Like most Aussies I was raised to respect our diggers that fought for us and am proud to honour their bravery and the hardships they endured.
However because the offensive comments on Anzac day were made by a woman it reminded me of the massacre of 22 Australian nurses on Bangka island during WW11. In brief, a hospital ship, clearly marked with a red cross, left Singapore shortly before it fell to the Japanese. It was loaded with wounded and women and children. It was bombed and sunk. The survivors managed to make it to Bangka Island and contacted the Japanese army. The nurses were caring for the injured on the beach as best they could. The Japanese separated the men from the women and shot and bayonetted the men. they then set up a machine gun on the beach and ordered the women into the water until about waist deep. They then machine gunned them. They then bayonetted the remaining injured on the beach. One nurse survived and although wounded she spent the next 3 years in a prison camp. With the offensive comments made by a woman, I cannot help but think about these brave and caring nurses that died so tradgicly. The full story is easy to find, just google nurses massacred by Japanese. Posted by Banjo, Friday, 28 April 2017 8:17:03 PM

Hey Joe,
"I think we've established pretty well that nobody has the right to break your jaw, just because of what you say." No, not legally I accept I shouldn't have called it a 'right' in the way I did, but I'm talking realistically. Do you think you could walk into a bikie clubhouse and say "I heard you blokes are all homosexuals" What about walking down a Muslim Street on a loudspeaker saying "Mohammad would be locked up for pedophilia if he we alive today" All legal; but do you really think you're immune from harm or won't be harmed? Just because one believes another has 'no right' to do something doesn't mean they can assume they are immune from harm. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. You might for example foolishly assume that you have some 'right of immunity' that allows you to get in another mans face and scream at them (a yeller) without getting retribution, but I'm telling you there's many blokes out there in the real world that wont put up with that for long. Milliseconds. You even acknowledged my point: "if you do provoke someone to break your jaw, or a group to give you a real good kicking for some insulting remarks about their mothers or sisters..." It's more or less what I first said - The 'I did your mum' clause states that 'You CAN exercise your right to free speech' but be aware that the other person can also 'exercise their right to break your jaw' and in your example that would be mine. Some argue Yassmin had the right of free speech, I say she does not have that right if that includes denigrating 'Lest We Forget' on ANZAC Day, and if she thinks she enjoys the right to express herself that way then she deserves everything she gets, end of story. Furthermore, I'd bet money that right now she's angry and trying to find a way to to twist it around and blame us, because that's her style. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4240714/Q-Muslim-Yassmin-Abdel-Magied-Islamic-Hizb-ut-tahrir.html Anything else; I don't really care.

//but do you really think you're immune from harm//
I guess you feel pretty safe from harm, sat in front of your computer with your anonymity to hide behind. It appears you've never heard of hacking... //if she thinks she enjoys the right to express herself that way then she deserves everything she gets, end of story.// Keep digging, wife-beater.

Ex-copper Chris, once again showing a propensity for violence.
"This woman should keep her mouth shut before someone exercises their right and shuts it for her" I recall your claim on the forum some time back that as a gung-ho constable. or whatever rank you held, your though it sport to throw gays into the Parramatta River. Violence begets violence. Ah! those good old days when coppers were kings! Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 29 April 2017 6:40:24 AM

Haha! Yeah, my grandfather used to throw boongs and Jews into the Brisbane river. Oh, how we’d laugh. Posted by AJ Philips, Saturday, 29 April 2017 7:43:43 AM

its just that they then have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
This woman should keep her mouth shut before someone exercises their
right and shuts it for her, but then they have to cop the consequences of their actions.
Catch 22
