We overcome fear by embracing acceptance

Yesterday I raised concerns about overly zealous politically correct influences that I don’t believe are helpful to promoting the “get along attitude” that most Australians have.


What most of us enjoy is a  “get along attitude” because it is more accepting than mere tolerance that is promoted with a divided and fragmented community.

After yesterday’s comment I got a message online from one of my friends who thought I was getting caught up in a media beat up and even fabricating some hysteria about an issue that he doesn’t think exists at all.

Now the reason this person doesn’t see the intolerance towards others in the same way the rest of us see it is quite simple.

He gets along with other people, including those who have different religious beliefs to him, he doesn’t just tolerate them, he accepts them and often as friends, like most Aussie do,

But that doesn’t mean that Australia’s freedoms and cultural icons, the traditions and cultures that we know and love aren’t under attack and don’t need defending.

What makes Australia a better place is the freedom to celebrate religious celebrations openly and freely and for us all to embrace each other in acceptance.

and if some whinger or politician or administrative panel or public servant writing a memo tries to tell us we can’t celebrate those beliefs openly for fear of some fictional person taking offence....tell em to

Good parenting and good community relationship doesn't see colour or religion

I want to say at the outset today that I am not impressed by global Muslim blood sacrifices of animals in the streets in many countries this past week.

It is part of their religious practice and I think since we hold religious freedoms to be important then we have to respect that.

Aside from differences of beliefs, some people do discriminate against people who are different to them when they don’t understand those differences.

Over the weekend those who are of the  Muslim faith kept their religious Hajj festival, but when you hold a party like that not everyone respects those around them trying to get to sleep.

From the outside, to neighbours, it looks very much like a Maori Hangi, a Greek name day party or a bang up Aussie BBQ.  just without alcohol
When you live in a community with other people.
It doesn’t matter what religion is or your background is, discrimination can go both ways.

Say perhaps if you invite  30 of your friends to party loud and late into the night
and the parents don’t know what their young boys are doing up and down the street

Don’t worry about them, they say, they are good boys...just being kids....
