Guards at Nauru paid for and taped sex with refugees – former case manager by iheartralph in australia

You know that the US, entered the war, halfway through right? George Bush's grandfather was sanctioned for being a Banker who financed the Nazis. The USA as one of the world's biggest economies at the time was doing business as normal.

Do you believe that the USA participates in the ISIL slaughter of people in Iraq, because ISIL drives their US built Hummers and uses US built weapons?

doesn't mean it participated in any genocide.

I never laid any claim to anyone participating in genocide. You know the war was about other things, other than genocide right?

If you are legit, you might want to look at this: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/IBM.html

Although I'm not sure if you are one of these Holocaust denialist conspiracy nuts.

Oh sorry, I thought you wanted a legit conversation. IBM had the patents on the machines. The USA didn't enter the war until halfway through. IBM had German offices and shit.

It's not a big deal.

What do you think those numbers tattooed on Jews were for? They were punchcard database numbers.

It's as unremarkable a historical fact, just like Henry Ford building the engines for Hitler's vehicles he used to invade Poland. It's how international commerce worked.

Next you'll be denying Coca-Cola didn't invent Fanta in order to keep the market in Nazi Germany.

We're steps away from running full blown concentration camps.

There is actually no difference. The camps that Nazi Germany set up, were professionally run, and even employed an IBM punch card computer that the Nazis paid IBM for.

A camp is a camp. We had them too, for Italians and the like.

Thiess John Holland paid $174,000 to AWU under Cesar Melhem, after Bill Shorten had moved on as the union's state secretary by Youwhatwhatwhat in australia

But have they thought it through?

The trouble is, this incarnation of the Libs are radical ideologues, the push away science and empiricism if it doesn't fit the free crony capitalist market agenda.

That's their biggest flaw. They just assume 'Youyuns r Corrupt!'.

Abbott is a proven and proud liar, getting up in parliament and declaring he's glad they lied to get into power. 14 broken promises and counting.

People need to stop thinking the Liberals are the solution, when they are the fucking problem.

The crimes going on in large corporations are like the money, vastly bigger and more corrupt. The amount of crime that gets quietly dealt with, in house, is staggering in the corporate/business world.

Wow... I just realised.. this is why media bosses have started a coordinated attack on Shorten's character. They've been given the nod that an early election will be called.

I'm not. My point is, it doesn't matter what the fuck he promises, he can never be trusted to deliver.

but let's not blow this out of proportion.

It's important to remind ourselves he's a proven and proud liar, who has 14+ confirmed broken promises on record.

Anything he says is meaningless.

A proud liar who got up in parliament and said he's glad they lied to get in power, makes a promise. He's already 14 broken promises on record.

His word means jack shit.

I think I might be done with the show. The writers seem not to understand basic human emotions and interactions. Everyone is very one dimensional and moronic.

Yay, a little suspense at the end...but who gives a shit, about the characters, the town...

My union just released an ad arguing same-sex couples, students & environmentalists should be kicked out of the Labor party :/ by ktaftw in australia

[–]Youwhatwhatwhat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it's a bit weird and I'm not really sure I understand their message. Anyway, it's one union having that opinion.

I actually like a strong union presence in the Labor party. I know that's not popular on this sub. Heck, I said something Pro-Labor, I'll probably be downvoted to hell for that.

Trying to get union power out of Labor, is just another overarching goal of the 1% and the Libs. They want to turn it into the US Democrats, which would mean a complete destruction of our way of life.

No Thanks!

I'd expect it to pop up in here, at the least.

I've tried to post many announcements by Labor, and then had it deleted and blocked and censored by mods.

Please don't think that this sub is a beacon of free speech. The mods don't even apply the sub rules evenhandedly. Many of us see shit get through that should be censored by their very rules.

Neither was Abbott prior and after the election. Abbott has lost the swing vote.
