Paul,

Glad you find death and human misery funny when your mate Vlad is doing the pillaging and killing.

If Ukrainians were like Gazans I'd be a fervent supporter of Russia's invasion. As it is, Ukrainians don't make it their life purpose to murder Russians.

Hi Fester,

You gotta laugh sometimes, the world is crazy. Yes, its irreverent the amount of needless human suffering in the world. Unfortunately we can all be callus at times. Take Trump, profited by placing bets on when he would kill Iranians. The Zionists, and how dismissive they are of the real human suffering they are inflicting on the Palestinians. There are many other horrible examples.

"Glad you find death and human misery funny when your mate Vlad is doing the pillaging and killing."

I call you out as a liar on that statement, find one word on this Forum where I have said I am supportive of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a pacifist I condemn all militarism and all murders in war

"As a pacifist I condemn all militarism and all murders in war"

So you would have opposed Australia fighting back against Japan in 1942? Murdering all those innocent Japanese on the Kokoda Track?

Hi Trumpster,

Unfortunately war happens, do I condone war... NO! Do I agree with war... NO!

I believe in the diplomatic path as a means to avoid conflict, I certainly don't agree with the killing of innocent civilians as YOU do in Gaza, seeing them as worthless expendable collateral damage.

True self defence is an option, but I stress self defence. Wars are complected events they don't simply spontaneously erupt.

"opposed Australia fighting back against Japan in 1942" If I did, I would be on the side of the Nazi admiring Pig Iron Bob Menzies, aanother folk hero of your's, and founder of the LIBERAL PARTY, look up the 'Brisbane Line'. No wonder 4,000 to 5,000 Nazi's were able to flee Europe and settle in Australia with impunity under a Menzies government from 1949 to 1961. Watched the doco on SBS last night.

"look up the 'Brisbane Line'."

We had a discussion on the Brisbane line myth a while back on these pages where I was able to school you on why its was a myth that it was a Menzies idea or that anyone took it seriously. It was merely a strategic option that was floated by the military to be used if the Japanese ever landed on Australian soil. But it became an ALP electoral myth and Paul always ALWAYS falls for ALP myths.. Why am I not surprised that you forgot that?

But it seems Paul would have been in favour of fighting the Japanese. See even self-preening pacificists are able to see sense occasionally.

Hi Trumpster,

I'm not going to take a history lesson from a bloke whose only achievement at school was a 'Smiley Stamp' from Miss Bigens for his crayon colouring in the 3rd Grade. YOU never opened a history book, a fact that they didn't teach history in the remedial class at your school.

Nothing to say about 4,000 to 5,000 Nazi's migrating to Australia under the Menzies Government? Nothing to say about Pig iron Bob tripping off to Nazi Germany in 1938, and returning with nothing but praise for National Socialism. Nothing to say about Menzies selling pig iron to Japan to make bombs to kill tens of thousands of the Chinese, and later Australians!
