Another chapter in Guy Goodwin-Gill's campaign to sanctify the rights of religious fundamentalists.
The writings of a predaroty wolf camouflaged by a flag of humanitarianism.
A further plea for the continuation of existing rights vested in the Vatican, in the bible belt of the USA, and in like-minded Australian politicains, to deny women of the world the option of controlling their own fertility.
Has he no compassion?

It would take a mobile army of all nations to be sent to places where refugees have their backs to the wall, to settle disputes and actions by despots.
It would take more goodwill that has ever been shown by any race.
Until then, the pressure of "refugees" will be placed on the backs of western nations who ,having signed treaties , are obliged to take on the world's deperate,poor, needy plus the opportunistic and greedy.

Once again, Ladies and gentlemen, once again. A person who wishes to solve the world’s overpopulation problem by having every Third World misfit immediately buy a boat ticket to Australia, lifts his tattered banner from the mud and lurches forward to march again for his lost cause.

When people who think like Guy Goodwin Gill start raving on about “ends commensurate with human worth and dignity”, you had better go and hide your wallet.

Mr Goodwin-Gill (oh gawd, those double bunger mouthfuls of names sound so-o-o pretentious), also thinks that Military action should be used against states that create refugees. I wonder what Greenpeace would make of declaring a crusade on behalf of refugees? Is starting a war now politically correct?

Onward Greenpeace soldiers, rightousness has won.
Youth and trust both make you, easiest to con.
[Deleted for profanity]

There is one other little matter that Mr Goodwin-Dill has not thought of. If the UN were to “intervene” on behalf of the Tutsi’s in Rwanda, what will we do when the Hutu’s say “thank you” and then return the compliment to the Tutsi’s? Invade the place again?

What is it like down in the garden with the fairies, Greg?

We all saw what happened in Somalia when the UN intervened against the Somali warlords to stop the entire Somalian population from starving to death. The starving Somali’s sided with the warlords who were starving them to death. Is the world stupid enough to go through that farce again? Greg Goodwin-Gill apparently thinks so. But I doubt if the Yanks will allow themselves to get sucked into another UN declared fiasco where they get to save the lives of less than grateful millions who show their appreciation by dragging dead US helicopter pilots around by their heels.

Unsurprisingly, Greg finally gets around to that hoary old todge of “human rights’. The only human right that Greg is unconcerned about is the fundamental right of every nation to decide who crosses it’s borders.

• If this forum is as good as Australian social and political comment gets then we are truly up the creek. Australian progress and democracy can only rely on the intellectual and humanitarian capacities of those it serves.

Hi, redneck!

I am sure that lots of posters would love to read the rest of your Greenpeace ditty that was censored. Do you have an email address that I can contact you on?

Another idea would be to re-post the ditty with asterisks in the right places. I am sure the more intelligent posters could work it out.
