Dear mhaze,

Oh so now you are going to pick up your bat and ball and sulk off?

What a tosser as they say in the classics.

As to your claim the article is saying there was “no intention” of Germany going to war look at your own bloody quote from it, (with my emphasis):

“So, FOR THE TIME BEING, anyhow, the blitzkrieg is off, for the simple reason that the German army is not capable of executing it. "

And this was suppose to support your position and not mine? What idiocy.

Finally I took a passage from the article rather than reproduce the whole 600 plus words. It was a continuous piece, not snippets of a bunch of quotes. That is perfectly acceptable and the fact that you are attempting to make a diversionary song and dance about it shows just how desperate you are. To frame it as selective is just inane.

This is far more than you ever supply to backup your own arguments.

Really mate you need to give it a rest, you're not even making sense anymore.

Perhaps SteeleRedux is a bit of a classic...

Dear Canem Malum,

Nothing like a little snipe from the sidelines to brighten your day huh?

In case you are unfamiliar with the meaning of tosser it usually refers to someone who talks up big but doesn't deliver.

Why it so aptly applies to mhaze in this instance was because he deliver nothing in defence of his position even though he so stridently put it.

Part of it will be because one of his idols in Menzies was shown to have been a prolific defender of both Hitler and Mussolini and revealed a propensity for totalitarianism.

On the subject of skilled workers, imagine if the bulk of Public Service bureaucrats were to be Govt supporting instead of Labor supporting. Imagine the state of the economy & this Nation in general if all the political bias of these people was focussed on the incumbent administration !
That's why I am such a strong advocate for a National Service so that only those with some sense of responsibility & integrity can join the Public service.
It can simply not be argued that a term of NS would not be beneficial for all living here.

So Indy can we count you in for Seniors National Service? Me thinks not.

Paul1405,
Yes, but can we count on yours ?
