    WTF ? ... So what they're saying is that we're meant to swim in jeans and long sleeve shirts? Or am I missing something here. LMAO. I agree with Wilso. ( And I'll bet $3.50 that Flan agrees also )

    That's got to be one of the most stupid decisions I've ever heard of.  It will backfire and make people resent muslims even more than they already do. 

    Some of these do gooders have truly got shit for brains. 

    Even the islamic spokeswoman doesn't want it for fuck sake.

    If its only for 2 hours a year then what fucking good will it do anyway. Its a joke and as Bano says creates more ill feeling towards Muslims than the good it tries to do.

    BTW I was gonna put $100 on Flan agreeing also but I didnt get in quick enough. Odds were pretty short I hear :)

    And that is the whole point Rodders. If these people cannot assimilate for only 2 hours in the year, then why the hell are they here.

    Dont forget, it all starts somewhere, first its no speedos for 2 hours, and within my lifetime some FUCK will be telling my daughters to walk around in a garbage bag, because they are all brain deal animals that cannot control themselves.

    When I went visiting the muslim mosques in Malaysia, I had the decency and respect to dress appropriately to suit their customs.
    If they want to visit a swimming pool in Australia, then they can have the decency and respect to accept our dress codes, or not go.

    I had the choice to either dress appropriately and enjoy the visit, or wear a pair of shorts and thongs, and keep right away from the mosques. I made my choice when I was in their country. They can do the same when they are in mine. Its that simple.

    Best way to get people to hate Muslims is with things like this.

    Mike Smith on 4BC said the real question is: Why would you want to go swimming in Melbourne in August?

    Well that's Dandebong for ya. They have a full day a week at the Fitzroy pool and males aren't allowed in at all.

     

    What's the difference between Werribee zoo and Dandenong?

    The animals aren't quite as dangerous at Werribee

    And which side of the wedge is apathy? Make sure Im not on that side.

    Do you know that swimming in Australia was not even allowed in daylight hours. Then men only allowed to swim. Have a look at the swimwear in the 40's.

    How did this all change to become the bikini we all know and love to see today. (Of course, not on you!!!)

    Because little by little historically people made a stand and change slowly happened. Little by little.

    Isnt that exactly what is happening here? Little by little.
    First 2 hours for a multi cultural experience. Of course, who else will go?
    Then another council says all day.
    Then another council says all week
    Then another council says all year.
    Little by little, each council will politically overcorrect the other. And soon, we will be back in the 1940's to pander to a minority few who left their own countries because they dont like the rules there.

    Pander to the minority? Then was it wrong to confiscate the passport of a 14yo muslim girl as her "father" wanted to sent her overseas for an arranged marraige.
    If they want to come here, then we shouldnt select which rules they should abide and which we will change to help them "fit in". Change no rules and they will soon fit in. Just like this "father".

    If they dont "fit in" maybe just rethink where they want to live. Australia is a beautiful country, and our forefathers have worked hard and fought hard for what we enjoy today. Why lose that to help someone "fit in". Political correctness and apathy is not going to solve this problem. If they dont like what we do, then the opportunity to leave will always exist.

    I have musi mates, and they fit in perfectly, because they want to. They are my mates, and they call me mate. And I dont have to change anything to suit them. They will even come to my place and watch me cook pork sausages on the barbie. They will eat the beef sausages, but they dont cry racism at me for munching on a pork sausage. So this pandering is a crock of shit to make some goody goody get a little hard on. No one needs it, they just need, the fit in or fuck off. And my mates will agree, and then go straight to their mosque for a little pray or whatever they do there.

    Y.M.C.A----is that young mans christian association---so WTF do they want a special 2 hours for there muslim brothers----- My opinion is religion sucks ,and has absolutley no place in determining how any laws or rules should be determined in our country. Everyone is different and I dont really care if you believe in a greater power, god or fucken totem pole, or a cane toad-----

    Enjoy this belief but share the fucker with other like minded people and keep me out of it.

    My son wanted an exemption note from attending religion at school----I wrote a note saying I was happy for him to attend as long as it covered every fucken religion world wide and why those people believed-----obviously he didnt have to go because it was one particular religion expressing there views and there views only.


    Fuck im getting carried away------I sincerely hope my kids or any aussie generations to come dont have to end up kissing carpets at the end of the day---cheers Grim

    I went into Hungry Jacks the other day and, as I was ordering, two
    Muslim women walked in.
    I saw they had the most colourful garments from head-to-toe and I
    immediately thought to myself...
    "The burqas are better at Hungry Jacks".

     

     

    this is Australia mate

     my opinion

    fit in or f$#k off
