what about the genoicide of hundreds of thousands of Africans, why weren't you calling for Australia to send troops there?

If you are talking Rwanda we were there.

What with? Pop guns or War Planes?

Google and learn something you fool. I cannot be bothered providing a reference so I guess in your world it never happened. Roll Eyes

What bravado and acts of heroism did Australia do to stop that real genocide of up to one million people? Nothing is the answer. We made a token contribution to a far too late UN Peace Keeping Force, but not one bomb did we drop.

Unfair, I'll tell you what's unfair Aussie, ISIL trapping thousands of men women and children on a mountain, then waiting at it's base for them to starve to death.

Don't worry though, the good old U.S. Air Force caned their sorry arse and allowed the people to escape.

Yeah....that was unfair, and the Yanks unfairly sure beat the living beejessus out of those bastards who wanted to unfairly beat the beejessus out of those people on that hill. But it was not our shite fight.

Hey, I don't mind us taking a gun to a knife fight but it is unfair that we do.....and why don't we do it everywhere there is an imbalance in capacity to fight.

Nah.....Mr Baron. We ought stay out of what has been going on for centuries.

No-one ever said that survival of the fittest was a fair fight, but it is the cold hard, heart tugging reality. I get pissed off when a lion pulls down a zebra and gorges on it.

You would have preferred we did? I was addressing the claim we did not send troops to an African genocide. And yes I agree, too little too late, which is what happens when you wait for the UN to get its poo together.

The UN does some great things in medicine and vaccinations but absolutely hopeless when it comes to managing or preventing conflict.

Why have I got to drag then truth out of you when at all times you knew it? I know we were there pissily with our pop gun. But, we were token....no bombs, no war birds, just 'peace keeping' pop guns.

Maybe you need to get rid of that knife you have an insane and unjustified need to put on my back.

Drag the truth? Again I was addressing another posters claim about Australia's lack of presence at an African genocide and pointing out we were present in a UN mission, but thanks for your pointless interjection.

I find it hard to answer your questions John, they are so, well, Neanderthal.)

Now now, Red, don’t you get all snippy - not when your own use of numbers is so, well, rhodensiensis.

10,000s? 10%? It’s as if you’ve just learned to count using both, well, paws.

Thank God for that crystal ball. If it wasn’t for that, we’d have every reason to believe you just make this stuff up.

No. You asked:

If you are talking Rwanda we were there.

And I asked:

Quote:

Instead of responding along the lines of my question (to which I always knew the answer) you had to up the anti telling me to go off and google, implying that I was being misleading with my question, and that Australia had done something significant, which we never did there. (Genocide ~ real ~ there.....rhetorical genocide in Iraq and off we go with all guns and war birds blazing.)

Whatever it is Datalife, get over it. I don't bite.

I didn't imply poo, read back, I stated a simple fact to a misapprehension, that we had not responded to African genocides, I told you to google because I couldn't be bothered with what I anticipated your usual response to be, a time wasting tactic to demand links and references for simple statements.

My point is quite simple ~ Rwanda = real genocide. Aussie reaction = pop gun. Iraq = political rhetorical genocide. Aussie reaction = all the bombs we have.

After the two Police were attacked, you went down faster than the Nautilus. I was worried than you might have skipped Summer Bay but joyously you are back with us and all is well in Oz Politic world.

It also risks someone asking him why he doesn't answer questions, or substantiate any of his ridiculous claims.
