what a waste of time

you are no more sorry than the insurgents that killed him. otherwise this wouldnt be in the politicians suck forum..

you are a political prostitute..using another soldiers death for your abominable political point scoring..

Tragedies like this are a glaring example of how Politicians suck.
Politicians start wars and young men and women fight them.
There was never any need for the Afghan war to go any longer than it needed to grab Bin Laden and when we consider that he died in the early days of the assault we should have got out then.
The objective of the invasion was achieved a long time ago so why are our young people still dying there?

What a sick comment, but this is so typical of the righteous right. They have no morals themselves, yet look for imaginary slights in the posts of their opponents.

We know why this war was instigated and which PM signed off on it. If the occasional thread is dedicated to a digger who lost his life through lies, not only by our own government, but our allies also - it's well deserved regardless of the nasty slant the RW's choose to put on it.

The digger could have been one of our own children being used as cannon fodder to help the multinationals and corrupt politicians become wealthier.

Hypocrite!

Scores of people died on that boat - and people of your ilk had no problem with politicising their funerals at the height of their relatives' grief...

FFS, your lot made the funerals out to be a Muslim issue - despite the fact that 5 of the 8 people who were buried on Tuesday were Xtians!!!

Your lot sought to highlight the dangers of 'leaky boats' as the actual tragedy unfolded (and then cynically-capitalise on this again in the frenzy of confected outrage over costs when they were buried) - how is this much different to using the occasion of a soldier's tragic death to highlight the risks, costs and follies of warmongering under false pretenses!?



PS I made no secret of my agenda in starting this thread - as evidenced by the thread title, I am seeking to highlight the partisan and bigoted hypocrisy that has become rife in this country!  That is also why I started this thread in the political sub-forum, rather than the general boards - and it is doubtless why your lot start so many anti-Islam/Muslim and 'illegals'/'boat people' threads in the same sub-forum!

The slight difference is the digger knows the risk The installer didnt appear to

Doesnt make it right

In both cases, the victims were doubtless following orders to some extent...

not to be too insenstive but soldiers JOB is to go into harms way... INsulation installers job is to go into ceilings....

a little different.

Just cross-linking 2 parallel threads (started in different boards)...

Re: Australian Soldier Killed In Afghanistan.

Quote:

One dead soldier.

Imagine if we were seriously involved in a real war and they were rattling off the names of twenty, thirty or forty dead diggers each night.

Sh.it Happens !





over and over and over

the worst part of this is that politicians will go through their script speeches. something like ...

-joe blow was a 'brave soldier, but we must stay the course by sacrificing more young lives to honor this dead soldier's sacrifice.

underlinging message :
we must provoke and fight wars so we can feed the war machine all you tax dollars, while we argue over $5 a week ... and how bad these muslims are ... while Australians are dying for a corrupt Muslim government in Afghanistan.

The Greens should be summarily deported from Australia - this country and the environment cannot sustain the financial cost of keeping them here.

no your not sorry thats an excuse and you know it, you have a worse mouth than bettestreep had.. and thats saying something.no I have never attack labor at your level, and you would put that up here if you had the evidence you are without a doubt the lowest form of life on here.

you even start a thread about a dead soldier and then go on to twist it to bring in politics and now something totally unrelated..boat people..

how bloody caring is that..hypocrites like you hide under the sham of a bleeding heart... no way do you get away with it this time.you can go back to your rock.because thats what you really hide under.

Did the former Australian PM send those Germans to war as well?

cods wrote on Feb 20^th, 2011 at 3:37pm:



Good point - and I'd also like to acknowledge the Afghani interpreter who tragically died alongside our Digger overnight - along with his grieving loved ones...

The mods on here are occasionally better than useless - but not often. they need more mods and shock-horror, mods that are actually online more often than occasionally.

longweekend58, your last post has me baffled.
Harder to understand than solving a cryptic X-word

hawil wrote on Feb 20^th, 2011 at 4:56pm:


You are officially an idiot. Please move to the nearest totalitarian regime (there are plenty to choose from) and be the only moron to do so.

You clearly have not the slightest idea what democracy is or freedom for that matter. Has it not occured to you that the RICHEST countries on earth are democracies and that that is no accident? Could it even occur to you that the reason for poverty and inequity is predominantly the LACK of freedom and choice?

hawil wrote on Feb 20^th, 2011 at 5:38pm:


as a logical point-by-point rebuttal, your posts lacks something. You clearly have zero idea what democracy actually is. It seems you want it to mean 'free stuff' for you and yours.

longy I think it should be up to the people that post rather than a moderator who lets face it can take sides if they are labor leaning they are hardly going to see anything wrong with them are they? and vice versa..if we report them then that should be enough.. some of the abuse on here is so pathetic I find its best to ignore they dont like being ignored either.they think they are brilliant..lol

longweekend; this is what the Dictionaries say about Demcracy.

Democracy : The Australian concise Oxford Dictionary.

Definition:a system of governmentby the whole population; a Nation so governed; “a classless and tolerant form of society”

The Chambers Dictionary:

A state of society characterized by recognition of “equality of rights and privileges” for all people, political,social or legal equality.

Plutocracy.
A government by the wealthy, or society governed by the wealthy, a ruling body or class of such people.

Adj. Pluto-democracy, “a wealth dominated Democracy”

The last would be very descriptive of Australia.
