Foxy, "the ash heap of history" is littered with utopian fantasies that denied reality.

You are an advocate of the most outlandish utopian fantasy of all time.
But it will be different this time?

Dear o sung wu,

Even those that have "sinned" can be forgiven. Like Paul on the road to Damascus, John McCain had in later life reached his personal point of Nirvana. Unlike some who still wallow in the wrongs committed in the past, McCain was able to unburden himself of those shackles and make a positive contribution for the good of mankind. We should all be thankful for that.

//at one minute// fifty years is hardly at one minute although you seem to be trapped in the year 1967 and cannot move on. Yet there is still hope that you too will unburden yourself of past wrongs committed, and reach your own personal point of Nirvana, and become a better human being for it.

o sung wu,

Some lead by example - others by opinions.

Shocker,

"There are winner and losers. Every dystopia is a utopia
for somebody else. It just depends where you are.
Are you in a class that benefits or are you in a class
that does not."
(Ken Liu).

The history of the world proves that when the haves do not
share with the have-nots, the have-nots always rise-up.
We who are the descendents of those who had not, we rose
up to a new life for ourselves and our children, we must
now recognise our challenges and responsibilities. We must
do unto others as we would have them to unto us.

G'day there INDIVIDUAL...

Thank you for your kind support, I will admit his barbs struck it's target in one of his tirades. Where he made an irreverent reference, to a close mate killed in Vietnam, and my former partner who killed himself with his own gun. But hey, that's the way he plays it. Imagine if he'd said it to my face? Well he didn't, and thats that. Lucky for me I guess, but not quite the way he might think?

I do wonder how these blokes back in the conscription days, who wilfully used every ploy available to them, to avoid being conscripted, how they can ever face the male members of their family, particularly those who served during a period of war?

Can you imagine for a moment, the loneliest day in the year for our PAULINE1405? Yup, you got it - ANZAC Day.

Another thing I find intriguing, he lambasts everything and everyone, who took part in the Vietnam war. Yet on the other hand he describes the late Senator McCain as an 'outstanding human being'? Which is it; does he only despise infantry personnel, combat engineers, UH-1B & D pilots, all of whom served over there...or is it just me?

I reckon the answer's plain. He doesn't like anyone to openly reveal & disseminate his level of cowardice, in such a public arena as The Forum. Especially as it was so cunningly obscured, by his effort's to fallaciously and untruthfully claim; he was a bona fide conscience objector?

INDIVIDUAL I'm not sure whether you're aware, there were many consciences objectors who served over there. Some were crewing the regular Dust Off's, bravely putting themselves at risk, clinging to the litters, taking blokes back to 1st Field for emergency treatment. A hazardous duty, and they were never required to fire a shot. Ask me to hang out of a Huey belting along at tree top height, doing about 80 KTAS, while unarmed I'd reckon you'd be mad?

Again, thank you for your support INDIVIDUAL. Though somehow, the Lefties won't allow you to forget it, regrettably.

Foxy "a new life for ourselves and our children"

But not for the entire world.
We don't owe the world anything.

Trying to share limited resources with a never-ending influx will mean *we* end up being the "have-nots".

If you want to improve the lives of others, do it in their own countries, with your own money.

Hey Paul1405,
McCain's a total scumbag, and I for one am glad he's dead.
- He can't do any more harm now.

AKA 'Johhny Wetstart' caused the fire on the USS Forrestal.
AKA 'Songbird' sang like a bird in Vietnam broadcast on Tokyo Rose; - then sold out the other POW's.

And that's before we even talk about his support for rebels and terrorists in Syria, Libya and else where, Bulgarian arms factories, illegal weapons shipments that ended up arming ISIS, and that he profits from the wars he helps start.

- And who knows what else in between...

The man was nothing short of the grim reaper.
The planet should literally hold a global celebration in honour of his passing.
