Why are we still struggling with gender equality? : Comments

By Conrad Liveris, published 5/3/2014

However, we face a growing gender pay gap and lack of political or economic will to really change this. We've been stagnant, and at times regressive, over the past twenty years.

Poirot, the difference between the Nazi camps and this one is that the residents caused the "bloodbath" (1 dead) not the operators.
Hardly comparable.

You can take migrants out of the Third World but...
You can't take the Third World out of migrants.

Shocka,

I haven't mentioned NAZIs.

I called them concentration camps because they meet that definition.

You're obviously still working to the script of Morrison's initial pressers...because a whole lot of witnesses have made it fairly plain that the attempted massacre was due to outsiders being let into the camp. The inmates were attacked inside the perimeter - and it appears the only people attacked, injured and killed were detainees.

So you can stop with the spin.

(But we're way off topic here, so my last post this thread on the subject)

Poirot "I haven't mentioned NAZIs."

You just use a term inextricably linked to them (Google it), and whose meaning was changed by such association.

You could simply call it an internment camp.
But that wouldn't have the "evil racist" association.

If anybody "let in" the "outsiders" (note: outsiders, not the camp operators), it was the inmates, who were already rioting (not the first time either), pushing a fence down.

It's a little early for you to claim any certainties about what happened.
The events are still under investigation.

Okay, Shocka...internment camp...whatever.

And I'm sure you're 100% correct in your theory that the detainees took one look at the hordes outside wielding weaponry and snarling in their direction, and thought "Hey, why don't we let 'em in and see what they do to us!"

Yeah, right....

Poirot, "And spare us your faux offence on behalf of those tragically lost in the Holocaust. (I'm wise to your common tactic of angling for outraged sensibilities)"

You are shameless.

Your allegation that Australia runs 'concentration camps' is contemptible and malicious.

BTT

otb,

Here's the faux outrage - again.

"Your allegation that Australia runs 'concentration camps' is contemptible and malicious."

How about you show a bit of outrage for the fact that Australia presides over camps of this nature.

The UN appears to consider them a blight.

These camps are shameless...and so are you for defending their existence.
