Of course that was just too tough on those who deliberately chose to become drug users and in more 'enlightened times' are now considered as victims. But victims to what exactly? Their own self interest and the one eyed stupidity that goes with that?<br /><br />Your analogy with the people smugglers would shoot over most 'refugee advocates' heads. They know when they are on a good thing and they intend to stick with it. As for the illegals themselves, there is nothing to stop any government from rounding up those who have arrived here since 2008 and shipping them all back to where they came from. All it takes to do that is political courage which our current crop of career politicans all seem to lack.<br /><br />A good thinking man's article!Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345412268251500273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-63597909641145856332011-12-20T16:21:56.765+11:002011-12-20T16:21:56.765+11:00I notice Sarah Hyphen is in the Silly today, defen...I notice Sarah Hyphen is in the Silly today, defending her party's position on illegals. Glad to see she got what she deserved in the comments section that followed. Australians are not sitting by silently any more.<br /><br />See here<br /><br />http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/blogs/gengreens/greens-drive-change-in-momentous-year-20111219-1p27b.htmlMarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-82074041536315054072011-12-20T14:40:16.118+11:002011-12-20T14:40:16.118+11:00The adults stick kids on unseaworthy vessels knowi...The adults stick kids on unseaworthy vessels knowing their lives are at risk. It's one thing to take stupid risks of your own but something completely different to inflict such a risk on other dependents. There is too much publicity surrounding these incidents for ignorance to be pleaded as an excuse. Charge them with negligence resulting in death.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-4047900261150778642011-12-20T12:38:44.064+11:002011-12-20T12:38:44.064+11:00Set up forced labour camps ,any illegal gets a man...Set up forced labour camps ,any illegal gets a mandatory 10years and deportation at the end of that period.

The extent to which this occurs of course will depend on the perceived attractiveness of the rewards offered, but neither operant nor expectancy theorists would quarrel with the essence of this notion.<br /><br />Nevertheless, numerous examples exist of reward systems that are fouled up in that the types of behaviour rewarded are those which the rewarder is trying to discourage, while the behaviour desired is not being rewarded at all."Walter Plingenoreply@blogger.com
