I move to start anew political organization based on the following premise:
Any politician who whishes to engage into military conflict with another country/force/rebel group, that by DEFAULT their OWN CHILDREN and famaly be the first to be conscripted to goto the front line, with weapon, kevlar and tin-opener in hand.
Period.
I guarantee you, there will NEVER BE ANOTHER WAR.

This current government needs to go to trial for crimes against humanity (Chaning Refugee laws for papua) and buchering Iraq's women and children and old poeple...
Amonst other things, the howard regime is a traitor to Australia and it's people.
And it's a traitor to humanity on a global scale, now that it wants to sell it to india, who will not sign up on the prolifiration treaty....
Kinda makes you wonder hey....
Here's Howard telling us, we do not want those pesky papuan refugees...(there running for their lives, cause Indonesian milatary on last count over the last 20 or so years, has murdered around 400,000 of them).... cause we love indonesia so much.. funny that, Indonesia is telling us how to interpretet our laws n rules, but it's condeming Corby to a life in hell, over drugs they can not prove are her's.. and Howard agrees to it all..
The truth there is very simple,:
RIO TINTO
need I say anymore?
I mean how much more arse fucking are Autralians going to take before enouhgt is enought?
And for good mesure, he has pissed down the back of all those people who have built this country and fought to establish rules to protect workers.. by introducing IR reform, the likes Stalin and Hitler only dreamed could be possible... we truly are week, letting him do dis to us...
And don't worry, that fat prick BEazly is nothing more then a carbon copy.. fucking gutless, weak cunts....
I'll go further then calling them idots, i call for a re-run of the french revolution... it's long overdue...

You tellin me you never heard of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy anounced by Clinton in 1993?
Basically says that its OK to be Gay in the US Armed Forces... As long as you keep it a secret and dont tell no body..... But if you are "out" then your out!
Im assuming this would apply to conscriptees also...

A few years ago, I really wouldn't cared much about fighting, living or dying.
But lord how my life's changed lately, most of it in the last 3 months.
I wouldn't worry about war nowadays. I'd worry about 2025, that's my prediction for WW3, either that or some other widescale disaster.
Hope I'm wrong of course.

This is a review of V for Vendetta
Sounds good think ill go see it on Good Friday
Though it’s not very popular to say so in America these days, it’s as true as it ever was: One man’s “terrorist” is another man’s “freedom fighter” — it all depends on who is wearing the jackboots.
A superb new film that explores the hair-thin line between hero and villain — especially when it comes to blowing things up for political aims — is “V for Vendetta.” A stunningly original and even profound movie from the Wachowski brothers (creators of “The Matrix” series), it’s both a modern-day swashbuckling tale and a none-too-subtle commentary on Bush-era governance by fear, one sure to spur debate among both comic book freaks and political science professors.
Though I’ve heard more than one critic say that “V for Vendetta” is set in a parallel universe Britain in which the Nazis won World War II, the careful viewer will soon see there’s nothing so fantastic as that going on. Instead, what we are presented is a very real world of possibly 20 years from now — one that crash-landed at the bottom of the slippery slope of trading safety for freedom in the era of terrorism. With the United States long since consumed by a mysterious virus and civil war, Britain has devolved into a totalitarian state of zealots, book burners and TV zombies, all ruled by Chancellor-for-life Adam Sutler (the suitably slimy John Hurt). With Sutler keeping power by way of black-booted thug squads and cronies at the television station, it’s a terrifying place, one where homosexuals, critics, malcontents and the otherwise different disappear in the middle of the night and are never seen again.
Then, as often happens, one man stands up. In this case, it’s the mysterious V (Hugo Weaving), a happy-go-lucky killing machine in a black cape and a porcelain mask, meant to bring to mind 17th-century British terrorist Guy Fawkes, who tried to blow up Parliament and kill the king. V arrives on the scene by blowing up the Old Bailey landmark in London and then, hacking into the government television station, threatens that on Nov. 5 of the following year (the anniversary of Fawkes’ capture) he will attempt to finish his predecessor’s work, hoping it will spawn a revolution.
Between dodging the police and doing in evildoers, V manages to save the life of Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman), spiriting her back to his hidden lair, which is stuffed to the rafters with censored art he has stolen from government vaults. In time, she becomes his sort-of sidekick, discovering his secrets, the hidden truth behind the terrorist attack that started the country on the road to totalitarianism, and the extent of V’s madness in short order.
Even more important than the political bent of “V for Vendetta” is its emphasis on characters and their development. For that reason, this is the rare action movie with a heart, albeit a dark one. No one, not even the hero, is all good or all bad. Just as often as we see V sticking up for the little guy, cracking jokes and expressing his admiration for Errol Flynn, we also see him in the stereotypical role of the terrorist — including a scene in which he opens his coat to reveal the classic suicide bomber’s dynamite-covered vest (other all-too current post-9/11 symbols make their appearance as well: warnings of an imminent bird flu epidemic, orange jumpsuits and naked prisoners in piles and hooded with black bags, as seen in the Abu Ghraib photos). Still, given that V is anybody’s definition of the word “terrorist,” it’s hard to know who to root for, something that’s rare in a Hollywood movie.
In time, the question becomes: How bad does your government have to be before life as a terrorist — a killer of both the innocent and guilty in the pursuit of political change — is OK? While not many would rank America as being that bad yet, “V for Vendetta” seems to say that the answer is just a short trip down the slippery slope away.
