Paul1405...

Is that really you, bobbing around aimlessly in the toilet bowl? Not a brown piece of faecal matter, no perhaps green - nope, I don't believe so? It's more like YELLOW! Well how's that, a 'yellow' piece of faecal matter, with the most nauseating stench of rancid cowardice pervading throughout the space.

You know Pauline1403 you really should avoid laying about on the pathways, and adhering yourself to the soles of people's shoes. Otherwise they might be moved to present you with a 'white feather' the ultimate symbol of humiliation & insult

o sung wu,

I notice that you have demoted Paul 1405 to Paul 1403. Do you intend to reduce him to just Paul:).

Hey o sung wu, while it is unpleasant to think we once risked our lives to make the place safe for these nasty clowns, don't let their garbage upset you.

It is their modus operandi to use unpleasant needling to try to get under our skin. As they have nothing real to say, it is all they have.

Don't let it get up your nose, the lot of them aren't worth even a minutes emotional upset. Just let it flow, & laugh at their stupidity.

I have recently taken delivery of a drone, with all the camera gear & FPV goggles. These allow me to fly the thing as if I was a pilot again, flying a real aircraft in the pilots seat. This is only a toy, but it is obvious how, scaled up the modern remote controlled drone is a serious weapon.

I'll see if I can become as good with one of these as I once was with the real thing. That is unlikely, but I should become competent enough to be useful if necessary.

Incidentally I saw a joke the other day, I'm sure you will appreciate. Two pilots were discussing their day as they walked away from a hanger. One says to the other, I got shot down 4 times today. The next frame shows more of the hanger & the sign saying "JINDIVIK Remote Control Target centre.

Well these remote controlled things are no longer just targets, but a serious weapon, & you are safe back in the hanger.

Stay safe mate.

o sung wu,

You asked a question earlier;

If a Beirut style war were to occur here in Australia, do you think Muslim ADF personnel would be prepared to take-up arms against a fellow Muslim?

As a participant in the murderous Vietnam War, you could possibly answer your own question. How did the Americans coerce so many Vietnamese to join with them in the annihilation of so many of their fellow countrymen. What was the secret, I suspect it was the use of mercenary payments. Was blood money the incentive, and would not Muslims act against other Muslims in the same way if we offered the very same kind of inducement.

Hi There Tony LAVIS...

Steady ol fella...just sit down quietly, and have a nice cup of tea, it was just a question nothing more, certainly nothing for a gentleman such as yourself to become so emotionally distracted. Moreover I'm far too old to do any 'whining' - in any event, it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Toni, whatever the topic is we're rarely allowed the privilege to hear very much from you, other than a couple of 'one liners' here 'n there, which are nevertheless appreciated without doubt. It would be nice therefore to hear much more from you, rather than these isolated ad hoc sentences? You're obviously well read, therefore it would be good for you to share some of your opinions and views with us?

Hey Foxy,

"We're living in very dangerous times - we're seeing
threats to our democratic way of life - there's an
increasingly rapid slide of the Australian right
towards tribalism. As I've stated previously - what
used to be formely fringe and discredited ideas fro
the edges of far-right discourse is finding its way
into the conservative mainstream."

I keep telling you Foxy you're a victim of propaganda.
When people say these things over and over has the ability to make people like you believe it, because its been droned into you.

Why do you get the 'Far' in 'Far-Right' groups from?
Show me - not some chinese whisper bs where someone said that someone read it occurs somewhere in Alice's Wonderland.
Show me actual evidence of it.
SHOW ME.

To me - You need EVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST INNOCENT CITIZENS - to justify the 'Far-' prefix.
Now 20 or so years ago, there might've been groups of skinheads getting around bashing Asians - but where is that going on today?

Show me where there's groups of Australian nationalists routinely targeting foreign looking people and acting violently against them?

I'm not saying they're arent any far-right, I'm sure there are.
But I'd be willing to bet the people you label far-right are people who are just exercising their RIGHT to express their views in a manner that is covered under section 18D of our racial discrimination act.

It's all a bloody lie.

What we do have is far left groups claiming victimhood to shut down free speech, and they are attacking innocent people and succeeding in shutting down that free speech.

I get to say more or less ANYTHING I want here.
Do you think I can enjoy that luxury anywhere?
Well I can't.

Do you think your mainsteam news informed me or opened my mind to think carefully about things the way I do?
It didn't.
