You keep saying that people should accompany you on a visit to PNG. Why would anyone want to accept such an "offer"?
Have I not been clear enough?
Let me elucidate .... and make a point Yourself and others take the PNG people for granted....
No.
You in particular make comment on other cultures and IMHO you have no right unless you have actually lived in these places.
In this discussion I have not been commenting on PNG. If the Australian government had established a prison in any other country my reaction would be the same.
You have made comment in the past on how cool and righteous that it is to live as a hunter / gatherer on mother earth but in the end, you have no
Really? When did I do that?
...and thats the whole Green fuktard problem.
Please don't make any more comments about a "middle ground" when you are so obviously incapable of discussion.
Too much 1st world angst over 3rd world cultures that you have no right to comment on cos you really only read it in a book!!.
Would you rather we just said nothing and let Tony Abbot's policies based on racism and fear win out?
Why do I keep trolling you and the Green's on it?
Stop trolling.
Well you keep making sweeping comments based on Wiki Articles and others "blogs".... its great to point to links of "truth" but if I am subject to another ad hominem argument over this I will vomit.

Show me I am wrong! Place your own neck and cash on the line and prove me wrong! Fucking get out of Lygon Street and travel to a place where life can be lost because of a sip bad water or a mosi bite.
Unless you and the rest of your ilk understand such then YOU CAN NOT BE ADVOCATES FOR THOSE THAT CLAIM THEY ARE ESCAPING FROM SAME!
In this discussion I have been advocating for people who are escaping from war zones and persecution. I have not been commenting on people who are escaping from bad water etc - the discussion hasn't been about such things. If you would like to discuss what the Australian government should do in regard to bad water etc then maybe you should start another thread.
With Respect, I sincerely thought you were better than this.
