Thread Name: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
So again, I say, give me a hypothetical here WAV. An asylum seeker from Cuba trying to enter the US should be helped to what nearest safe country? Again I ask, what if said nation does not seek, nor want asylum seekers? Again I ask when, since you contradicted yourself, you determine what factors constitute allowable genuine asylum? You are the one who said it, I'm trying to fill in the many blanks you have left. You are saying within your certain rules, in your case England, should allow asylum seekers, but in other cases, a deliberate choice would be made to send an asylum seeker elsewhere. SOmewhere with a similar culture, since you feel that is the most important thing. What if THAT culture exists only within the country someone is fleeing from? Then what? And, like the chicken and the egg, or what is folk, how do YOU propose to define what that culture is? Is it language only? Ancient culture? Music? Cinema? Architecture? Fashion?

Keep digging that hole WAV.
