I ran into one of these type of people on Friday, jeez they make my blood boil...
Sorry to go over old ground but it has really got me this one
Just my rant
Forum whore
My Grandfather gave most of his adult life in the navy, he was at the battle of the river Plate, and he was on the Leander when it got torpedoed. He spent time in Korea too.
That shit makes my blood boil too.
Out of interest, I would have enlisted, but he wouldn't let me. Said enough time had been given.
He passed away a few years ago, a very cool guy.
It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
The Sharif don't like it!
Fucking muppets.

Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.

They are on their way to becoming good Labour Party members - one may even progress to become the next woman Labour prime minister

How does that quote go "Too intelligent for their own good" more like too fucken thick about passed history.
Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
The instructions are simple...
Disgusting!! doesn't quite do justice to these retarded knob-ends. The Reds and Greens will be smirking and rubbing their filthy paws together at thought of these potential new members. For that is surely where these pricks are headed.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
One, two free, floor!
'tards will be 'tards... and they tend to point themselves out from time to time.
This would be Exhibit A your honour...!

Hmm.
Christ sakes you lot.
You don't have to get all up in arms about a fucking wreath.
Secondly, ANZAC day IS pro-war, if it were anti-war we would be saying "Those poor souls, we should have never gone to war in the first place. Such a waste."
instead of
"We honour the people that fought and died for the freedoms we enjoy today."
War isn't a GOOD thing, but it is very necessary.
I don't need a day of remembrance to thank our soldiers for what they have sacrificed for us, I can thank them any day I like.

Like the second Boer War? Pointless imperialism really. Nethertheless those men and women went and died for King and Country, they were willing to give their lives, shouldn't they be remembered?
I've never thought of ANZAC day as pro war, or met anyone who does.
Hmm.
Necessary in general.
The instructions are simple...
Of course it isn't a good thing. Don't know about 'necessary' but it is inevitable.
Still, ANZAC Day has never been about glorifying war. though. It is the official day for remembering the sacrifices and bravery of those who went against an aggressor.
To use your logic, why celebrate a birthday, wedding anniversary etc?

I don't understand how some people can so badly miss the point.
ANZAC day is based on the worst military defeat in our short history - Gallipoli.
It stems from a time that was possibly more anti-war than now.
In 1920 we'd just been through the "War to end all wars", and NZ had come out of it with one of the highest per capita casualty rates of any belligerent.
How could this be construed as "glorifying war"?
Fucking idjuts.

We're talking about trendy rebel against the man psuedo intellectual student types here. Even if they had enough braincells to comprehend the point, they'd refuse to do so on general principal.

Yeah, you can, but do you?
No way are ANZAC day celebrations pro war, the're about rememberance, honour and nationalistic pride.
If you had ever been to an ANZAC day service, people DO say "...those poor souls, we should have never gone in the first place".
We did, we had to as responsible global citizens, and we paid dearly for it, the bare minimum we can do is remember and honour those that fell once a year officially.
To see any one, especially an educational institute that should know better, respond this way guts me.
I'm a returned serviceman, my family attended a service on Saturday, and they all know why.
Interesting to note, services are getting more and more attendance, especially by families, I wonder why?
