First they came...

[munster]

With full respect to Paster Martin Niemöller (1892 -1984) who's original poem commented on Nazi Germany in the 30's.

First they came for the physio patients, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a physio patient
Then they came for the sexual abuse victims, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a sexual abuse victim
Then they came for the motorcyclists, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a motorcyclist
Then they came for the rugby players, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a rugby player
Then they came for the cyclists, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a cyclist
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me

Watch ACC is on the march!

Pastor Niemöller's original poem

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I thought the lady was supposed to come first?

Women aren't capable of coming, Its a feminist myth to bolster there crazy claims of equality.

However they can cook and clean, and most can be fantastic at it....sometimes it just takes time and guidance,and the odd backhand.

Sounds like a topic suitable for Mr Veitch on Radio Sport.

And after today's 3 news item

First they came for the physio patients, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a physio patient
Then they came for the sexual abuse victims, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a sexual abuse victim
Then they came for the motorcyclists, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a motorcyclist
Then they came for the skateboarders, and I did not speak out - becuase I wasn't a skateboarder
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me

I can see this growing to quite a few lines when ACC are finished.

I can get this printed as a small bill board, with the ACC version on top and the original underneath, I found that Warehouse Stationary in Wellington can print one off posters in colour, to quiet a large size, reasonaly cheaply, or cheaper still in black and white, then you glue your poster onto a backing board, and give it a cote of a clear gloss paint, that will give it a little weather proofing, ask the staff nicely and they will let you type up a what you want on their computer, then it is just a case of getting it sized to the size you want.
Most printing companies should be able to do this as well.

[Hitcher]

This is silly.

At least women can come and come and come and come again :rofl:

[Hitcher]

It's about time somebody came for Niemoller. I'm sick of him.

What about correct grammar and using capitals where appropriate?

It's too much to wish for. The BDOTGNZA is realistic on this matter.
