I'm glad you took the time to read my complete post>sarcasm< is this how you handle the people you are meant to be helping by just listening to what you choose to hear?Lazza wrote:So you admit to being a racist?1061 wrote:I will be honest a racist response from living in an area where we have many Middles Eastern immigrants, refugee's, people over staying visa's ect ect.
Glad I dont live anywhere near you because I hate bloody racists with a passion......
I don't think you can categorise crimes so neatly. Some rapes are much worse than other rapes; some physical assaults are worse than other physical assaults; even some murders are much more brutal and horrifying than other murders. Likewise, there are some cases of child molestation that are horrific and some that are relatively minor. So, no, you can't say that all child abuse is worse than all rape, or whatever.1061 wrote:David sometimes we(you) over-think situations, hurting a child is and IMO I don't know about your opinion but in mine something I believe human beings are repulsed by.

I guess some of them think they can ("Yes, I put an innocent bystander in a coma, but I'd never harm a child!"), but mostly they probably just enjoy the idea of beating up on 'pervs'. Note the subtle difference in motivation there.
I see the crimes and the people who commit them differently.
No, it is NEVER ok to do that in ANY culture.1061 wrote:Obviously it's pointless asking Lazza to address my original point about the Police statement as he has seen my racist angle and wont let it go to discuss the topic rationally. Lazza do you think it's ok for men to follow women to their home and expect they are open for sex because they dress in a way that is Culturally acceptable in Australia but to some immigrant cultures is seen as easy prey?
So does this mean every post you make in a thread I'm in your going to through the racist card because I don't a certain ethnic group within our(there's that damn word again) community?Lazza wrote:No, it is NEVER ok to do that in ANY culture.1061 wrote:Obviously it's pointless asking Lazza to address my original point about the Police statement as he has seen my racist angle and wont let it go to discuss the topic rationally.

Same as it is NEVER ok to be a racist in any situation......
No. But I will never shy away from challenging and confronting racism. I make no apology for utterly bloody detesting racism and racists.1061 wrote:So does this mean every post you make in a thread I'm in your going to through the racist card because I don't a certain ethnic group within our(there's that damn word again) community?
What makes you think most Middle-Eastern immigrants think that following random women home is acceptable? I would think that adherent Muslims wouldn't tend to look on such behaviour favourably. And what does this have to do with Middle Eastern crime syndicates and people overstaying visas? You're allowing your dislike and prejudice to lead you to links that simply aren't there.1061 wrote:Obviously it's pointless asking Lazza to address my original point about the Police statement as he has seen my racist angle and wont let it go to discuss the topic rationally.

when you have your own child you will not see things from such an emotional distance.David wrote:I don't think you can categorise crimes so neatly.

The vulnerability of children makes crimes against them seem a little more heinous, but when you're comparing giving a young man permanent brain damage vs. giving a child a lifetime of sexual trauma, who's to say which is worse? It's all about the impact on the victim in my book.
Makes perfect sense to me TP.think positive wrote:when you have your own child you will not see things from such an emotional distance.
a lot of things upset me, hurt my child and God help anyone in my way.
(that young man is somebodys child, so same thing)
I also feel this way about crime against the elderly, and animals.
so I guess I speak from a mothers point of view.
