ANZACs and war and stuff

You could always give the video a watch Ed.

Ed's reply 'Did you miss the bit where I said I watched it?'

I guess that shows the lights are on but there's nobody home.

It's the drugs

Nah, that's just Ed's standard response.

It certainly doesn't mean he actually watched it.

Back more on topic I discovered during a visit to St Pauls that General Sir Ian Hamilitons remains are incarcerated in the crypt. Bearing in mind his appalling generalship at Anzac Cove ( sending many needlessly to their death ) I was disgusted that he is amongst truly worthy war heroes.

To be fair it was Churchill's plan - instigated against advice from those who had a lot more sense.
That he is regarded as a worthy war hero disgusts me.

Is it Stalin's home town, that is practically a huge memorial to him? Whomever it was, (I only saw a little bit of the docco and my memory sucks), seems pretty sick to immortalise monsters thus.

That is Gori in Georgia.

They took down his statue in 2010. The pro-western President said a statue to Stalin had no place in the Georgia of the 21st Century.
A senior Communist Party official queried "How could they treat the memory of a person who saved the planet in this way?"

Interestingly he was a God Botherer like the other great mass murderers George Bush and Tony Blair. Bloody Hypocrites.

Hmmmmm, Interesting judgement by an "anonymous forever" bike rider who lives in an isolated little town on the bottom of the world! (freedom of speech forever)

Stalin studied to become a priest. That makes him a God botherer in my book.
Bush and Blair were responsible for the deaths of an estimated four million people. That makes them Mass murderers in my book.
Both of them are known God Botherers.
Since the greater mass of earth is in the hemisphere opposed to the one I live in that would make us at the top of the world.
And I live in a God Forsaken Hole errmmm 'Super City'.

We are on top of the world because of the way most people visualize the direction the Earth orbits the Sun. The majority of the people asked: If you are looking down on the sun from above, which way goes the Earth go? say it orbits clockwise (this is the orbit around the sun, not the spin around the axis) ..

If that is the case then when you look down on the sun and see the Earth, the pole facing you is the South Pole. If you say looking down on the sun and the Earth orbits anti-clockwise then North is the Top pole. So by popular conception South is the pole at the top.


(And yes, it does matter .. even if you flip the picture the Earth still moves clockwise ... )

Did you miss the bit where I said I watched it?

I don't believe you Ed.

Wasting time - I couldn't remember seeing that so I looked back over Eds posts.
The reason you would not have seen the bit where he said he had watched it would be because he never posted any such thing.
Dreaming again? ... or being untruthful?

To imagine that he had watched it, and still stubbornly cling to the fantasy he promotes, beggars belief.
Although, I guess, the closed mind is capable.
The simple mind may not be able to comprehend - another option.

Not actually a criticism of any thing that you said, think or do, just that you can do it from your obscure isolated position/locality in the world.

I wonder how much longer such freedom of speech on the internet will last!

Probably didn't word my post intention very well!

Do we have freedom of speech on the internet now?
Two long posts I wrote would not upload.
These contained speech which may have been construed as attacks on the US and the criminals behind the throne of power.
I also pointed out the criminal behaviour of John Key. I pointed out that by giving financial aid and moral support to the rebels who overthrew the govt. of Libya he became a war criminal.
Internet access became difficult to impossible despite rebooting the modem and the computer several times.
A paranoid person may have concluded I was being censored.
How could one determine if that was in fact happening?
What would one have to write to trigger the algorithm that would lead to blocking of access?
Is our access totally free of monitoring and censorship?
Would this control be undertaken by the GCSB? - previously illegally and in the future legally.
Are reports of access denial and censorship just drivel from conspiracy theorists?
