Hi Guys,
I'm looking for any boat owners around the bay to join the Peace Flotilla during the War Show.
While little boys like to look at these weapons as toys, they are part of the war machine that is wreaking death and destruction around the world and part of a PR offensive by US/UK in Ireland.

*Yawn*

So anyways...

Its an air show...get over it !

Why dont you go and protest somewhere more meaningful than taking the easy option of fannying around Galway Bay in a fancy boat. I hear Afghanistan is nice this time of year...

there's a massive arms fair in Shanghai in July, the Chinese will be flogging, as in actually taking cash orders for, vast quantities of small arms, attack helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, most of which will go to delightful governments like Sudan.

interestingly, the Typhoon which will be displaying at Salthill (but not as a sales pitch - Ireland can't afford them) is fitted with only one non-Precision Guided Munition - its gun. contrast that with most of the stuff the Chinese will be flogging to various despots and kleptocrats (i mean worthy comrades standing upto western imperialism by, er... killing their own people and robbing them blind) that wouldn't know a PGM if it walloped into it from 15,000ft.

i can get you the address if you like, perhaps we'll see you on TV with your placard.....

Now,now,now,lads and lasses.
He has a perfectly democratic right to protest at an airshow!It's because of the likes of good folks who have served and serve in armed forces.Twits like this have the right to wave homemade placards,without fear of being shot on sight or being slung in a dungeon for 40 years.:rolleyes: Hope however they all do get seasick:D

OS119

of course he has an absolute right - and indeed civic duty - to protest against whatever he sees fit to protest about. i just wondered whether perhaps he was going to protest - even from a safe distance - about an arms fair that really will result in a very significant number of civilian deaths, or whether his angst was purely directed at anything British or American and this happened to be a convenient - and safe - target while ignoring, because its not relevent to his actual agenda, rather than the one he professes, an event that will cause far more suffereing than any air/war show ever will.

Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee (Tom Cruise): I think I'm entitled to them.
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

Thanks!

Steyr
