Thats fact

Uhhh... have you heard the bear vs man argument going around? Many women believe being alone with any man is dangerous - that "logic" is already well established.

First of all, thanks for coming in with an actual arguement - not typical of many of my comments here.

My arguement back is that immigration Australia, or more to the point the individual case manager, is not responsible for the wider fabric of Australian society. Their purpose is getting right people to right place. Immigrants get told to leave, visas expire all the time and its done in a processed way - individual visas are noting compared to the wider focus.

I can do the same thing with many of the hats I wear - as a coach I am responsible for keeping my kids safe and involved in the sport, not the wider direction of sports in my county. As a tutor im responsible for getting my 30 students through the course, not the wider academic achievements of the university. As a parent im responsible for raising three good adults, not the future of the country. Immigration Australia is responsible for filling skill gaps - thats it.

In a perfect world we could take wider holistic views of individual decisions and its effects on the wider population, but its just not realistic. Similar to your "fuck borders" arguement - basic human action and game theory are why borders exist in the first place.

I would argue its the system doing exactly what its meant to do.

The whole point of migration and visas is that you get to choose who you allow in, get to pick the skills and abilities your country needs, in exchange for the ability to work there and/or apply for citizenship.

Immigration is meant to be selective, meant to be picky, and meant to fill gaps your country has. Is it harsh, and more than a little cold - absolutely. But that is what Immigration is.

Colour me surprised - most kiwis don't even like looking at it.

I have three of the one in the bottom right.

Great tongue game as a result but that's about it.

Or just realise most of the world doesn't give a shit about American history any more than Americans care about the treaty of Waitangi.

Moana is literally ocean.

This way you can call her bug or something else cute

Very good point

Perception. If a company isn't on the leading edge we don't consider them the best.

Regardless if you use them or not, if Google didn't touch AI but Edge did you would believe edge is more advanced.

I should call her....

Closer to teabag

And taught the most important lesson ever.

Don't fuck with Americas boats

I've got a wet bus ticket if the legal system wants to borrow it.

You forgot "this is what hard-core Christians believe, this is where it contradicts itself, here are the 10 commandments including love thy neighbor and don't worship false idols".

(Completely different country here, no present risk.) The unfortunate reality for me is that I have three kids who might be called up if the shit hits the fan, and I've had 30 odd years longer on this planet.

If its not me, it's my kids.

Absolutely, they are all stacked together.

Or a turd sandwich in which the bread is a bit old and causes issues in other countries.

You forgot how many people would bitch their small size in a medium container wasn't filled properly.

Well its not a millennial because its got its own house.

Must be a boomer
