Dear onthebeach,

You wrote;

“you don't seem to think that 25 counts of sexual intercourse with a child aged between 10 and 14 are serious offences. That is something you might care to mention in the flesh where men are present.”

Oh I would love to have you put that accusation to me in person and we really should see what might be arranged. Happy to pay for that ticket my friend.

I will add what an utter guttersnipingly cowardly thing to say. Not something I would have thought anyone here would stoop to, but perhaps expected from someone who has a record of harassing female posters off threads in this forum.

There are some other posters you address as males here whom I know are women, but it is not something I would ever reveal to you because of the unwanted attention you would devote to them.

Dear Banjo,

I thought the protection of children from rape might have been considered a universal concern but if you want to keep those concerns local then fair enough. We are dramatically increasing the number of US soldiers who are operating on Australian soil, especially in the top end. Is this something Australians should be worried about given the record of US servicemen in Okinawa? Are you able to assure us all that no Australian child will be sexually interfered with by these men? If you are then I will cease worrying.

Dear chrisgaff1000,

I am sorry to hear about the suffering of your father not only during the war but also subsequently through your childhood. I too had a father impacted by military service and it is a tough road for any family.

For you to have posted what you did gives an insight into the hurt and anger you still hold. The following story is about two of my great uncles and it is not given to pass judgement in any shape or form but just to be taken for what you deem it is worth, if nothing that is fine.

They were both taken as POWs after the fall of Singapore, both managed to escape and were recaptured and treated very badly. Both were warned what would happen if they tried again but oldest chanced his luck and ended up being beheaded on a beach on an island to the south.

The younger brother hated the Japanese with an absolute passion and regarded them as subhuman. This only seemed to grow as time went on.

He was riding his motorbike through the Tasmanian hills one day when it struck him that it was that mindset that allowed so many Japanese to have such little empathy for their prisoners as treating them as subhuman.

It seemed such a revelatory moment that the silly bugger went and became a preacher but that is beside the point. He ended up far more accepting of the Japanese, even meeting some of their ex-servicemen.

However it can be easier for those directly impacted to extend forgiveness, sometimes it is us offspring who struggle more because we feel it would be a betrayal.

All the best mate.

Yuyutsu,

Thank you for your detailed explanation. That was decent of you. I don't agree with your ideal. Further, it is unreasonable to expect to take what suits from our democracy and State, while maintaining a separate enclave within that refuses to accept the rule of Australian law for instance.

SteeleRedux,

What a rant. You wouldn't be the recently departed poster Poirot reincarnated would you? A 'sock puppet' as they say. LOL

What isn't funny are the lengths you go to to excuse and defend an alleged foul grub who sexually interfered with a 12 year old minor. You were desperate and cheeky enough to use an obvious false analogy in you attempt to divert other posters and muddy the waters. Being caught out for it you resort to ridiculous ad hominem. But your defence of that grub is here in B&W. It is here as a public record of your lack of empathy for the victim of a horrendous crimes committed against her.

Once again, you are a disgrace for defending and excusing cruel disgusting violence that stripped a minor of her innocence forever. Worse, you refuse to have him deported after his custodial sentence if found guilty. That would put others at risk of a rock spider. You have a lot of gall to try to bluff it out where only an apology and withdrawal would do.

SRD an oldy but goldy! the extremes and the lost left will try any trick to tell us we need to think as they do.
Japan and the rapes by a few US soldiers is nothing to do with this thread but nearly, as you wished, changed the subject.
The left is lost and a parody of what its founders thought it was about.
Increasing numbers are asking how can that lost tribe ever support or try to hide lack of woman,s rights?
A certainty haunts me, this religion ,some of its insane followers will kill in my country.
It is their nature, their ticket to a heaven that does not exist.
And note my leftist opponents, they are promised a reward 73 virgin sex slaves!

Steele,
Frankly, I could not care less if you worry about the presence of US troops on our soil. You only introduced the matter as a strawman anyway. If and when there appears to be a problem, I will look at it then.

The simple fact is that I cannot 'save the world' and so put my energies into local matters. We have more than enough problems here to keep one occupied.

I now note that one migrant women's group says that hundreds of underage girls are sent overseas to marry and that they are 'shopped' for on facebook. Apparently, it is claimed, they return with a spouse who is then granted permanent residence. This is something that is worth further investigation, as well as underage marriage here. I wonder if money is exchanged for the 'bride price'.

These are Aussie girls being used for an advantage.

Dear Banjo and Belly,

I was in no way intending to deflect blame from the student nor those who may have facilitated this including the so called 'cleric' who thankfully is being charged.

My first post here included;

“I would expect a full investigation of the circumstances around what has happened to the young girl. One that would not only look at the actions of the student but also those involved in the marriage ceremony. If they knew the age of the child and were party to what occurred then they need to be held to account.”

What I am objecting to is using the actions of a non-citizen to smear a whole group of Australians. Do we judge all US servicemen with the horrific child rapes and murders that occurred in Okinawa? I wouldn't have thought so since that would be unfair and stereotyping. But you lot are intent on doing just that here. You tell me the difference.

Dear onthebeach,

I may well be Poirot, perhaps you might like to find out, are you still keen to put your allegations to my face? I am interstate quite a bit so this is my email steeleredux123 at gmail.com, lets catch up for that chat if you like.

Just need to sort one thing out. Are you on any form of medication?

The reason why I ask is when you say “your defence of that grub is here in B&W”, and “you are a disgrace for defending and excusing cruel disgusting violence that stripped a minor of her innocence forever” and finally “you refuse to have him deported after his custodial sentence if found guilty” when I patently said no such thing, even given the most broad interpretation of my posts, tends to indicate someone a tad shy of fully capacity.

If you are confusing me with Yuyutsu you might be forgiven, even though they said little to warrant those accusation either.

If all is okay in that department I look forward to hearing from you.
