Dear Is Mise,
I'll read yours if you read mine: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-28/death-symbol-ban-not-political-correctness/9696674 Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 24 May 2018 4:52:55 PM

"so all men will be reeducated to go to the toilet sitting down."
http://www.informationng.com/2013/06/europe-to-ban-men-from-urinating-while-standing-3.html They say comedy is dead because its impossible to think of a ludicrous social scenario that the 'progressive' left haven't already staked out. Posted by mhaze, Thursday, 24 May 2018 5:14:50 PM

Come on Foxy.
You can't expect adult human beings to read ABC propaganda, that is going too far. Posted by Hasbeen, Thursday, 24 May 2018 5:15:11 PM

I read your's Foxy,
"But most of the banned symbols are imported from overseas. These banned totems have very little, if any, Australian lineage." Obviously, the author of that didn't read the 2nd link that I gave you. Here's the caption to the photo. "AWM Caption: KARAWOP, NEW GUINEA, 1945-09-18. THE SKULL AND CROSS-BONE FLAG, THE PRIDE OF 2/6 CAVALRY COMMANDO REGIMENT. ON EVERY BEER ISSUE DAY THE BOYS CROSS BOTTLES BEFORE THE FLAG. IDENTIFIED PERSONNEL ARE:- CPL K.E. WILLS (1); CPL C.T. CRAWLEY (2); SGT J.H. SIMPSON (3); WO 2 M.J. HODER (4); CPL O.A. POMROY (5)." (AWM, Australian War Museum.) It was easy enough to find, maybe it was a little inconvenient for the author. Perhaps the "Rising Sun" emblem will also have to go, symbolizing, as it does, offensive weapons of war. Then there is the SAS badge, golly! a dagger, now that symbolises death if ever anything did. Guess it'll have to be Campbelled as well. Hasbeen, Occasionally one has to make a sacrifice!! . Posted by Is Mise, Thursday, 24 May 2018 5:43:51 PM

Whitlam became PM because of removing conscription. The war heroes since are being picked according to their computer skills in an office some distance from where the real heroes toil.
Bring back a National Service with the option of transferring to the armed forces if the aptitude is there. If nothing else a national Service will go a long way towards the gimme,gimme mentality which is killing this Nation. Posted by individual, Thursday, 24 May 2018 5:49:17 PM

Try this for a bit of tradition in the Australian forces.

The Skull and Crossbones use has a long tradition in military circles and long predates bikie gangs.
"It appears that what happened in 1915 and the 1940s
under conditions of war - does not apply
in the everyday functions of today's
military."
You are joking now, I hope!!
