Those situations are not in the least bit analogous. How exactly is people fleeing persecution comparable to somebody trespassing onto your personal property? What you said was disgusting.
Not about refugees.
child please
There's absolutely no valid reason to "sink them without asking questions", as you put forward earlier. As others have pointed out that is not the course of action the Navy would ever take. But even if they did that wouldn't excuse it as the 'right' thing to do.
I watched that movie years ago. I didn't think that it would have legitimate facts in it hahaha
Breaking and entering with perhaps the intent to harm or at least to burgle is different to asylum seeking. You cannot create parallels or*apply the same logic to them, and it says a lot about your naivety and ignorance.
False. The course of action is incorrect and you are now changing your stance. First they need to shoot on site, now there is space for identifying themselves.
The policy change would be enough to make a difference.
Until you can provide evidence that these countries exist, that is a huge sweeping statement full of pure speculation. What you are saying is immaterial. The idea of shooting trespassers on sight would create huge international problems in itself. Remember this is the real world we're discussing here, not MW3.
There may well be countries who shoot trespassers on sight, but this does not make it any less an appalling practise, and does not in any way justify Australia following suit.
Yeah I laughed at first, but he didn't arrive in Australia by boat. He actually went directly to Malaysia by boat and was processed offshore as an asylum seeker before flying into the country. The idea of stopping the boats is said to be in the interests of the boat people themselves since it's so ridiculously dangerous. But to be perfectly frank, I don't see how they're going to jump onto planes and fly into the country if they're in a civil war... how else does asylum seeking work?
Screw trying.
somebody watched too many war movies and played too much call of duty.
Yes I'm sure all those people who risked their lives to flee from war, famine, and persecution are really just out to kill us... *rolls eyes*
The truth is I'm just tired of hearing about boat people.
and yet everybody is tired hearing about your dumb ideas to "secure our borders"
And that justifies advocating "sinking them without question" how exactly?
I suspect you've had more time with call of duty than I have, after all it's the first thing that came to your mind.
It's one idea in one thread. It's not a recurring thing. I am not satthius.
maybe stop buying the newspapers and buying into political rhetoric, then maybe you'll stop hearing about it.
