Comes down to, that something as deep and complex as war should not be aired on twitter. If he had an opinion, he should have aired it on a Blog and after ANZAC Day. There are a lot of "grey" areas in war and conflict and depending on which side you come from someones views cannot be simply viewed as "plain wrong and ignorant. After all the Turks looked at the ANZAC's as invaders of their country....is that wrong?Quote:

Anzac Day is glamorising to cult level an attempted invasion of a foreign nation that we had no quarrel with
The remarks directed at those who see Anzac Day as a day to get on the piss and gamble and not reflect on the horrors inflicted from war on all sides involved are fair comment
As for his remarks about the conduct of Australian Soldiers in wartime. Plenty of examples of Australians not acting in appropriate manner
The big issue here is more my lefty ****ing nutters abusing free speech and vilifying someone cause they don't agree with them

Not really worth losing your job with a public broadcaster though.

They have quite a big memorial park and museum set up there (you know, remembering the past).
The thing that stood out to me was that Japan in no way tries to lay 'blame' for what happened on anyone and acknowledges their role in the war and what led up to the bombings. nor is there any resentment to the many westerners who pass through the place. its all about education in the hope no one ever has to go through that again.
it was quite an incredible display of humility and reinforced the fact there is nothing ever good about war.
If people wanted to really remember and respect the Anzacs we would stop fighting imperialist wars for other countries.
Good on scott.
Wow.. Who the fudge honestly thinks Hoole was our best player this year? He wasn't even our best winger. Or our best youth player. Or our best local player...
oi, take your anzac politicking to the politics thread ya knobs
I thought it was tradition that once the season was over all threads merge and end up in our usual Katie v Zooey debate?Quote:
