Not only is he doing nothing about combating the situations in Africa, but he is actively fighting against programs to help people out.
The Vatican and the Pope are anachronisms that need to...
you always hear about how bad this war was. The numbers of people killed and the futility of the attempt.
The "sense of nationalism" is simply the fact that the Australian people were shocked at how many people were killed - and through English 'mismanagement" of the attack.
hmm...maybe...
What have you based this statement on? From my experience it is the complete opposite of what you are saying. Goto the war memorial in Canberra - not a lot of glorifying going on there.
Listen to speeches on ANZAC day - not a lot there.
As dry rot said - check out the war memorials in...
Of course we do - which is why we should learn about it, and keep remembering those that died there. It isnt a glorifying of war - it is a remembrance of the dead.
it is a way for those of us that have never taken part in a war to remember those that have - and so long as we remember the reasons why they were there I dont see the harm in it.
You may see the occasional jingoistic gesture, but they are truely few and far between.
Correct - and the next question should be - "why are these laws needed?" Because homosexual people are more likely to discriminated against based on their sexuality, whereas heterosexual people are not.
How is giving homosexual people exactly the same rights in regards to civil conventions...
Here and there...no where really interesting though, mores the pity.
Who exactly is paying you back with karma?
It is still a punishment/reward cycle. The fact that there is no clearly defined authoritarian figure doesn't change the basis nature of the threat. "Dont do it, or you will...
no, but many people who claim to speak for that religion based on those texts uses them as "evidence". It is clearly not "evidence" on the existence of god, any more than Tolkien is evidence for the existence of short people who like to pick your pocket and tall fairies.
Exactly. Total lack of...
Yes, I believe that it personal responsibility that is the important thing in life. Not acting the way you do because you fear the punishment of some being that may/may not exist.
It is merely the "unenlightened" that have to resort to having a father figure looking over their shoulder to...
Jesus H. Christ on a goddamned pogostick!
Go away for a year, come back and this same old shit is still being spouted by the same old morons.
Get over it people, move on. Find some new material to drag into your conspiracy theories.
even if it happened everyday, you shouldn't resort to the sort of actions the priest did. After all, it is exactly these sort of conditions where priests tell us to "turn the other cheek", isn't it?
He should have called the police, rather than let it escalate like he did. Poor judgement on...
and that justifies his reaction?
I used to have to ask people to move on everyday (as I am positive you did). Does it give you the right to racially abuse people? Nope.
well, speaking for myself, I am not a member of a congregation (let alone a supposed leader) that prides itself on "turning the other cheek" and profesing to be an order devoted to loving thy neighbour.
Should the skateboarders have reacted like that? No, of course not. Are they ****heads...
If what I have written is incomprehensible to you then maybe you should take remedial english classes.
Will you answer the questions posed? Or will you attempt to squirm away again?
If that is your best attempt at showing i want troops to remain, then you might want to consider changing your argument.
The simple fact of removing troops is only part of the issue. How do we make sure that the government of iraq is up to the job of securing peace in iraq? Removing...
Show me where I have said the forces should stay?
So, we remove troops, and thats it eh? great exit strategy you have going there.
And what happens after, Nostro? That is what my original questions asked - or did you totally miss that in your rush to misinterperate my post?
