Saltpetre,
sanctimonious tripe. Go to the shopping mall, the footy, the beach, the pub or on an Australian sex holiday to Thailand, or just watch Today Tonight and learn about Australian values. Just because we have an ideological saturnalia once or twice a year, it doesn't make the mythological values we celebrate real. Please don't think it's easy for me to poor scorn on emotionally charged days like today, I'm easily moved to tears too, but I refuse to be taken in by all the hype, whether it's religion or patriotism. Patriotism is the first refuge of a scoundrel and religion is the last, the bastion of the hypocrite, and the churches are full of them. Posted by Squeers, Monday, 25 April 2011 7:22:00 PM

Philo as much of an embarassment Jim Wallace comments where today for you, negates any quality or meaning if any; to his character.
Aligning yourself to this person does not give you credit, in debate. Posted by Kipp, Monday, 25 April 2011 8:24:44 PM

Since Jim wallace is ignorant of this fact, I will tell it to him, I will incidentally be also telling runner, a supposed human I think undeserving of the information, so be it.
My ancestors fought in wars to protect *first and foremost* their family, their descendants (that's me and mine) from vermin who think that might makes right and that their trivial preferences like goose-stepping or worshipping at this-or-that altar are important. Got that Jim? (and poor ignorant little runner). That means *you*. Had you been in Germany, you would have been a goose-stepper too, no doubt. It would appear the Catholic church did not find Nazism sufficiently reprehensible to *not* offer cooperation, provided they could (of course) continue to milk their flock. A great moral bastion is "chistianity". I'd think I'd really rather the next candy-wrapper flying down the street. Couldn't be worse. Keep it up runner, with advocates like you, the churches should be empty in but a few years. Rusty Posted by Rusty Catheter, Monday, 25 April 2011 9:51:18 PM

Squeers,
"Patriotism is the first refuge of a scoundrel"; So protecting family as Rusty posted makes his ancestors scoundrels? He said "My ancestors fought in wars to protect *first and foremost* their family, their descendants (that's me and mine) from vermin." Obviously his ancestors were fighting within a national force, to protect themselves from abhorent values he identifies as vermin. Patriotism is fighting for thr things one loves and values - so Rustry's ancestors were scoundrels in your view. I think you owe him an apology! You are a shallow thinker quoting others lines.

This attitude belongs in the Facist thirties, not in the 21st century.
