Is this singlet RACIST

[nero_bolt]

Looks like yet another storm in a  tea cup from the easily offended no sense of humour and we hate Australia mob

This Singlet and T-shirt has been available for a number of years on the web, on eBay and in many shops around the country until some super sensitive poonce from Canberra on an end of season  footy trip to Cairns with his team  decided to get himself all offended and post a pic etc and then the usual easily we hate Australia types all jumped on it  (seems some ACT AFL players are over sensitive)

So is this RACIST or simply a singlet that’s says you are proud to be Australian and  if you don’t like it here leave.

Is this yet another storm in a tea cup from the easily offended humourless types 

An original Tweet by George Craig from Canberra  posting a photo of the singlet with the caption “@woolworths cairns, selling racist singlets for everyday low prices! #racist” was shared by Greens MP Adam Bandt on his Facebook page.

In the name of harmony and diplomatic relations I will decline your offer to enter into an argy bargy  as well Jimmy.

However, ask youself, why were those targets selected being civilian cities.

We also then have to ask ourselves why Dresden was fire bombed and Coventry was obliterated. Both civilian cities.

Spelling, grammar and comprehension irritates some people when it is wrong...........................does it make a difference when people correct it politely? or not?

---

We all know Kilroy is dyslexic so it's rude and bullying to publicly correct, its humiliating and  uncalled for.

---

We don't "all know" who might be dyslexic.

That's the lame excuse used for the pre-emptive attacks on other posters.  

If you're going to dish it out you've got to be prepared to take it.

You can drop the "in the name of harmony" bs and then proceed with the disharmoney.

Save you argument. I've seen your "side" numerous times. As a matter of fact, no matter the issue you blame the US. Tough **bleep**.

Yes we do "all know" that kilroy is dyslexic, there was a whole thread about it and you participated in it.

As for "dishing it out" and being "prepared to take it"  that type of talk is antagonistic and uncalled for.

No, we don't "all know" anything about other posters.  You don't speak for "all" other posters or know what they are aware of or not aware of.

I don't particularly care what your opinion is about my comments. Call it what you want, if that's what it takes to make you feel better.

Because this is the way to make governments sit up and take notice.

"Back down, for this is an example of what we are prepared to do"

Coventry makes sense, from a tactical point of view. It was an industrial city, so not only could the Germans attack civilians, they were able to attack their economy as well. Apart from being a key manufacturing centre for cars, bikes etc, they were also a key manufacturer of aircraft engines and ammunitions.

This was not long after Britain had declared war on Germany, it was whilst Germany was still (at least in their own eyes) strong and capable of winning the war. They had successfully invaded Poland, their war machine was still gaining momentum so the tactic makes sense.

The retaliation bombing of Dresden - it was in the final months of the war - the German's were all but defeated, again attacks on industrial areas - my opion is the raids were initiated with the intent to bring Germany to her knees, similar to what was attempted following WW1 with the Treaty of Versailles, which showed that a Treaty was worthless, and so to ensure that Germany stayed defeated, the allies showed their might.

You participated on the very lengthy thread discussing Kilroys dyslexia. And what you do and say on here in no way makes me feel better so antagonistic replies  from you are not helpful.

Are you sure about that?

As I said, we don't "all know" and we can't claim to "all know" what others do or don't know.   You're only guessing and assuming that because you know or noticed that everyone else must have.  Not everyone who posts here posts every day or reads every comment on every thread.  You speak for yourself not for "we all".
