North Sri Lankan refugees (4 Viewers)

[Kiraken]

OK I looked. Dude, its based solely off India. Incorrect of you to say plural, "nations". India+sri lanka are practically same fucken place lol.

No they are not

 

[hayabusaboston]

No they are not

What kinds of major differneces do you propose there would be in socioeconomic status of most citizens of both countries?

 

[townie]

The Australian average is far higher than the Sri-Lankan average.

citation needed (preferably with an IQ test that's been validated for use in Sri Lanka and Australia)

Edit: never mind, just read your "source" fucking lol, I didn't realize it was April fools day

 

[townie]

The delicious irony....

mmmmm

And its what the ALP stand for, NOT necessarily what australia stand for. Recall that the ALP was outvoted by a huge figure, cant remember exactly, if someone knows please say, but iirc it was something like 22000 voters MORE for the liberals rather than labour, but due to the splendid stupidity of our political system, power fell into the hands of three sneaky fucker independents who gave australia to gillard. She cheated her way into leadership.

Actually 2PP 30,527 more people voted ALP

-Enormous difference in literacy rates
-Differences in culture
-Tamils in Sri Lanka are ethnically different from most central and north Indians if genetics is a factor
-Sri Lanka just finished a period of gross civil unrest recently and thus had a completely different environment to India which is by comparison in a politically stable position

+ the study is 15 years old,

North Sri Lankan Tamils have the potential to make a huge contribution to Australian society.

Would neg.

 

[Registered User]

bullshit

I agree.

 

[Registered User]

North Sri Lankan Tamils are being slaughtered to death in Sri Lankan by the chauvinistic Singhalese dominated Sri Lankan Government. The Sri Lankan Government has utter contempt for the Tamil people. The Tamil people in Sri Lanka are being persecuted by the blood thirty, sneering amusement to the slaughter of innocent lives at the hands of the Singhalese government.

But why should Australia take them? If we keep taking these people Australia will keep getting worse and worse. We are not a charity.

it is absolutely not controversial that australia has a higher average IQ than Sri Lanka

jesus christ

 

[SylviaB]

and sri lankan refugees in Australia, which is what we are talking about? What's their productivity like?

We have no way of knowing, but it would be stupid to assume its above the mean.

You're assuming that their productivity in a nation of political turmoil, lack of resources and recovering from what was pretty much a civil war will be the same here in a country with enormous access to resources and facilities.

Why is it that all the low-IQ countries are like this in the first place? You might consider that you have the causal relationship backwards.

spare me the burden of proof bullshit. You claimed that there are more than enough people here to occupy "average" jobs, so show me.

You claimed that we need more low-IQ people, so you prove it.

Why not? Why can't you judge a person's merit in entering a country on a person by person basis?

YOU LITERALLY FUCKING SAID IT YOURSELF.

Lol the IQ for Sri Lanka was determined by the IQ of surrounding nations in that study since there was no actual data on Sri Lanka, that is grossly unreliable, particularly as statistically speaking Sri Lanka has an enormously higher literacy rate than India etc. so you would expect the average IQ to be higher as well. There are a tremendous number of factors that weigh into IQ and it's stupid to judge the average IQ of a nation based on that of surrounding nations

So you're saying Sri Lanka is the only nation in the whole region that doesn't have an IQ significantly below Australia? How convenient.

North Sri Lankan refugees believe in the transforming power of education. North Sri Lanakns value human capital and individual aspiration very highly just like their fellow Asian comrades such as the Chinese. I know a lot of North Sri Lankan Australians who go to James Ruse Agricultural High School. I also know a lot of North Sri Lankans who do Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws at Universities. Australians need to show more compassion to refugees who have a lot to contribute to the Australian economy and our way of life.

elite sample sath.
Showing more compassion to refugees?? That does NOT mean becoming a welfare whore.

It's called mateship, the fair go and international solidarity. The fair go must be shinning forward providing hope, reward opportunity for all Australians.

 

[SylviaB]

Hey! If we bring in a bunch of people who built a country as wonderful (read: godawful) as Sri Lanka, they'll make such wonderful contributions! We have much to learn from the glorious nation of Sri Lanka!

 

[SylviaB]

Funny how Sri Lankans are like this genius race and yet they still haven't worked out that having ten kids when your country is poor and overpopulated isn't such a great idea.

Wtf is shinning?

oh you mean SHINING? righto.

A fair go and international solidarity can be achieved without bringing sri lankans into australia.
