I don't 100% agree with everything said by the other side of the argument, but as the saying goes I'll defend the system that allows the other side the right to voice their opinion - we should all be agreeing with that. When you insult someone, especially so readily, your argument is lost in my opinion - articulating a reasonable position based on a perspective of facts doesn't need a f-you on the end of it.
I don't care if someone is racist - it isn't illegal and a thought never killed anyone. Acting on those thoughts is illegal, including (at times) how you verbally express them. Terrorists act on their racism - do you want to have something in common with them? Many of them have a reasonable argument as well, but they pee it up the wall by so obviously killing innocent people. Why would we listen about our own government's wrong-doing under those circumstances. However, it's still another irrelveant argument thrown into the mix of asylum seekers, which I think is done on purpose to over state the problem.
We've put our hand up for that international responsibility and like it or lump it, that's our role until we put our hand down again.
(Just to add. I've been to a shed load of countries and everyone of them has a beauty beyond imagination. There are no crappy coutries, just crappy people).
