So proud of america for going after isis ...and i am against war

By many, I would surmise Ralphy, especially if the end result is seen to be worse than it was before being saved.

However not by the Australians.
We always join the party, even though our contribution is small because we aren't one of the big powers.
However, we are always among the first to arrive and the last to leave.
 

And don't forget that the only real God is on our side, though I suppose atheistic Aussies laugh at that...
 
Only the gods of Olympus take sides in wars.
The Devil plays both sides against the middle.

As in most things, Aussies just want to beat New Zealand.
(Where's that irony smiley when you need it?)
 
Jews, Christians, and Muslims all claim that land is sacred to their religious heritage. So the fighting over that land is because of religion.

This world could be such a great place if we could just do away with religion.

I agree Rkunsaw, organized religions are behind so many wars and killings in this world, and always have been. Doing away with all of them would improve things.
 
I gave up religion 20 years ago and Ive never been happier.I never forced it on my kids,its their choice,not mine.
I go to church now and then cause a person may ask me to go with them.So I guess Im not an atheist.
But once inside I have no idea what the hell Im doing in there.

So what is religion?.....the Belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
Kinda silly when ya think of of it.

"What was your last job?"

"Il Papa."

"What did you do in that job?"

"I was the Holy Father of the Vatican".

"Was that your job title as well?"

"I was the Pope!!! The top man, the leader of billions of Catholics!"

"Did you work last week, or did you LOOK for work last week?"

"AARRGGHHHH!!!"

We are all shocked over here. Especially the boys grandfather who is an everyday Australian.

This mongrel used his brother's passport to get out of the country but he won't get back in.
It is believed that his wife, Australian born, went with him to the Middle East but where she is now is a mystery.
She must have charges to answer too.

Hard as it is to say, it would be better if the whole family perishes in their frightful cause.
For the parents it will be punishment, for the boys, a mercy.
 
Agreed Dame Warrigal, If this is what religion is all about then all the religions can go to hell in my opinion, one of the ten commandments says thou shall not kill, what a joke, the killing has never stopped.
Man is the cruelest creature on this earth, give me animals any day.

This is an example of one of the primary problems of fighting a religion. You are fighting an ideology; anyone anywhere can have ideas. I don't agree with Australian politics & policy but I never pictured Australia producing radicals. But ideas and opinion are easier to develop than an army. You can wipe out an entire army and their machines and they will never fight again but ideas live on even if suppressed for decades and centuries ideas/religions life on forever.
 
That's very true, WhatInThe. Ideas must be overcome by stronger and better ideas.
In the end peace must defeat war and love must triumph over hatred and fear because nothing else can.

You do realize that the US has been involved in all of the Middle East turmoil, both causing it and exacerbating it, for decades right? And that they were arming Syrian 'rebels' (also known as al Quaeda sympathizers), some of whom have returned to Iraq to fight with ISIS. So it could be said that America is trying to help people who are in trouble because of them. Good for America?

They cant possibly be compared !

Israel is fighting for it's life, and it is Hamas that is responsible for the casualties..

they want to keep those people being injured and killed for publicity/ PR purposes, so that they can blame Israel,

which is why they launch their rockets from places such as schools!

Defending the lives of innocent people in Israel, who are under rocket attack is hardly " nasty "!

Sorry to disagree with you Shamhat, but I do. I've spent months reading and researching the Palestinian/Israeli situation and Israel is as bad as Hamas! The way they treat the entire Palestinian population be they on the WB, in E. Jerusalem or Gaza is horrific. Unbridled brutality and oppression and all the while funded by welfare from the US. If your government openly treated you like this, you'd be looking for help from the world even while you and yours attempted to fight back with everything you could muster. And this has been going on for 50 years now while the world has sat by and watched and applauded.

I'm not saying Hamas are 'without sin', but Israel is sitting in the same boat as they are.
