No insult taken. The answer is no, it's my 3rd. But rest assured, my command of the English language is something I'm very proud of. Any other question?is english your first language? not trying to be insulting just curious
I appreciate your kind words @Fadi ;, it's unfortunate, as this thread had potential to be a useful discussion but has degraded into something quite unfortunate. I appreciate your sentiment and persistence in the face of considerable antagonism and ignorance, and am frustrated that a considerable amount of misdirected angst has been allowed to be directed unfairly at one person, namely you, with no moderation. The pack mentality that has been displayed here is in fact very un-Australian.
as in a politician, whether you do it delibratly or not.. nothing you say is clear cut and to the point. lots of miss direction and evasiveness.. you like to use 10 words when 3 would surfice. see woody allans previous post re this
Although I've quoted your text this is not directed at you specifically Genics Re: Woody's post but I must point out that those of you on the other side of the fence have used plenty of poor tactics to try and prove your point throughout this thread- selectively focussing on minutiae and not the issue at hand, not acknowledging valid points because you likely see this as a win/lose situation, citing poor and biased sources of information, allowing the issue to become more personal than factual and relying on emotive writing rather than fact.
I'm not trying to further this argument because it becoming more and more futile - maybe we can all agree to disagree; but what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The points Woody raised cut both ways!
You can admit to us bro, I know it's shameful but sometimes it helps to confess these awful things, it can be therapeutic.
You have an arts degree don't you?

Brother, your intellect, wisdom, and the delivery in both your comments and replies is very impressive indeed, and you ought to be commanded on it, hence this small post of mine. I salute your parents for bringing you up the way they did, and I thank God almighty that the majority of the Australian community is more or less a reflection image of who you truly are deep down on the inside. Thank you for being you Sir!
Woody.
i had him picked as someone still at uni studying the arts..unfortunately his profile says he is 36 so was wrong
No thanks to haters everywhere, who I would suspect are perceived by this introverts as nothing more than provocateurs. Who knows, some of those "normal" Muslims could be reading some of the hate posts in this very thread and getting the urge to wake up from their slumber. That is why hate would bring more hate. So I urge the mature people in this thread to do their bit by having some useful and constructive conversations amongst ourselves, instead of acting as if this is some fiction movie we're all acting in. My wife was spat at from a passenger sitting in a truck high up looking down at her in her vehicle whilst standing at the traffic light waiting for the green signal. "You fucking terrorist go back to where you come from you bitch!" How would you like that to be done to your wife, mother, sister, or daughter, simply based on the cross or the star of David she's wearing around her neck?! I consider that man to be the luckiest man alive in Australia tonight simply because I was not there or he would have been torn to pieces and I would have been happy to go to jail for it if it was to come to that. Now please tell me D1cko, was that man "normal"? Tough man picking on a lone woman!!!Listening to the ABC on the way home from work, interviewing the 18yo mans close friend and camp room mate.
Apparently he was normal, quiet but popular and nobody, not even his parents knew his true motives.
Now, how many "normal" people are out there ready to flip out at any given time.
Your friendly co-worker could be plotting to kill you!!

Wake up people!

You know, I've never thought of my comprehension as being evasive. I have always thought that the way I do write, was more comprehensive than evasive. I always try to give the questioner a bit more than he or she has asked for. That is the way I see it. I may be totally wrong; I would have to ask an expert in this wonderful language we call the English language. And it just so happens that I have just the expert to ask, my own daughter. She's at Sydney Uni on her way to becoming an English professor.i ask as the way you construct sentences is just a bit off, which may explain why your writing style seems so evasive. hence i suspected english maybe wasnt the your first language.
while there is nothing wrong with your enlgish at all, probably better than most. the way you write doesn't reflect how someone would really speak in conversation
Hahaha, that's exactly what you would call evading the question, oh that's topsall of them. im hardly the only one notices and if your daughter doesnt i would question her credentials.
