Quote:They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
fourth stanza of the poem 'For the fallen ' by Laurence Binyon (1869–1943).

SMH wrote:[size=6] Anzac Day centenary: Sydney dawn service interrupted by Ivy nightclub music[/size] April 25, 2015 - 9:38AM Pallavi Singhal The Anzac Day dawn service at Sydney's Martin Place was interrupted "at least five times", including during the minute's silence, by music coming from George Street nightclub Ivy, a number of attendees say. The crowd of about 30,000 people reached the area outside the nightclub, which is less than 400 metres from Martin Place. "This morning during the dawn service the Ivy nightclub blasted dance music several times during the dawn service including the moment's silence," said James Lobb, who attended the morning service. "The music was incredibly loud." Members of the crowd approached the nightclub to complain about the noise but the music continued to be heard, according to Mr Lobb. Some took to Twitter to register their complaints. @terry_steer wrote:Big shout out to ivy nightclub who decided to turn their music up in the middle of the dawn service. #respect #LestWeForget @JayneAzzo wrote:People on George st for Sydney Dawn Service say Ivy nightclub played music during the minute silence.

Good, fucking idiots. On a local note, was good to see the massive crowds out today to see all our past and present service men and women. Very proud today of my city and its people. -PB

Scott McIntyre SBS football reporter went nuts on Twitter calling the Anzacs rapists and murderers. I guess some people just can't help themselves to be iconoclasts and take sick pleasure in hating on their country and those who fought to defend it.

If you don't think highly of those who took bullets and shed blood for their country you don't have to rain on the parade of those who do. Of course Scott McIntyre just wanted see his name in the headlines, and shitting on the Anzacs was the best thing he could think of to acheive.

I saw Scott's tweets as they happened and was pretty disgusted with what he said. This prompted me to do a little research on some of the war crimes and I have to say I've learned a lot of nasty stuff that isnt taught back home. Anzac soldiers engaged in executing prisoners on a frightening scale, kidnappings, rape, gang rape, child rape & killing babies.
His views are twisted and gross generalisations in part but there is sadly a basis of truth to them.
My grandfather told me the most important thing about remembering is not to forget the pain and suffering and insure people never have to be put through it again.
I guess some only have the stomach for remembering certain parts of history.

The point I'm trying to make is while disrespectful I learned something from it so it makes the whole twisted excercise at least somewhat worthwhile.
