You have no reason to feel guilty about being abrupt with them. There's also no law in Australia that I'm aware of which says you have to answer your door in the first place. Tell them to fuck off. You can do that. They'll usually go away, and if they don't, get the garden hose out.
You can't tell a suicide bomber to fuck off. Well, you can, but he'll blow you up anyway. |
If having manners and treating everybody with a minimal level of respect means I'm funny, then sure, I guess I am. There is a major difference between assertive, and aggressive to me. Being assertive towards strangers is socially acceptable, being aggressive is not acceptable to me.
But all the talk about suicide bombers is just ludicrous. As I said, I have not head of any cases of suicide bombers doorknocking looking for a victim. Even in Israel, perhaps the most likely place where that might happen, I have not heard of it occurring. Not have I head of any case of a suicide bombing occurring in retribution for somebody refusing to convert to Islam.
