It seems one difference between you and I, BB, is that I neither expect nor desire people 12,000 miles to work their knickers into a twist over my circumstances, while you, BB, seem to feel it is your due.
Nah...... the difference between me and you is that one of us talks out of his @$$.
Much more of it and they are going to have to bring in the Caterpillar 992 Front-End Loader with its 10 cubic yard bucket, just to clear away the quantity of bull$h#t you have been discharging!
here is australia the race commissioner has claimed senator o'sullivan is in violation of racially derogatory language.
senator sullivan has said the biggest threat to biosecurity is ' some bloody old chinaman that brings in his favourite sausage down the front of his undies' chin tan said using the word chinaman is offensive.
makes you wonder is englishman or australian man or scotsman is also just as offensive.
I have known more than a few Chinese people, and for some reason they all take exception to the term "Chinaman".

During instances of human suffering, it is common to experience feelings of inadequacy. Having been involved for decades in first aid work, this is not the first time I have felt rather inadquate, and I daresay it won't be the last either! That doesn't mean, though, that one cannot show empathy for the injured person; nor does it mean it is wrong ("hypocritical") to do so. However, I am enough of a realist to know that from 12,000 miles away, there is little or nothing that I as an individual can do to help in this instance.

How would you feel if you were the one being semi-suffocated while undergoing a beating, followed by bones being broken, with the whole lot capped off by a 5,000 volt Megger being shoved up your @$$ ? Then, to add insult to injury, anybody subsequently hearing about this outrage and expressing their disgust gets branded a hypocrite? Your feelings might be somewhat different, I would imagine!
It has been my experience that those making the loudest accusations of hypocrisy are usually themselves some of the worst offenders.

Apparently - because little or nothing can be done to help these victims of torture - we should all shut up, look the other way and pretend that it didn't happen!

Sadly, very few countries are exactly squeaky clean when it comes to this sort of thing. Particularly during irregular warfare (such as the fight against terrorism) are the gloves all too often removed.
However, the fact that "others do it too" is not an excuse - it never was, and never will be!
(Speaking as somebody who takes strong exception to the mistreatment of animals, let alone human beings).

How is it a good example with what ever you call it?
Easy enough to hold your attitude - just as long as you are not on the receiving end yourself!

Tell that to the governments of the world they seem to think it can be justified, say, defending some ideology called freedom be it what ever they call freedom.
The old "Ends Justify the Means" argument once again!

Acts of brutality such as these are never justified - no matter what the circumstances.
I can't really give 2 farts what happens to JWs in Russia.
A bloody good example of what the navy calls "The Jack Club"
i.e. "I'm all-right, Jack. F$^k You!"
asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.
everybody says there is this race problem.
everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

Digressing slightly from the topic, but still:
It is my belief that whatever success the witnesses had in P-NG was due to John Cutforth, a Canadian Gilead graduate who had one of the warmest personlities you could imagine, and who could thrive in the stench of pig-vat and human B.O
Having lived in PNG myself and known Jofn Cutforth, I tend to agree!
many witnesses in my opinion know nothing about the religion.
they don’t understand the history, the doctrines or the bible.
many people become jws because they were raised as witnesses so they take the plunge.
Hi Corney,
I thought I knew what I was getting myself into at age 17.
But then again, we all know what Thought did!
