stated (and others have agreed and stated the same) that faith is not based on evidence, or it is not faith to begin with.
may i ask you, then, if you think the apostles and early disciples, who walked with christ, had faith?
TEC
My point was in response to what you seemed to be saying... that christians do good works for a reward, rather than out of love. If that was not what you were saying, then there is no argument here.
mP:
So why is history filled with xians doing the exact opposite ? Believers like peter not eatting with gentiles. Other believers like David killing everyone and anyone they can or percieve real or imaginery is a threat ? Or people like Paul who rather than helping slaves tells them to go back to their masters ? Are these really good people or are they good because you say they are, a bit like suicide bombers are good because some Imam says they are ?

Why didnt God just forgive everyone for their sins ? Why does he have to have his son tortured and killed because the pagans around israel liked to have human & animal sacrifices ? Why didnt he just wipe the proverbial slate ?

No. I am saying that Christ is the truth... follow HIM

So why dont you hold dangerous snakes and drink poison like he said in Mat (i thnk it was mat)?
