Very disturbing article in the SMH today

So, hello Mr NIMBY, alias Warbler

Ha! Look in a mirror grasshopper...

[Steve Axford]

Of course. Didn't you read what I quoted?

[Warbler]

I read about half of what you write Steve, but I only find a fraction of that useful because of your repeated attempts to play the man and not the ball. Sorry.

And I think we are all running around in a big circle. Why don't we just wait 30 - 40 years and see what happens. Thankfully I will be dead by then. I hope the earth is good to my children

That's a very odd comment. I think that you would find that book quite informative.

[Warbler]

I think our respective tastes in literature are quite different, but thanks for the tip.

[Steve Axford]

I think, in this case, we agree.

Standing for the National Anthem is not about respecting the tune. It's is about respecting your fellow countrymen.

So whose stats do you believe. Dr Bill Warner states that there were 548 Jihads against christian countries over a 1400 year period yet Philip and Axelrod apparently don't see those conflicts as having any religious connotation.

My understanding is that most wars of jihad are classified as political / arabic expansion.

I guess it depends on who is interpreting the agenda for the raids.

If some foreign nation raided an Australian city, took slaves, and raped, pillaged and burnt, I'm pretty sure I'd look at it as an act of war.

Oh dear, I think I've just revisited 1788.

I'm sorry. What was wrong with that post? Happy to discuss here or privately.

As per my PM, your post was just to get a reaction and you would have known that. Entirety inappropriate referencing the happenings in France right now as a way to get a reaction from members.

Might be time to lock the thread. people have had space to express their concerns and individual opinions and I can't see this thread going anywhere other than in circles. Religion, sex, politics...all guaranteed to start arguments....get more than enough of it on Facebook.

So back to photography where there are never any arguments... (did I mention mirrorless is the best way forward..... He he he)
