That's not a criticism you understand.<BR/><BR/>And on the subject of things that just aren't talked about, I don't know what military recruiting is like where you are, but here it's almost like you join the Forces so you can go and 'help' people. It's like they're in competition with Medecins Sans Frontieres or something. The difference with MSF I guess is that in the army you get to shoot anyone who is insufficiently grateful for your 'help'.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-4110342804882831782009-02-05T03:50:00.000+11:002009-02-05T03:50:00.000+11:00God, I don't have to imagine that, I just look aro...God, I don't have to imagine that, I just look around me, and oops, there it is!<BR/><BR/>The brainwashed morons.<BR/>The slanted news media<BR/><BR/>"gotta kill the ragheads"<BR/><BR/>and yes, I have actually heard that said.<BR/><BR/>And when you tell people they have it all wrong, and they tell you, "conspiracy theorist"<BR/>And you smile that little smile, because you KNOW, you know, they are the fools.

Those things they could deal with, but not the dogs. They, the Vietnamese couldn’t hide from the dogs, no matter where they went no matter where they hid the dogs would find them. It was one hell of a way to die being torn to pieces and it happened a lot. A lot more than you have heard. There were a lot of dogs in the military back then, mostly Dobermans and Rotties and they only had one purpose.<BR/><BR/>The canine patrols used to laugh and call it payback for all of the years the Vietnamese had been eating dog. The dogs ate well back then and developed a certain taste for oriental cuisine.<BR/><BR/>But of course that never hit the news as it would be just too low tech, much better to burn them alive with napalm or perhaps it was that peeps back in the world would never look at their fife or fido the same way again if they saw what Fife or Fido could really do if they had a mind to. <BR/><BR/>So at any rate it never really hit the news.<BR/><BR/>I’ve had and attack trained big dogs most of my life and I mean really big dogs, Like Great Danes and to a lesser degree Dobermans and I will tell you this, that in this world there is little that will terrify one more than what that naked man is going through in that picture. It is truly horrific, but then again much of what the military does is.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes when I walk through the bush with my hounds it brings back memories, much like this picture did.the Silverfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019227476380575638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-52429798240794857862009-02-03T12:47:00.000+11:002009-02-03T12:47:00.000+11:00Annemarie! Yay. So nice to see you dropping in. Yo...Annemarie! Yay. So nice to see you dropping in. You are the sparkling sun of your picture. Kikz, Tony - Annemarie's here!<BR/><BR/>Slozo, that was spooky. I was in Beijing in 99 when the US bombed the Chinese consulate in Kosovo. The Chinese went nuts. They were even shaking their fists at me in the streets. "Bu Meiguoren, Wo Aodaliyaren!" I'm not American, I'm Australian.<BR/><BR/>And I get to work and all the staff are gone - gone down to the US embassy to throw bricks. When they got back I told them they were crazy, that it was an accident or something. America wouldn't do it deliberately.<BR/><BR/>What an idiot! I didn't make it back to Beijing until a couple of years later but when I hooked up with those guys, I told them that they were right and I was wrong. No skin off my nose. The new me would be down there with them lobbing bricks. Hell, see if I couldn't turn Yanjing beer (or the empty bottle at least) into a far more fiery cocktail.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, spot on mate.nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-61489388231896235842009-02-03T12:00:00.000+11:002009-02-03T12:00:00.000+11:00Nicely written once again, if you're not too sick ...Nicely written once again, if you're not too sick of compliments.<BR/><BR/>You make me reminisce, Nobody . . . I went to China for a year to teach English a few years back, and travelled to Tibet with my girlfriend, who would later become my wife. I am ashamed now of my ignorance, when I spoke brashly of the tens of thousands that the Chinese had killed, the annexation of a sovereign nation, etc. as if there was only one evil entity. We had long and bitter arguments, and I was filled with little knowledge and much propoganda.<BR/><BR/>But the only thing that saved me, that has always saved me, is my desire to learn, to seek the truth - to self-educate. I googled and googled, looking at first for things to back up my assertions, then learning bit by bit that the history was much more cloudy and uncertain as I went along. I won't go into the details of what I learned here, as I think you know a thing or two about Asia; but suffice it to say, it is shameful for me to look back and see how blindly I repeated one-sided propoganda.<BR/><BR/>The difference, in the end, is how you were brought up, how you were taught. I can only thank my parents a hundred times over for making sure that I didn't watch 8 hours of TV a day; they promoted lots of interests for me, and enabled me to pursue them; and they taught me, most importantly of all, that it is ok to stand alone in your opinion. To search out the truth. To learn without teachers.<BR/><BR/>We must all teach our children these lessons, we must pass it on. <BR/><BR/>We have a shitload of culture to fight against, but I feel it is a noble battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-24527107502463585252009-02-03T11:51:00.000+11:002009-02-03T11:51:00.000+11:00That is brilliantly put.

Mind you, for a few dollars extra why not indulge in the luxury of a pick-axe handle? Enough blokes with pick-axe handles and the cops will just freak, shields or no.<BR/><BR/>Yeah Skye. This shit is so relentless you feel like Canute ordering the tides to turn back. Mind you, Canute was making a point about the fallacy of lording it over the natural world. The shit tide of modern culture in the other hand, is as natural as GMO and every bit as worthy of being sent back to hell.<BR/><BR/>Dave, you and me both brother. To a certain extent I described myself. Looking back, my problem was that I had no one to explain things to me. Not in terms that made any sense that is. So what I tried here was to put it in terms that I imagine would have made sense to me then. But maybe I wouldn't have got it. Maybe I'd have been precisely as obdurate as today's idiot teens.
