Dearest Foxy,

I apologise and take back my remark about feminists 'in the distant future' :)

Love,

Joe

My, my, how the tables have turned. I was waiting for something like this after the 18C kerfuffle.

Perhaps we should create an '18C' for anyone who insults those who have fought for our freedoms, or diminishes what they have done?

Too much? The cognitive dissonance levels in here just shot through the roof.

Sorry.

Struth, what a bunch of pathetic whingers yz are! Some of the posters here seem to be advocating the fascism that many of our soldiers died to protect us from!

There's nothing wrong with highlighting the fact that conflict and human rights abuses are still ongoing. Yes, it was rather insensitive to do so on Anzac Day. But she has apologised, and that should be the end of the matter.

This is Australia, where everybody should be entitled to freedom of thought and speech.

But there is a time and a place. It's not wrong to voice an opinion that the treatment of asylum seekers is immoral. But she did it the wrong way, on the wrong day.

The human rights abuses on Nauru are appalling, but the Western Front was worse. I've been, and I've seen the beautifully kept war cemeteries, and I've read the tombstones. All of the inscriptions are heart-wrenching to read, but the worst and most common is 'Known Unto God'. Those were all the poor bastards whose bodies lay so mangled and broken that they couldn't be identified.

A day when we stop to remember those poor souls - one day out of the year, unless you also honour Remembrance Day - is neither the time nor place for pushing your own political barrow. It's just not cricket.

What is there to remember about Palestine, a State that promotes hatred and the annihilation of Jews. What are we to remember about Syria? A sick society that murders innocent children.

Misguided Muslim propaganda.

A "punishment" more in tune with her own beliefs...an old fashioned (just a light one) stoning perhaps for the blasphemous talk demeaning our Glorious dead and on ANZAC Day no less ? Goodness me, cartoons demeaning Allah have resulted in worse.

But of course the Emily's List & PIE Network member support cadre along with the Land Rights for Left Handed Harp Seals crew, via their ABC mouth piece would cry foul if anyone dare challenge their agendas.

So it's more of the same from the creatures in number 700 Harris Street, Ultimo - "We set the bar for what is OK and what is not on any form of media, and you taxpayer fools dare question us ?"

Stay tuned to this channel for the "anti muslim" rants being levelled against anyone who even suggests her comment/post was anything but what it was.
