As a relatively new subscriber to DSTV I recently discovered repeats of old episodes of "Border Security: Australia's Front Line"
I have watched the show mostly with great interest, particularly to see how drug runners try and get into their country. Besides the fact that so many of them caught, come via here, but that's a debate for another day.
I know a lot of the regulations, thanks to my wife working in the shipping industry, and my opinion is that the laws are very necessary, especially when it comes to quarantine. Because I am usually not able to catch the episodes on DSTV, due to my son keeping me busy, I went to have a look at what was on YouTube and watch some of the video clips.
What surprised me a great deal was, the comments that some of the brain donors, the world over, have to say about the people in the video clips. Here and there you will get an intelligent response from someone with 1/2 a brain, but in general, the first thing to come up is to diss Australia, calling it a "backward" country. And if there happens to be black people in the video clip, they sensationalize it by putting ANC style bold text all over the video clip and play the race card.
Then we have comments like these about the actual employee at the airport in the above video clip:
That officer is smiling because this guy could be her ticket to her job promotion, what a lame bitch!
And then this choice one:
i've lived in Canada, American and m now living in Australia. Like i said to a lot of people, Australia , being a develop western country, still has a lot to learn and catch up with the rest of the world, racial issue is one of them.
I think, what happens in sunny old SA is nothing compared to the rest of the world's idiots who shouldn't have internet access, but do. Actually proves how screwed up the entire world is
