No prize for seconds mate.
Epsilon said:The only answer your idiocy deserves is this (in Greek) : Ante kai pidixou. Paliomalakismeno.
I am sure there are a "few"Greek speaking people in here who will gladly oblige.....That is, if your paranoia does not also "listen" to Greek the words: Paranoika ilithios malakas eisai, Vlima!
Out Too Soon said:How many Muslims have you known Epsilon?
I lived in a muslim fishing village for 2 years & THE PEOPLE WERE LOVELY they mixed in together with the buddhists, Chinese & us misc foreigners & I NEVER felt threatened. It is very sad to see that world politics has done to sth Thailand but blame the politicians not the people. really!
PS: 2020, I absolutely love your poems, esp the peace ones on the first page, where did they come from?
2020hindsite said:1. Well Epsilon - no surprises for me, except that Im now more convinced than ever that there are moderate moslems out there with fine ethical values - just fine (whatever their past). Helping other fine moslems to lock up the extremists who are obvious nutcases. (concluding remarks as I recall something about "maybe the west could learn something") ?
Lol - thanks OTS - The one about "If I were God" is only an extract - The main theme is about the way the world is trending "healthwise" - and the fact that I wish people would spend more time thinking about the world they'll leave to the next generation than about whether they'll go to Heaven or notOut Too Soon said:2020, ..poem... where did they come from?
I agree Wayne - all extremists should be SHOT! (sorry another oldie lol - sorry if this is the 300th time you've heard it)wayneL said:But, we should also be pro-active in defending our own culture from extremists... of any bent
Epsilon said:B). Islam by nature is a religion which justifies in raison détre in being anti-West, anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-infidel. They (muslims) only live to enhance islam's influence throughout the Planet. In other words, instead of spreading , values much desired by the nature of most humans (freedom, good life style, good future for children-next generation, progress, democracy, etc), they want to spread their cruel, barbaric religious system\life style, which goes against the nature of mankind. Against the nature of humans. Against you and me (well, definitely against my values and nature...)....
Can you see the difference?
I can.......Hence my anti-Islamo-fascistic stance. In fact a very strong, but peacefully democratic one.....
Cheers)

3. Is Australia corrupt in its relationship with USA? Hard to tell really! Difficult to be corrupt when all you can say is "yes sir" "no sir" "three bags full sir"
Lol OTS - imho, 25% at best of what police put up to court is true - believe me, I've seen it first hand - they are masters of twisting the truth - BLATANT lies - Beattie backing them ? - what a fool !! Clockwork Orange has nothing on Aussie cops !!Out Too Soon said:Corruption in Australianooo not here!
Where could someone get away with sadistically beating a man to death with witness's. HERE in Nth QLD of cause, Senior SGT Hurley has finally been stood down (on full pay) but the sickening thing was the reaction of the politicians & the media up here, even Peter Beattie tried to gloss it over.
ANDREW DENTON: That is true. What lies ahead for David?
MAJOR MICHAEL MORI: I think what lies ahead, he's going to remain at Guantanamo Bay until there is a change, until his situation is re-evaluated. There is no hope that he's going to get a fair trial next week, next month. If the administration gets through the Bill they want dealing with Commissions, it will not provide him the basic protections that he deserves and that you would get at a court martial. It's funny, because the Status of Forces Agreement between Australia and the US, for US soldiers who commit crimes in Australia, one of the rights is that they must confront the witnesses against them. They don't want to give that to David.

Out Too Soon said:And finally it's happened, just before christmas when everybody is well & truly pre-occupied, out comes the sneaky Dept of Public PRosecutions verdict. Sgt Chris Hurley gets away with murder because they aren't going to even charge him. No surprise really, they couldn't possibly put the evidence before a jury without a very big embarrassing cover-up being blown sky high. If we cant get justice for Indigenous ppl while a moderate labour party is in power in QLD how can we hope to ever get real justice in QLD?

Aboriginal leaders have welcomed the appointment former New South Wales chief justice Sir Laurence Street to lead a review into the decision not to charge a policeman over a death in custody on Palm Island.
The death of the man known as Mulrunji led to riots in November 2004, and a Coroner's inquiry that found the officer responsible for the death.
But there was widespread outrage when Queensland's Director of Public Prosecutions announced that no charges would be laid.
Sir Laurence Street, who starts work today, spoke to Conor Duffy about his new job.
CONOR DUFFY: Sir Laurence Street, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding this case. Your predecessor was forced to stand down after it was revealed he'd been on a committee that selected Leanne Clare. Do you have any concerns about the controversy surrounding this case?
LAURENCE STREET: No, no concerns at all. It's an important matter in the public arena, but I have no personal embarrassments or baggage, if you like, from the past. It's a professional engagement, and I don't anticipate any difficulty in discharging it. I don't minimise the sensitivity and importance, it's got to be done properly and carefully and thoroughly and correctly. So I'm … there it is.
CONOR DUFFY: And have you been following the developments on Palm Island for the last two years?
LAURENCE STREET: No. No, I haven't. All I know is the occasional times I've read it in the print media, or heard it on the radio, or seen it on television, but I most certainly haven't tried to follow it. I'm aware of it as a contemporary issue.
CONOR DUFFY: And how long will it take you to review this evidence, and when do you start?
LAURENCE STREET: Um, I'm expecting to get the documents in my office tomorrow, in Sydney, or, if not tomorrow, on Monday. I'll start to look at them. It's a matter of weeks, not months. But it depends how much, I don't know how much material there is, but it's not a long, drawn-out … it's not an AWB, if you like. I'd expect that we'll have it finished, the three of us, within a matter of a few weeks. etc ...
