Pity you are a sub-human amoeba lacking any thought process, let alone human feelings.
 
I'm not "encouraging boat people", I'm sympathetic to people who are escaping persecution, disease,war, death etc It's a complex issue and ridiculous of you to even think that a simple statement about Zoe on a reality show can even begin to say anything about my personal views regarding immigration. Shame on you miss for being so one dimensional.
Plus darling, I grew up on boats. SO I find that statement not only presumptuous but hysterical considering my history. Perhaps you should think first before you make such rash judgements.

Anyone who encourages boat people is encouraging the death of people at sea.

Being kind would be to discourage them from coming.

Shame on your ignorance.

Please somebody, anybody, correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn that the promo of Zoe at the start of the show had her declaring that she was essentially a right wing anti-gay country girl etc. Obviously she's a country gal, which is cool, but she seems to be besties with Benji and I think she seems to be a real sweetie. I was quite shocked when I saw her buddy up with Ben at first and now I'm questioning my own memory. Have I missed something or made a mistake? I'm hoping she has grown to realize that there is nothing wrong with gay people nd grown due to this realization. But I can't recall if she really was a bigot in the first place.

I was Born In the Far North I have lived in cities all over the world and your assertion is not only wrong but laughable to me

cheers

There is always a lot of bigotry and prejudice towards those from outside the Sydney - Melbourne - Canberra triangle.
 
I'm sure there is but what does that have to do with anything? I certainly don't harbour any prejudices towards people because they come from Bega or Alice Springs or Bundoona or wherever. That's beside the point.

ummmm, okaay. What's your point forpetesake?
Perhaps before quoting me you should read the question? And it was a QUESTION not an assertion.

regional and rural views are as valid as metro

Did you sneer at the queer people from the North when 23% of Queenslanders voted for Pauline Hansons One Nation in 1998?

They had their reasons.

I respect the views of all Australians.

Pauline Hanson got support by appealing to the worst in Australians. Her career fizzled when the Howard Government picked up that idea of appealing to the worst.
 
are you an average Australian?

You loaded a lot of bigotry and prejudice into your question, so of course people took offence.

Just realise that you are different to most Australians, and try to be more thoughtful and considerate next time.

BB doesn't get off the hook either, for pandering to the ignorance of folks like you in stereotyping Zoe.
 
better or worse?

Of course they are worse, when you are always better.

Can someone ban this guy?
 
Oh just shut up why don't you? clearly you can't empathise with people that may be fleeing for PERSECUTION. I'm not a total liberalist but honestly, that comment makes you look like a selfish bastard.
 
I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I have a lot of mates from smaller town who explain there can be certain mentalities about these issues. It is hard to change views when all those around you are perpetuation a specific style of thinking and beliefs. She didn't come as overly hateful, possibly set in her ways and not fully educated on the issue (As I have found most people who are well read on the issue tend to be able to expand on their views etc.) but just views and perceptions she has gained from general observation. From what we have seen she has not been overly aggressive with these conservative views, so maybe it is a case of let people have their own opinions if they are trying to throw their beliefs down your throat if you don't agree. I see this as being a small part of her personality, and these sort of views can always be changed with age, experiences and exposure to other ideals and people. Who knows, perhaps she has become slightly more liberal in her thinking being in the house are surrounded by what seems to be a majority of people who don't hold the same views.

I guess I don't think she should be vilified for a generalised comment made during an intro interview when there has been no other actions to state she is racist (also I do know some people who just do not like the whole 'boat people' situation who object purely from a immigration and security check objection, and not from their race or religion). In saying this, I want to clarify I am a huge supporter of immigration and refugees, and have no problem with Australia taking them in and providing fellow human beings with a happy and safe environment to live in. Having helped out in a refugee health check center, and having to conduct fully health and family history profiles, the stories you hears, experiences they have gone through, scars and wounds they still have from being persecuted, I find it hard not to emphasise with them.

Sorry! Rant over... :S

When you don't quote or mention usernames no one knows who you are talking to.
