Not sure how that affects prices except UK has out performed France and Italy.

And apparently, the Italians in particular love the UK arrivals who now reside in their country?! Why? Apparently the UK arrivals attempt to learn the local language, integrate more with society; respect the sometimes millenia-old buildings and architecture (some UK'ers were reported to even approach local Italian councils to get on the 'restoration and protection' boards and so on!?), and live quietly, peacefully, and integrate with the local community.

How dare you use me as part of a straw man argument to feed your persecution complex I have nowhere said or implied anything to do with you or anybody else being or not being an Australian citizen and I have in no way said anything which implies that it has even crossed my mind that I have a problem with your or anybody else's name or skin colour which you continually mention as though it is some kind of crutch you can lean on to protect you from scrutiny and to allow you to avoid addressing the argument and instead portray yourself as a victim because someone who you assume is "white" dares to question a person with the racial characteristics you constantly proclaim you have.
Had a thought about a new "white flight" (or any other colour flight reason), and it may be poo-hooed, but it is becoming a real reason for folks -
The latest news of the two young guys arrested yesterday by the ATF/Feds or whoeve;r after a tip-off that they were planning a terrorist attack in the very near future..possibly that day.
They had a machete, a hunting knife, a home-made ISIL flag and a video allegedly with rants about an attack.
Now; the scary thing is these young blokes didn't look all that different to the normal young blokes you see around your neighborhood - they didn't have the massive beards and tight fitting skull-caps etc that seem to be the look of choice by yer ISIS death cult nutjob.
But here's the thing; the demographic of these terrorists is often much the same; yer 18-30 year old middle-eastern appearance male. I'm sure 99 out of 100 are harmless, but it only takes one.
I can see a trend emerging where folks (of all races and colours) will see this demographic in the neighborhood and begin to worry for theirs and their family's safety, and will become paranoid (if not already) and start to move away.
I've said it before and will say it again now; the day will come in Aus when one or more of these crazies will grab some random person at a shopping mall and cut their head off in front of hundreds of folks.
If I was in an area with a decent representation of this demographic and appearance male around the neighborhood, I would be extremely nervous now.
Sad, but this is how people think.
Is it a justified mindset given so many Muslims in the world are normal folks going about their lives?
Probably not, but I wouldn't be taking the risk anymore; given how "under the radar" these two idiots have been.
I'll stick my neck out (excuse the pun) and label a public beheading as terrorism.
So the meth head in perth recently shot dead who had a hostage he was threatening to behead - that would have been terrorism?
didn't hear about it, was he muslim?
So is that a yes or no re terrorism?
Or does it matter what the religion of the nutjob is?
you tell me - I don't even know what incident you are on about
of course it matters, I'd be putting that near the top of your analsysis. I would doubt he is pro IS if he isn't muslim, otherwise he is not only a nutjob but a suicidal one at that
Sadly, Sanj; it seems that the religion is the precursor to the behaviour and the act.So is that a yes or no re terrorism? Or does it matter what the religion of the nutjob is?
See above.Why does the religion matter?
It is deemed a terrorist act that they were planning, and yes; the religion is the key to the behaviour. Sorry.So is that a yes or no re terrorism? Or does it matter what the religion of the nutjob is?
This is different; bad dudes have been wandering around with weapons for eons; but their violence is usually directed at someone they know as part of a rival gang, someone they know personally, etc. Drug-fuelled rage is another wild card and is often random, but way less of a potential threat.. Most times with this scenario the person's demeanour and behavior are noticed by others in advance and they can be avoided to a degree..Guys with knives, weapons, etc have been carrying them around since the 80s.
Yes there does seem to be an exaggerated threat of terrorism from the media and politicians. I would not put it in the top 100 risks to the average Australians safety, you are more likely to be struck by lightening (and therefore avoid living on hilltops, etc.. where does it stop).I think that there's a propensity for the media to report anything where Muslims are involved- often in situations where it would not be reported if they were Anglos- thus heightening the paranoia many people have towards Muslims as a whole.
Only when it involves violence or the threat of it, from my experiences.I think that there's a propensity for the media to report anything where Muslims are involved
Thanks for that, Perp.It originates from when Europe was considered "the centre of the world".
America and western Europe is to the west.
China was the "Far East".
To get there you pass through... the Middle East.
Sometimes Turkey (and surrounds) is referred to as the "near East".
South America, Africa, and Australia either weren't colonised or insignificant enough on the world trading routes to rate a mention.
