I really don't understand why one would willingly read about these horrors.. like Auschwitz, having knowledge already. It seems to be a sort of wallowing in the foul deeds of others. Thats why I prefer fiction. It can be horrific, and even based on factual circumstances, but it is still , not real.

. I know the history, like many of the atrocities committed in War(s), and find no personal benefit from reading about them as you seem to.

There are enough monsters in the world today, shirley, without looking to the monsters past, however recent in relative time.

Horror is very real and present in the world today, so when I read about it, I prefer to know what I am reading is fiction.

I don't apologise for that... I've had real horror in my life .. now I'd prefer a quiet life.

The male psychology differs from that of the female in matters such as this. There's a lot more of the ghoul in we males, and I think at the heart of its reasoning is that we want to learn as much as we can of these horrors so that we ourselves are better informed to prevent these things happening to ourselves and our families.

Knowledge is Power.

It may also one day save a life or two.

Knowing the nature of the enemy and the depth to which he will go to achieve his aims is a learning experience that has practical application in defending ourselves against this kind of enemy.

Shying away from that which is distasteful to our moral senses is precisely what the Leftwing are doing about confronting the 'Islamist' threat the West is now under.

Through ridicule, sarcasm, trolling and graffiti there are men with female psychologies on this forum board who are forever trying to deflect their 'Rightwing' antagonists from taking the 'Islamist' threat seriously.

These are girly-men for whom the threat of Violent Islam is so terrifying they would rather ignore it as 'the elephant in the room'.

I say Herbie, thats a long bow to draw from my post.

I can see the argument you so facilely put forward.. knowledge is Good.. ''... 'cept my friend.. we , as humans, HAVEN'T learned a thing from it as far as I can see.

Well at least it's fresh and topical.

Does 'Peace in our Time' sound a little more to your liking than 'A Call to Arms'?

I can't stand the bastard - but I'll vote for anyone who has the foresight to see that stocking up Western nations with yet more annual quotas of Muslims is a recipe for future generations having to deal with de facto alien nations of Mohammadans within their own homelands.

Not at all.

Policies is what is important to the male voting public - not how handsome he looks and how suave his manner as it is with you girls who swoon over Malcolm Turnbull, John Kennedy, and the rest.

Women don't buy newspapers - just ask any newsagent.

I wouldn't have anyone voting until they've reached the age of 30 when they have at least a little life experience behind them.

What we have now are millions of women, spotty teenagers, and 'young adults' who don't know sh*t from clay about the issues of day - fronting up to cast a vote that cancels the vote of people who make an effort to understand what they're voting for.

And then there are all those university students voting ... 100% Leftwing brainwashed Socialist imbeciles ...

Sorry to be persnickety, but it is their world ( to bugger up if they wish). Don't hold your breath while older generations save it; they had their chance.

Hear Hear.!

I am currently reading what is surely a vision of a pre-apocalypse world..

one of many powerful works by

James Lee Burke.. a true son of good ole' Louisiana, whose novels look into the heart of the Bayou.

I read , and realise that the characters aren't in fact caricatures, but true.

Horrible and mind-blowing all at once.. you see the good and the bad that exists in every human.

Wrong!

We older folk aren't ready to be warehoused yet! In the 50's we had the formula right. Socialism wasn't a rampaging bushfire as it is today.

The kids still had respect for their elders built into them.

There really was a Conservative Party in both the UK and Australia - not the faux 'Tories' we see today that are nothing more than the rightwing of the Labour party.

Crime was still a punishable offence that attracted decent sentences that fit the crime and met the expectations of the public.

Hangings wuz still in fashion in them days. (Good morning, Bobby. I trust you slept well?)

Politicians were still thinking in terms of prioritising the needs and wishes of their indigenous voting public - with a care for preserving the generational identity of Western nations.

Schools were still being taught the 3 'R's - and were unashamedly monoculturally Anglo-British or Anglo-Australian without any PC knee-bending to 'multiculturalism' in the classroom. There was one flag on the classroom wall - not a dozen to 'represent' the immigrant kids there.

There were virtually no mosques, no hijabs, and no city streets blocked with hundreds of aliens kowtowing to their foreign god.

The police did their job without any let or hindrance from 'cultural sensitivity' directives.

A man's wages was enough for the wife to stay at home and look after the 2.75 kids.

Politicians took their instruction from the public - not the other way round as it is today.

Universities didn't turn out graduates who needed to do an English Grammar (and spelling) evening course for 12 months as a pre-condition for being accepted as an apprentice legal secretary in a law firm.

... and the rest.

And then the universities across the Western World fell into the hands of rampant socialists who were only a tiny minority of the total population - but just as with Islam today, these radicals dictated the agenda to the exclusion of any one else 'getting a look in'. Their influence was complete.

They predominated in key positions - with the result that they developed highly successful socialist 'madrases' within these campuses which produced clones of themselves on conveyor-belts that led to positions of power in politics, the media, the law courts, the teaching professions ...

The 'Long march through the Institutions' had begun .. with the result that we see today.

The politics.?? That is your cause for all that is bad in the world.

Much of what you say will draw sympathy from us older folk.

BUT Herbie, you have to accept that this is the '15's.. 65 yrs on from your remembrances of yesterday, and Jeez you must be a real old fella.!

We face a whole different set of circumstances today. The past cannot be revived. Like it or not.
