Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seemed to be using the argument that only 1 democracy placard suggests they were not so interested in democracy - in contrast to lots of beheading placards at the 2012 Sydney protest.

I didn't say how many beheading placards there were. Obviously if their main interest was democracy, there would have been more democracy placards.

Quote:

Surely you wouldn't "interpret" that very few beheading placards at the 2012 protest means it was not violent would you?

Whether the protest itself was violent can be determined by whether the protest was violent, not by what was on the placards.

Quote:

The only claim I made was to say it is perfectly reasonable and logical to assume that these people were genuine in their concern for democracy.

You claimed that they clearly indicated it. If they clearly indicated it, there would be no need at all for assumptions.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

No, thats not even a claim - its a simple statement of fact. It would only be questioned if you are blind or can't read.

Re: Sydney protests against overthrow of Morsi in Egyp Reply #138 - Feb 8^th, 2014 at 1:08pm I don't think any such evidence had been presented up to then. You only dug up the picture of one of the placards later. It was perfectly reasonable to ask for that evidence. If you have to interpret words as symbols for other words, that is not clearly indicating anything at all.

LOL FD - you were originally demanding to see evidence of the word "freedom" - oblivious to the fact that it was impossible to look at images of the protest and *NOT* see the word freedom.

Presumably you saw common sense then and realised that the word "freedom" would be a dead-set give-away. Especially when it is there together with such words as "justice" and "peace" and "anti-coup".

It is pure comedy to seriously suggest these people weren't indicating support for democracy, and thats all there is to it.

No. Originally it was democracy.

Demokracy? Good heavens, signs with the slogans "ditch the witch" and "Bob Brown’s bitch" are most demokratic.

If JuLiar had been ousted by a military coup over the carbon tax, a significant proportion of the electorate would have supported it - as would some in the media.

That’s demokracy for you.

Ditch the witch.

I'm sure ASIO got good photos, and researched the identity of these anti-democracy, pro-fascist government demonstrators. Documented them for future reference.

It's the Western-born children of these immigrant malcontents who are the ones who end up sitting on trains with NIKE bags on their laps.
