people have a right and should criticise their nation or government in order to better it
I agree. However, Australia isn't Merlins country. Germany is Merlins country. Australia belongs to the CITIZENS who live in it, not illegal immigrants who illegally live in it for 6 years and then complain because they are put into detention for breaking the law.

You would also realise that telling people to "move" to another country is also counter-productive to the betterment of any society.
Merlin moved from another country. Why dont we send him back if it would be counter-productive for his society.

You know what the real problem is? People like you, opinionated, ignorant and lacking the required foresight to see their failings, the failings of the nation-state, and because of this you are unable and never will be able to grow beyond your pre-pubescent tantrums.
Opinionated-Yes, just like you.
Ignorant-Yes, just like you.
Lacking the required foresight to see my failings-No, I believe thats you.
You mention pre-pubescent tantrums. Where not the ones complaining about going into Iraq and freeing 20 million people from a tyranical dictator.
Actually, I do see the failings of our "nation-state":
* The billion dollar debt we've got
* The economic recession we went through in the 80's because of lack of injections.
Wait a second. Do both of these things have something in common? Oh. Thats right. They both happened under a Labor government.
Our forefathers fought for our freedoms and liberties. Now, Australian soldiers are fighting for the freedom and liberties of 20 million Iraqis. Your all selfish, selfish people. Its because of you that our country is deteriorating, from one of the greatest nations on Earth, to a wasteland of Hippys and dick heads.
