Why don't  you go back to Murfiistan, then? What keeps you here, exposed to all the dreadful the Britannic inheritance? Why not be equal to your confected outrage and pissoff? Why are you still here?

Three  Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima ring any bells? Bikini Atoll? These people poisoned themselves. We've had a reactor at Lucas heights since 1958.

If we're going to delve into ancient history, the Brits gave us Lachlan Macquarie, for which we should be forever grateful.

Everyone makes mistakes in hindsight and it is far easier to criticise from a future perspective. In your opinion, would it have been safer to test nuclear weapons, given the political climate at the time, in say, Kent?

One wonders if you ever saw Pick-a-Box on the TV.

How about you answer your own question and also address why you seem to be implying....ie....that it was far better for the Poms (as is obvious) that they destroy a part of Australia and kill off some Abos and Diggers, than test their own schit in their own Country.   Our interests did not count over theirs.  Is that it?

Apart from the abolition of slavery, the common law, Westminster democracy, the steam engine, Protestantism, mechanized agriculture, the English language, the exposure of foreign cultures, the public health system, the welfare state, and the constitutional monarchy....

What have the British ever done for us?


Colonialism, slavery, stealing the wealth of third world countries, Genocide, perverting historical records to hide their crimes.


They brought peace.... most of their law they turned against the Whiteys to keep them in line... look at what they done to Ned Kelly...  you didn't see that done to them Kaffirs out there who weren't even considered citizens, do you?

Face it -the Blacks were irrelevant and the British at least brought some peace to their little warring bands fighting over kangaroo rights at the billabong like savages ...... pounding on their womenfolk in more way than one .... everywhere the White Man went the Blacks were enlightened.. sometimes physically by mixing genetic material...... you know... coupla years out there in the donga and every Gin looks white as snow.... same colour inside and Whitey didn't beat 'em up as much.

Not a girl over fifteen in Moree has her front teeth... they're whupped out of 'em .... and an Aboriginal I respected told me that..... died of a heart attack at 42.. poor buggar...



There aint nothing more peaceful than a dead man.





That is the message that ISLAM promotes too.

How come you know so much about ISLAMIC ways   Unforgettable ?          Tongue


"ISLAM ES PAZ"


IMAGE.....
...


Everyone knows that true ISLAM, is a religion of peace.

Which question were you referring to? The one you snipped?

Don't waste my time. I was responding to Unforgiven and his statement. Any comment on Macquarie?

Address the OP.

You'll never get sense or reason from a TROLL Lionel.

I note no-one has refuted my list...  just as well...  but they seem to obsess over the Nuclear Test which the australian Government was part of and allowed.  Mind you the US tested theirs in their backyard in similar areas...  the Brits didn't have such a choice.

Yes, the old boy did say this.

He's the only one here with the right to be outraged and not pissoff, no?

One place for here in the cool .. one for the hot season, capisce?
