Crying like a Refugee - more forum posts

Some twit was carrying on with that nonsense of queue jumping, it really got my goat. This is another of the posts that i really dont want to lose, i felt i had a point. I have this theory that you can view just about all situations as micro and macro. Most importantly i believe that by taking something related to an individual for example, can then be applied to a community, or all people.

I would first reconsider the use of the term "refugee problem", it implies guilt, similar wording to people referring to the "black problem" in the past. It is not a problem, it is a fact of life, it is a common thread throughout history, do you think this is a new thing to happen, read your history books, read the Bible! It is the responsibility of all humans to ensure that we are all treated with respect and given basic rights, the same rights we expect without thought in this country. You speak of bigger issues however I am not interested in that in any way, what matters to me is that if these people make it here through whatever means because their basic human rights are not being met, it is up to us as humans to look out for them, to give them respect and to ensure they have a future no matter what that is. It is not enough to simply argue about the bigger issues for years, leaving these people in limbo, do you understand? This will never go away, so it is important for each generation to do what it can, as it is in these situations that we are judged as people, does that make sense? Get over this ridiculous argument of trying to catch us out because we dont know how to solve something that has been occuring since the dawn of mankind, thats simply foolish. Taken back to the human experience, we can then see that not only are they effected as people suffering a terrible wrong albeit not a new one, we as a country will also suffer as a collective, our soul will be tarnished. I respect the individual Jane as im sure you do, take that to a larger scale and understand that as a country, then as humans, we would hope that this simple respect will not disappear. http://www.safecom.org.au/refugees.htm
