The doco on sbs, 'go back to where you came from' is very full on. The bogan girl makes me want to punch her in the face every time she talks. The ignorance of some people makes me very angry. Those are the people that give south australians a bad name. Not to mention they are the one reproducing like rabbits.
But that wasn't my point. That show hasn't changed how I feel about refugees. Yes they should be helped, but letting certain people into the country is like shooting yourself in the foot. Unless they are willing to make a better life, work, study, be productive somehow and adapt, they will bring us down. There is not enough rehabilitation for when they get here. For fucks sake, it's a culture shock. You can't expect them to adapt on their own.
On the other side, this is a bandaid situation. You can bring as many people as you want, it won't solve the problem. Don't ask me how, but shouldn't we be spending more time trying to solve the problem? Australia has some brilliant minds. Huge hearts and countless people wanting to make a difference. Then why not use them to help other countries so that we don't get ours invaded with refugees? I know it would take time. But every journey starts with a single step. Keep bringing people in, but try to help the people and country they left behind.
And then for some reason people still support the war. Ofcourse, fight violence with violence. Yeah. Makes sense right? 2011 and still acting like we were in the early days.
