Im not talking about human rights in Australia and how their elected politicians handled the covid crises, but overall your claim is wrong. ones freedom choosing to not take the vaccine take away anothers persons freedom.

You say that you have nor freedom. Answer me this then. If Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbour and <deleted> off the Americans. Then in al likelihood Australia would be a colony of the Emperor of Japan. What kid of freedoms do you think you would have had under the military rule of the Imperial Japanese army. Please do not tell me that it would not have happened. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their lives were ripped away. Taken. I really hate those euphemisms. Karen have you ever served in the military. If not then I am sorry for your lack of education. When a soldier enlists in the military they make a promise to put their lives on the line. During WW! and WW2 these people knew that there wre ch ances that t hey would not make it. Yes they went wher they were ordered but I can tell you from experience in the military that they all knew their chances and yes while many of them died a violent death it was still doing something that they wanted to do. For their country. Please do not diminish the acts of heroism and what they did because you do not like the choice of words. Every man that stormed those beaches or dropped into Europe did so so that they could fight Nazism and assist those being t reated poorly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 23 minutes ago, Sparktrader said: Ask Victorians, locked up for 9 months. People have been sacked over free speech. I lived through it. Many on here predicted the end of freedom but freedom stayed and Premier can be voted out shortly if people decide. Australia highly rated free press and democracy. Just look at recent election. My grandfather was actually too young in world war 1 and too old in World war 2 but faked his birth certificate in both. I think he would have understood what happened as he lived through Spanish flu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
