We don't need a large defense force if we organize an arms reduction treaty with our neighbours.

Why has my point been lost in this thread?

You all sound like war mongers.

Actually your point was pointless

My point is that you're a war monger.

Just because someone serves in Australia's defence forces doesn't make them a "war monger" usually quite the opposite.

The worst kind of hypocrite is the gutless wonders that sit with the women and children denegrateing those who serve and protect, throwing out mindless insults thinking that no-one will notice their cowardice.

Booby that is you, and it makes you look pathetic

OK -

BigOl is a capitalist, fascist, war monger.

Have you read at history book, we are all war mongers.

Also have your heard this before, Si vis pacem, para bellum , it means if you want peace prepare for war

My argument is that we should have an arms reduction treaty
with all our neighbors & if not we should increase our military spending.

That's the deal - but we have to try for a treaty first.
At least it makes us look honest.

Probably best to leave it alone, though my school was modeled on the English 'cold showers' and basic food, prefects with canes, "6 of the best", and so on.

like I said, fond memories.

Yours was Cheam perhaps?

Good Lord, no! Nothing so vulgar and low rent.

Put it this way .. I used to chat with Prince Zaid of Jordan when his body guards weren't around. Cool

You're privileged to have me here, gracing this board. Tongue

Mmm, interesting, Herbie.

Now, Prince Zaid of Jordan is aged 49. I believe you've mentioned before that you're in your late 60s. That is quite an age difference and somehow I doubt you were at school at the same time, unless of course you've been telling porky-pies about your age? You devil! Wink

Prince Zaid attended Reed's School, Cobham, Surrey, in the UK. Those who attended Reed's School are known as "Old Reedonians". Reed's School was an orphanage originally.

So, which house did you belong to? Blathwayt, Bristowe, Capel or Mullens? Do you still get your copy of The Reeder? Grin

Yes. However as has been pointed out by Gwynne Dyer in his book, "War", what it invariably results in instead is bellum si vis para bellum. If you want peace, you prepare for it, not war.

I prefer Captain Starlight's motto, Доверяй, но проверяй (trust, but verify). Interestingly favoured by both Ronald Reagan and Felix Dzerzhinsky, found of the Cheka.
