Sasa stated that Mr Bosman's opinion made her "laugh out loud''.
Your poorly constructed reply lacks validity on the issues at hand. Nonetheless, I will concede that I detect passion in your polemic because that is what this country yearns. The problem is that your rhetoric is based on emotional construction, rather than of sound dialectic.
The fact of the matter is this: if an immigrant ventures to these shores, he/she is compelled to embrace the values, ideologies and culture – regrettably, many do not. In fact, copious people (minority groups) contravene our ways of life; they view us with the utmost contempt. Any immigrant that contravenes our laws, that threatens our way of life and covets rancour towards Australians is spitting in the face of our integrity and patriotism. This is treason and severe repercussions must ensue.
Sadly, much of what we used to hold dear in our culture has been severely bitten by this multicultural serpent. It is undeniably apparent that these minorities are influencing perspectives because they are given platforms (radio and television) to elucidate their fallacious victimisations. In response, Australians as a whole are made to feel guilty- they should not.
Consternation resonates within me when individuals such as yourself claim that we reside in a democratic state. The truth is we do not. The fact is that Australians cannot, as you eloquently put ''say whatever we want and believe" because various statutory/legislative provisions state the contrary. However, seeing as the land of Fantasia appeals to you, swallowing each piece of propaganda the status quo constantly bombards you with and adhering to it see you escape prosecution.
It is high time for my fellow Australians to assess the predicament this nation has created.
I do concur regrading this "deplorable excuse of a government''. In fact, all of the major political groups should be thrown into the abyss of shame. They have failed Australia.
Lastly, your diatribe about Mr Bosman was not warranted. It is people of your Marxist ilk and jejune acumen that believe the sky is green and the grass is blue. Sasa, stop chasing the unicorns and embrace the reality.

Store a credit to Wagga
Re: Thorne Street Corner Store
What a pity someone has found cause to criticise the new Thorne Street Corner Store, complaining that pedestrian access has been comprised.
I walk past every day and have never found a problem.
The development has become a stunning asset to the Conservation Area surrounding Collins Park and, undoubtedly, its warm and cosy environment and attractive décor will make it a favourite haunt for many Wagga residents.
This new small business is a credit to Wagga. The owners have set a fine example of what can be achieved through sheer hard work and determination to succeed.
Surely they deserve congratulation, not criticism!

Horse and cart days
Whoever designed the new roundabout on the corner of Oura and Byrnes roads must have thought we were going back to the horse days - as the in and outlets are only big enough to take a horse and cart, let alone B-dubs.
