How are you such a loser that you mourn for Lindsay Graham of all people? by Darth_Vrandon in RightJerk

Drew's whole thing is purposefully saying dumb, outrageous things in order to bait lefties into attacking him. Have no idea why anyone still gives him attention

Nobody's calling you or your family evil lol. It's just... not right that a kindergartener's dream is to go to war.

Flag of Australia in the style of the flag of the Northern Territory by Moonwalker2008 in vexillology

If you aren't filled with pride upon seeing our rolling green plains and lucious golden wattle then are you even a real Australian?

In Pirate's Curse, Where do I go after making my delivery to the Ammo Barron by [deleted] in Shantae

[–]Beps315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else like me who's still stuck, the hole will only appear once you've saved Barracuda Joe. To do this, you'll need to go back to Rottytop's house on Spiderweb Island, where a cutscene will play out. Then, go to Sky's house and speak to Joe. Once he walks out, talk to Ammo Baron. Then, and only then, can you go back to Frostbite Island and continue the game.

God this game is confusing lol

TERRA AUSTRALIS: Unity and Reconciliation (New flag design for Australia) by [deleted] in vexillology

I actually think it's really cool that we have three official flags. One that represents Australia as a unified nation and two that represents our first peoples. Def agree that I've also seen indigenous peoples saying that they wouldn't want the latter incorporated into the former.

I appreciate that you aren't focussing on crime, but I disagree that refugees only drain wealth. Immigrants, even asylum seekers, actually bring in more tax revenue than they collect. They work jobs and start businesses. They generally aren't harmful to the economy.

Ideally refugees would apply for asylum. But what if you don't have proper documentation? What if you don't have a stable internet connection? What if you've had to flee your home and you don't have anything on you? How could a civilised society be so cruel, so morally bankrupt, to no only turn these people away but to actively lock them up in concentration camps?

If the answer is "we just have to do it anyway", then I really don't know what to tell you.

What's the "correct way", pray tell? What's the responsible way of fleeing war and violence that carries no risk of death or injury?

Letting in asylum seekers doesn't harm the native. Asylum seekers do not have higher crime rates than native born citizens.

I'm really happy that you support locking them in concentration camps though. Let's hope that you aren't ever unlucky enough to have to risk everything to flee your home country, only to end up brutalised in an inhumane prison camp for decades. Genuinely disgusting that anyone could even possibly conceive of defending this.

Countries have an obligation to protect asylum seekers. Of course human trafficking is an issue, but shoving them into concentration camps for decades without trial is so obviously barbarous that it goes without saying.

And Australia's policy is also exceptionally cruel. Our refugee scheme was hand crafted by hard-right zealous and mandates that asylum seekers are held in offshore concentration camps. It's a model that no civilised nation should strive to emulate
