    I understand what he is saying. I have been in this country for more then 16 years and I try very hard to learn the language. I treat all my mates like brothers.

    But I just don’t know what he is trying to achieve here. BTW do you know how many westerners in Hong Kong and China whose do not speak Chinese at all? Aren't we all the same?

    I don't think it's an appropriate post for the forum.
    In fact I think it contravenes "Message to Noora and Others"

    Biggoted American tripe re-written so that it purports to be Australian.
    I'm surprised that hasn't already deleted it.

    Often sends the god is good , need a hug type e-mail , but this one was obivously a forward on thing and I guess i'm on his list I doubt it he read it too hard, proberly just skimmed it and sent it on.

    As I said I read this and thought yeah no xmas lights , licence with face covered etc, then I read it again and had second thoughts , then third, etc
    I posted this to see if I was reading too much into it, is this an honest article or something more evil or am I just parionid

    As you say I should have just pressed the delete and will happly delete it now ,

    I have no problem with it being posted for discussion and hiding it away to save our delicate little flowers is not the answer.

    Say no to censors unless it's something I don't agree with !! :confused:

    The best thing about this letter is that it has shown that the members of this forum are smart enough to recognise it for the rubbish it is, while being prepared to engage in serious discussion on the issues without resorting to personal slanging.

    Sorry, but that's beside the point.

    To quote the bearded one:

    Message to Noora and others.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Noora, we don't care what your political or religious beliefs are.

    However, on this board we do not enter into political debates or debates on foreign policies of our own or other countries. We also do not discuss religion.

    There are other forums on the net for these things. Please use them.

    Thank you.

    "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." (Romans 12:18)

    "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you," (Luke 6:27)
    And yet:

    "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34)
    Here endeth the lesson.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    because Christian
    men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this
    is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on
    the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you
    consider another part of the world as your new home, Because God is
    part of our culture.
    That at least contrevenes the bit about discussing religion.

    Ashore, you were right. It is bigotry and you shouldn't need us to tell you.

    That's not what the discussion was about though, seems it has struck some kind of nerve.

    Not with me.
    I'm a heathen and proud of it.

    My point is that the contents of that message are offensive to a lot of the members of this board, as evidenced by the responses it has provoked.

    It's plain and simple bigotry and I don't understand Ashore's need to post it.

    Tell me what there is to discuss about it.
