Australia Raids Over 'Islamic State Plot to Behead'

He said "They want the extremists". In this case, shouldn't he have meant "Extremist" or is he talking other imaginary "Extremists" that may or may not exist in your country? Lol.

Said and done, whether it's a conspiracy, bad facts, overrated, exaggerated or what, the simple fact that I was originally making still stands. Which is this is yet another overblown example of a government getting support from their citizens such as yourself for their war.

You and Blew are doing more to prove me right on this than anything I could say anyhow. If this shit wasn't made into such a big deal in your country, the support for you guys going into iraq would be MANY percentage points lower.

Instead of you guys sitting here trying to remind me that you are U.S. allies you would be saying what pieces of shit we were for STARTING yet another war! Many American's haven't forgotten how we were abandoned by our so called allies toward the so called end of the last iraq war.

We obviously aren't the type to hold a grudge, but we do remember. So you and Blew can get bent out of shape and exaggerate as much as you want to and make it sound like you're surrounded by jihadists. We were in this game first. We've seen the propaganda for so long it bores us now.

It clearly doesn't bore you, or you wouldn't be on here raving like a fucking lunatic (and trust me, that's how you come across).

The singular point of these raids was not to make arrests, it was also to collect evidence and intelligence which they have done by confiscating phones, computers etc.

The need for simultaneous raids is quite obvious. You can't have one team raid houses one-by-one, so you need an entire task force to make raids at many locations at the one time. This way there is no time for people to dispose of anything. Do you understand that?

Do you also understand that they didn't know what they were going into at any of these places? Yes, it turned out they didn't need the manpower, but I'm sure you understand the importance of being "safe rather than sorry".

Despite what you may think, I do not blindly believe everything I hear, but I do believe this. We've had Islamic extremists protesting in the streets calling for beheading, demanding sharia law and waving signs around saying that all infidels must be eradicated.

I'm sorry, do you think this is the Australian government in costumes?

Without googling it, do you know what "another Cronulla" would mean? No, you don't. Because it's something too small for you to have registered on your American-centric radar, but something quite important in our history.

Anyway, you've made it abundantly clear that you're an extremely arrogant and narrow minded individual, who can't post a single reply without adding "lol" at least once.

You even dare say we abandoned your troops in Iraq? That's a cunt move right there. I had friends die in that fucking war. Australian SAS were KEY in many of the operations, so to have an asshole like you make an ignorant statement like that is beyond the pale.

I understand that you quickly googled "island" so you could quote something here in an attempt to prove me wrong, but let me correct you.

Australia is unique and often requires further explanation to say that it doesn't quite fit within the definitions. It is widely referred to as an "Island Continent".

Even if you had bothered to look it up on simple old wikipedia you would have found this:



If you had consulted the Australian Government website on this matter, titled none other than "The Australian Continent" you might have saved yourself some embarrassment.:



and



But then again, who trusts the government? Those bastards! Lieing to us again and calling it both an island and a continent. They got in early too, made sure we were taught this crap in SCHOOL! Oh, those scoundrels!

If that weren't enough, you could have looked at a site dedicated to geography, such as www.worldatlas.com, as it explains that:



Anyway dude, I think you get my point. You can argue semantics all day about the definition of an island and how stupid I am, but I can promise you, it is technically both.

Yes, this is strange and different, and I'm sure it blows your mind.....but so does an egg laying mammal, am I right?

It's obvious that Australians have a different type of english than we do in the U.S. or at least you and Blew do. I NEVER called you stupid. I said doing research keeps me from looking stupid. How could you misunderstand that?

But ANYONE who doesn't do research looks stupid period. No matter who it is.

Perhaps some people use the term "Island Continent" but it's a contradiction.

I could provide more proof, but if a dictionary definition doesn't do it, I don't know what else will convince you. There are countless terms used everyday that are not correct.

As the founder of the Venus Project Jacques Fresco once said concerning terms used that are wrong, we tell kids that birds "sing" it's a lie and it misleads children from the start. Birds don't sing, they fucking chirp! Word to the wise who can handle the truth!

I'll stop there on that one!

I don't understand why people say I sound arrogant when I liken them to mindless zombies.
