Dear onthebeach,

'Squirt'

;)

I know, I should not post this.
For the sake of OLO I should turn the other cheek.
We are streets ahead in respecting each other, it may not appear so, but visit other forums.
Some think we are different in our life here, than in the real world.
I am not, oh yes when confronted with a heedless, needless trouble maker in real life, maybe for the first time, I walk away, if I can.
Here is my view of truth,*Runner, any one who see,s me as a lefty* is a dangerous person or lacks the ability to see and hear, thoughts other than their own.
While sickened by the actions of Labor right, my home till now in the party.
I too am and have been for most of my life sickened by and the enemy of the very left.
As much an enemy as I always will be, to the Tea Party type right of the Liberal/National coalition, not all, but some live there.
Runner talks and acts like the dangerous Beast it is,extreme right users, not followers of Christ.
It must be remembered when calling Islam to account for its actions.
At least some of us thought Boston may have suffered, at the hands of equally insane right wing Christians.

'Runner talks and acts like the dangerous Beast it is,extreme right users, not followers of Christ. '
and you Belly speak like a ex corrupt union grub who plays with the truth.

O Sung Wu. Lt Colonel Potter retired thinks the USA is in very dangerous time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yRbjSJlom4 He makes very emotional speech saying how forces within the US Govt are fighting for control.

Presently there are impeachment proceedings against Obama.Many think that Obama is close to imposing martial law and establishing a dictatorship.

Runner I feel your bigotry speaks for you.
No need to continue verbal combat with one such as you.
If you are brave enough, confront your self, re read your own post history.
I left my job, rather than be ordered by a fool, not to properly service my members.
Truth may be insulted by folk like you, but it remains a meassure I except every time.
You however dare not, bigotry is unChristian.

o sung wu,

As you might agree, it is far easier to cause public offence in Australia than in the past. Political correctness and hysteria invoked by populist media have seen to that. Toy cowboy guns in shops carry luminous red muzzles and noticeable blocked ends.

Interfering busybodies are now licensed by political correctness to regularly lose their wits and phone the police if anything vaguely resembling a firearm is seen anywhere. Even the decades old field pieces outside RSLs have drawn the ire of gun control zealots. There is the lunacy of having to obtain a licence for something already set in concrete for years with the breech removed and other mechanisms welded.

School cadets used to used to carry the Lee Enfield .303 in public, to be greeted kindly by a society that recognised full well the sense of civic duty and pride of the boy carrying it. There were no violent obscenities committed by those earnest youths.

Like NZ, Australia has always experienced very low gun crime. There never was a case of anyone other than a criminal brandishing a firearm. Back then criminals discouraged one another from doing that too. It was simply not done except by stupid amateurs who it was thought ought be arrested for giving other crims a bad name and too much police attention.

The drug trade and imported gangs changed that. Thanks to Al Grassby and others.

In answer to your wondering if a fool who says he is not going to give up his arms etc would be arrested in Oz the answer is that he would be laughed at, as no doubt happened to that idiot you referred to in the US. The serial pest would be visited by the boys in blue when they got around to it and told to pull his head in. He is a joke, right enough? Continued stupidity would result in firmer but judicious action. Idiots like that are seeking publicity so why help them out would be the thinking.
