Americans? Australians? Muslims? No. It seems to me that the world is being conquered by rednecks.

@poisenwell They may be not identify themselves as Australian because they live in a society with racist people like you from English background.

I dont understand why towelheads and wogs would want to go to the beach in the first place. Its not as if they need a tan, is it? Can one of you ragheads or wogs please tell me why you see fit to go to the beach?

Anyone is welcome down Cronulla, but have respect for the people and the beach, don't come down harass women, spit on people, bash lifeguards and steal things. It becomes racial because the people that do these things are not always, but mostly of middle eastern appearance and not even from the shire. If all 'white' people from the shire went to a mosque in western Sydney and did these things they would be outraged aswel. The riots were necessary because really there is no other way of stopping

the only racial tension was coming from the evil white people. that lifeguard story that they were attacked was bullshit

[cam9408]

This day showed that Aussies will never let anyone walk all over them and disrespect them!

@poisenwell Now now, don't be picking on where people's idea came from, that's not a very interesting argument. One race, it would eventually happen. There's planes now. One world, no. There will always be different countries no matter what. Ah hell with this, it's all about your point anyway, me me me, my country. You don't really give a damn about what anyone says. This convo is going to loop, so I will argue no more.

[PoppinHam]

@poisenwell Heck, if I was born in a different country and I wasn't white, would I care that I was born that way? Yes - I agree very much with you; the way that globalization is heading, I too do not see much white in the future, but I also do not see much asians, africans, polynesians, middle easterns or europeans in the future. Unity of races will occure sooner or later, so we're all on the same boat... whether some of us like it or not.

[PoppinHam]

@poisenwell No they are not gangs, but my point was that if we were in the same situation as them, we'd be forming gangs and stabbing people. Yes, currently we are not going around stabbing people and forming gangs. But I think it's also foolish to think that any country would prosper forever. Who knows what the future might bring... You know what I'm saying?
