Austria to ban full-face veil in public places

Thanks for those pearls of wisdom Davo. All input from politically savvy gurus sitting in their dunny is much appreciated and it's value recognised for what it is.
I imagine you feel much better for sharing your wisdom with us.

Possibly May should try to emulate Turnbull's success at currying favour with Trump ... who terminated their phone call ... over the Obama agreement to take immigrants not wanted by Australia. Possibly Turnbull could persuade Trump they'd be an ideal workforce to build the new wall on the Mexico border.

DAVO what about the points I made about your adopted country and it's attitude to people who have been there for millions of years,ages before the convicts colonised it.
 Have you no comment?

Aussies very rarely do andsome.

Ok...stop getting your knickers in a twist.
You are allowed to state your opinion on this forum....the only rule is no swearing and no name calling.

That is certainly very evident.

Andsome, this topic is about Austria and their Muslim veil ban.
If you wish to discuss the Aussie Abbos then it would probably be best to please start another thread.

Point taken,but I am not the only one to get off topic. Comments have been made about the general view in the U.K.,about masked women being allowed to walk our streets. Good luck to the Austrians,at least it will be stopped in their country.

and if the Queen agrees to meet Trump and hold his hand you are all doomed!

sorry Mal but the term Abbos is a derogatory term over here - your slip is still showing

What about Aussies and Brits and Poms then ?

I see that Davo has still declined to answer my point that most of us in the U.K. Are far less racist than Ausis are when referring to the Native Australians. To this end as requested by Malcolm I have started another thread in the hope that he can summon up an answer, but I have my doubts.

Anyone wishing to add to this topic ...please read the Rules and Regs first.

I don't suggest you read the entire article unless you are a book worm or a research buff but the conclusion on page 200 and something should suffice!

come come Mal a name in a name in a name!

what about Micks/Paddys
Taffeys
Jocks
chinks or slopeheads
coon
dink
froggie
golliwog

and I can go right through the alphabet if you wish - is this all permissible on your site?? or now considered offensive?


are these all regularly and acceptable terms in the English vernacular these days or considered derogatory terms?

Aussie is an abbreviation as in Brits ; P.O.M.S has a long history as you know full well - let me assure you Mal if I were to take you on a walking trip around any aussie city and you used the term Abbo you would be very quickly short changed and short thumped!

Erm Davo, picky picky .. if you were to walk around any British city and call us xenophobes, bigots or nerds you'd risk getting a knuckle butty.
Just saying like ... you keyboard warrior you.

pigface OK?
