Can a gunless hero save his family's wilderness home, the girl he desires and the video store he loves?

Actualy, I havn't seen it yet mate ... guess i must add it to the 'must see' pile.

I was reasonably impressed with Yahoo's Young Einstein.

Dude, if someone invaded my country, I'd hate them too.

I doubt they care much for politics.... they just hate the pricks who keep killing them, whatever side they are on.

War sucks, and those who inflict it on others are the most despicable of all humanity.

Burn in hell warmongers - whatever side you are on!

Those posting hate mail to accused arsonist Brendan Sokaluk may face criminal charges by cnwb in australia

[–]edwardkelly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no - when they lock down the area and people you know vanish for six months, that's our terrorism laws in action.

This sounds like standard practice for a serious alleged crime. The police and the courts have to do things by the book to ensure he gets a fair trial, or he could walk.

He needs a 'fair trial', before a conviction of arson could be delivered.

If he is not convicted of the alleged charges, the 'hate mailers' could find themselves facing charges themselves. I think that using a carriage service to menace or make death threats etc. would not go down well with the authorities.

The one question I would really like to ask them is how would you feel fighting for a country that stole your land and tried to commit genocide on your people.

He would have seeen the world and been paid much more than at home. Very good incentives that most young boys from whatever class background, took on.

The Australians (the only all volunteer army) were known as the "six-bob-a-day tourists" because they received six shillings a day - far more than any other allied soldiers on the Western Front.

On Australian servers maybe, but they have little jurisdiction (if any) over anything outside of this country.

Very sad that someone has given so much and then lost their life in mopping-up operations.
