Aiden, stop pontificating, we all know what she meant !

Bazz, if we all know what she meant, why did you accuse her of meaning something else?

Aiden what are you on about ?
She made the comparison, and if you cannot see what everyone else
saw then I am sorry for you.

Bazz,

You and ttbn made the ASSUMPTION that she was making a comparison, and hence reached the ABSURD conclusion that she thought the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia was preferable to that in Australia.

Whereas anyone who didn't make that assumption would come to the sensible conclusion that she was making the point that our ability to criticise countries much worse on human rights issues is damaged by our mistreatment of asylum seekers.

Aidan,

Why don't you simply state your hatred for Australia and all Australians who disagree with you and find somewhere else to live? You are making yourself miserable and everyone else fed up to the back teeth with your incessant whining and carping. I could not bear reading another of your miserable posts, and I will not. You are a serial pest.

ttbn,

There you go sgain making ludicrous assumptions!

I don't hate Australia at all. I made a commitment to Australia when I became an Australian citizen more than twenty years ago, and since then I've never wavered in wanting to see Australia succeed, nor in wanting to make it even better.

And ou seem to be displsying much more hatred to those who disagree with you than I ever did.

If you can't bear aving your delusions shattered then I suggest you avoid this board. But I think my going away and leaving your false claims unchallenged would make Australia a worse place.
