ANZAC Celebrations

I can accept both of those concepts.

You wave your ignorance like a bogan waves the Australian flag on
Australia Day. Not That I would dream of insulting your
intelligence...

 

you might be surprised
but then I am to apathetic to care

 

Correction: TOO apathetic to care.

So I take that to mean you're not taking me up on my challenge?
How NOT surprising.

Has anyone here actually met this "George W. Frost" dude?

What's his _real_ name?

Challenge ?
What is this Challenge you waffle on about Gerry ?
Is it a duel at 15 paces ?

Gerry, it is about time that you realised that you are not the centre of the
universe and what you say is not taken for granted.
You are calling for me to divulge my history with the Services and I have
told you many times and will tell you again,. that I am not going to tell
you or anyone else my service number .
You also sprout on about telling the blokes at the RSL about me and that you
and them may even be inclined to pay me a visit, should I ever appear in
front of you, you also sprout about how you are so big into the RSL.
Yet, you are advocating exactly the opposite of what the RSL is all about,
it is the Returned Servicemans League.
Not the Returned Squibs League, which you appear to belong to
The majority of Servicemen, returned or otherwise, if they are fortunate
enough to receive a medal or any recommendation for a medal, are proud to
have that honour and the blokes that you will see on Monday, including the
persons wearing the medals of their father,mother or grandfather who served
in the Services and were awarded the medals, they will be wearing their
medals with pride and will march down the streets with others.

You on the other hand, threw your medals away, didn't want them, don't
believe in wars, and anything else you can think of,
You are a hypocrite Gerry, claiming to have fought the enemy in Vietnam, yet
throw the medals away which you were granted for doing such.
I would guess Gerry, that you are a member of the local RSL and that you get
to the rooms, have a beer or whatever with all other returned servicemen.
You are two faced Gerry,
do these RSL members which you suck up to at every meeting, actually know
that you are a squib who denounced the ethics of the RSL by throwing those
medals away?

If they do, then you would have gone on a diatribe, trying to convince them
how what you did was right

Not right though in my books Gerry
You are a squib, always were and always will be

What's this "dude" thing Gerry?
been watching too many septic movies ?
about where you belong anyway, in La-La Land.
P.S....don't forget your medication Gerry

 

<...Paternalistic claptrap about the RSL>

Aside from the general population taking out its disgust at the
actions of the politicians of the day on the returning troops, it was
the RSL that was the straw that sent many returning soldiers from
Vietnam over the edge. I know a lot of Vietnam Vets, but I do not know
too many who retained RSL membership for long after being told by the
oldies of the time that they were not welcome because Vietnam was not
a real war like Korea or WW2. I for one would never associate myself
with that bunch of redneck bigots, and I do not know of many people of
my era entitled to full membership(as I am) who have taken up full
membership.
Like Gerry, I too have to wonder about a Vietnam Vet who demonstrates
such a love of an organisation that did so much harm to returning
service people of that time.

 

debatable point depending on tense
your credibility went the way of your medals gewwy a long time ago

your an aspro with a tenuous grip at best

 

You're = You Are You're = You Are You're = You Are You're = You Are
You're = You Are You're = You Are You're = You Are You're = You Are

FFS how hard is it to be able to differentiate between a possessive
pronoun and an abbreviated nominative phrase.
Obviously too hard for some knuckle draggers here.

I am illiterate in many languages also. I learnt French for three
years at high school but never learnt 'merde' until I met some real
Frenchmen on a course in London years later. I also took to smoking
Galoises Blu whilst there. Not sure how I survived those things.

For some Catholic reason I also learnt Latin for those same three
years, but never met a native speaker. Shame really as I was better at
it than French.

Ah Latin , nice structure and I loved it but of course lack of use
I learnt Engrish at an early age as a second language and of course
speak it well enough , I wonder considering the time you have been an
Ozzie is there any accent ?
Galoises Blu between them and those flaring filthy French matches I also
express surprise at your survival , worse than the Camel non filters I
smoked for some time

 

Interesting
In another life, I studied music in a formal way. There are many Latin
phrases commonly used in music. My childhood school days were spent in
a sugar growing area in North Queensland where a big proportion of the
population consisted of first generation Italian and other southern
European speakers, and their bilingual children - my childhood
schoolmates.
So on a visit home with my newly acquired knowledge of Latin, I
thought it would be simple to hold a conversation with my Italian
speaking school friends. I still chuckle when I recall the expressions
on their faces as they explained that English was more comprehensible
to them than raw Latin, and that I was speaking complete gibberish to
them
Btw, for the record I topped the musical theory class, so I suppose
The Latin that I was taught, gibberish or not, was sufficient for its
purposes.

 

You lost!
Throwing your medals away again, Gerry? Is this how you always react when
someone says something you don't like?
Are you frightened of debating online in case your weaknesses show up?
I will come back and haunt you.

 

Does he always react like this, running away? As a Veteran, I would have
thought he would have least defended his point of view, and put up a bit of
a fight. The word "Gutless" seems very appropriate here! Yes, I agree with
your statement, mate.

 

Looks OK from where I'm sitting, mate. Do you have a problem with my smiley,
just asking.

I'm so shy, I nearly didn't send this!

 

Don't hold back, atec77, you tell him, mate. LOL

Same as the bogan who threw his medals away, wouldn't you agree, GWD?

 

A number of contradictions in gewwy , you decide on the matter although
the conclusions you mention seem close to mine

 

I thought this was a group dedicated to motor bikes, not typing and
spelling! But, being a net cop, you just have to put everybody right, don't
you Gerry!
