It used to be a fairly common phrase when someone keeps raving on about some place, someone will finally tell them the above...
And, obviously, Chinese do this with regards to many countries.
Perhaps we even heard it when talking about China...
However. what happens when the country you're in makes it illegal to go back there.
Or even for others to visit it.
The prime minister of Australia just made it illegal for people to travel to Syria or Iraq unless they have an 'official reason'... To me, that's a seriously gross violation of human rights. Especially in light of the above attitude... that is, we often say something isn't right in our country, so if people want to do something, then they need to go elsewhere... follow our laws, or leave...
Isn't this a way to force people to remain subject to the local laws?? (sort of like certain countries not allowing its people to get passports...)
Your thoughts?
I think that the logic behind this has something to do with the fear of ISIS trained/indoctrinated fighters coming back to Australia and planning attacks after receiving training in Syria.
Well, Chinese can't really go back to being Chinese once they give up their Chinese nationality. Well I don't think they can, I think they can get special visas though...
But anyway... if a Chinese person says that to you... just tell them that you will go back home when all the Chinese in your country return to China. That usually shuts them up.
As for the restrictions on traveling to these countries... who wants to go there anyway? I mean, you MUST have a good reason if you want to go there... I think they are just afraid of terrorist groups capturing some moron (like the one Chinese guy) and then having it turn into a media circus.
ada... if you murder someone in China, and flee to the US, the US won't automatically do a damn thing to stop you. The Chinese authorities must make that request to the US authorities. Usually, the US authorities will take the request seriously, and do something about it...
Now, if you committed a crime in China that's not a crime in the US, how do you think that would go down?
B) if you read a little more carefully the things I wrote, I haven't directly indicated (I think) which side any of this refers to. Our govt has just said "It's illegal to go to Iraq or Syria except with an 'official' reason". So, it hasn't made the distinction between fighting for or against ISIS... Which is part of what sticks! I am not allowed to view the amazing history of these countries, cos they say so... to me, that's fucked up!
I say lt them go to Syria
then they are not allowed back as the will no longer be Australian citizens
I see today that Iranian backed fighters have put a bounty on the capture of Australian terrorist fighters .
I would be better if they took another option and made the problem go away
as for that religion from China
I do not know enough about it to comment on it
