loosers called to kill for the state..loosers murder in war[if there is no direct threat to you or your family..[your the invader].your going 'off' to kill

your wife loves being a widow
and kids..love growing up..without a father
and dad..well he died long ago[forget in what war]

close the war book now
we dont need the final chapter
we know how it ends[in a wimper..not the big bang]

dont volenteer to murder
others children

Dear Individual,

Well I guess there's nothing more to be said between us.
I genuinely believe in the most fundamental values of
Australian society - our commitment to justice, egalitarianism
and a "fair go" for all. That was the way I was brought up.
You can't seem to understand where I'm coming from - so I
shall leave you to your opinions. I'm saddened that you
think so badly of me however, because I had previously thought
that you were open to different points of view - apart from
your own. That's why I bothered to interact with you.
Anyway, I wish you well.

Here’s an interesting little addition to the multicultural debate:
“He blames the British liberal opinion-making machine for these distortions, and argues…They have helped build a culture of grievance in which being offended has become a badge of identity, cleared a space for radical Islamists to flourish, and made secular and progressive arguments less sayable, particularly within Muslim communities.'”

“ Multiculturalism has helped foster a more tribal nation and, within Muslim communities, has undermined progressive trends while strengthening the hand of conservative religious leaders. While it did not create militant Islam, it helped, as we shall see in this book, create for it a space within British Muslim communities that had not existed before”

Have to agree with rehctub, betya gramps was thinking of this sort of outcome when he went off to fight.
Come to think of it, I’ll bet many of the multicultural enthusiasts didn’t give it much thought either

Lexi we agree with you, mostly anyway.

We want a pretty similar style of Oz to what you do.

We can see this woman, Gillard, & most of the rest of her mob are laughing at you & your mates, behind their hand. They have nothing in common with you, & never will have.

Remember she's the one who said, "Why give the pensioners anything, they don't vote for us". That is the woman you are defending so valiantly. Why?

I'm sure you would not approve of her, if you just opened your eyes, & saw her for what she is.

lexi and Belly,
You cannot blame a media beat up for this one. The government commissioned the report which says the commemorations may not be received well in our multicultural society. I am particularly incensed by the words "Commemorations should be culturally sensitive and inclusive". The only cultures that need consideration are Aussies and Kiwis for this event.

If some others take exception to us remembering our fallen and the sacrifices of our service personel, then I say 'stiff cheddah'.

The media has reported on a government report which is offensive to most Australians, and quoted extracts from it.

Should the media not report on issues that may embarrass the government or that the majority of us take offence to?

Banjo my point is the fools who put this report together just make it up.
Will offend many, often do, but has truth value?
Some females are in need of a look at the real world.
I see extreme lefty woman here, in the making of this report.
IT WAS WRONG! to blow it up and feed fools who see a threat not one of us would stand for.
It came from white Anglo Saxons, not migrants.
Just as years ago the womens brigade took Christian Crosses out of Sydney's biggest hospital.
Our people not migrants.
Now we can rant,say they would behead us for doing that in their country.
BUT WHY? no Migrant said this look for truth.
Sorry but some of those involved in this report should be home cleaning and cooking.
Second thoughts not cooking ,haveing baked this up they lack that skill.
