Dear Paul,

There's quite a bit on the web that has links
to the Korean war. Headings like - "What we
learned from the Korean War," are helpful.
And if anyone wants to start a discussion on the
topic - it could prove an interesting one.

In the meantime, my suggestion is - there's no point
in arguing with people who are reluctant to modify
their judgements. It usually ends up with
a total breakdown in communication.
Wars are highly emotive subjects.
The moment that a historian begins to look critically
at motivation, circumstances, context, or any other
such consideration, the product becomes unacceptable
for one or another camp of readers.

Regarding the Korean War - there are enough links on the
web - on the subject - for anyone interested in the
aftermath.

Best to just move on.

Foxy,

"...there's no point
in arguing with people who are reluctant to modify
their judgements..."

So true!

Did you not post on p.1
"At least the postal survey told us what we already
knew via opinion polls. That roughly 6 out of 10
Australians were in favour of same sex marriage.
And now it's official."

Nowhere is there any indication that roughly 6 out of 10 Australians are in favour of SSM and this has been pointed out to you numerous times and yet you have persisted in pushing this misinformation.

As you have looked into the Korean War a bit perhaps you could help Paul to find something to back up his observation that the Korean War divided the Nation more than the SSM debate.
Best of luck!

Is Mise,

Let it go.

Foxy,

Why should I?

When the truth of the matter is that less than half of the Australian population voted YES,
not roughly 6 out of 10 but, in fact, roughly less than a third voted YES.
Why should one let lies/deliberate misinformation pass?

Do give Paul a helping hand, perhaps you, with your experience as a librarian can find a reference for him and get him unhoisted from his own petard.

Is Mise,

Becaue Sir, Nobody is lying
or giving you misinformation. It has been explained
throughout this discussion that it was 61.6% of
eligible Australians who responded with a "yes"
vote

Hi Foxy,

When the dog is gnawing on a bone, the only way to get him off that bone, is to throw him a bigger bone, well done Issy.
