If I can be banned for pointing out your stupid comment, then so be it.

This is your apology? I think you're right to point out what a bad guy I am so that we don't remember your comment. But it won't distract us from the point of your earlier remark.

There were no hostages in the NO dome.

Sure there were hostages, and there were predators too

The Australians who were in that pit know the deal now.

Is there any word on the missing Aussies?

The group of Australians that escaped the dome reported some of them were detained by the mob in the dome at the last minute. I wonder what happened to them and if they are the missing twenty.

They could have walked outside.

BTW, what were they being held hostage for? Dope? Women? Guns?

Give it a rest, vikingkitty-food. Annoying jackwits fell out of comedy vogue back in the late '80s.

It sounds to me like you support the muggers, looters, and rapists. We all have to make our choices in life and for eternity.

Mr Hopes, 32, said: "That was the worst place in the universe. Ninety-eight per cent of the people around the world are good. In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad. "Everyone brought their drugs, they brought guns, they brought knives. Soldiers were shot. "It was like a refugee camp within a prison. "It was full on. It was the worst thing I have seen in my life. I have never been so frightened." Realising that foreigners were a target, Mr Hopes and the other Aussies gathered tourists from Europe, South America and elsewhere into one part of the building. "There were 65 of us, so we were able to look after each other -- especially the girls who were being grabbed and threatened." Mr Hopes said. He said they had organised escorts for the women when they had gone for food or to the toilet, and rosters to keep guard while others slept. "We sat through the night just watching each other, not knowing if we would be alive in the morning." John McNeil, 20, of Brisbane, said the worst point had come after two days when soldiers had told them the power in the dome was failing and there was only 10 minutes worth of gas left. "I looked at Bud and said, 'That will be the end of us'," Mr McNeil said. "The gangs . . . knew where we were. If the lights had gone out we would have been in deep trouble. We prayed for a miracle and the lights stayed on."

The word toodles was meant as good-bye to someone with your disposition. However, if you want to prolong this little interchange keep replying.

If this had happened somewhere else they'd be saying it was racist to worry about a few Australians when thousands are dying.

What an interesting case study ~ someone demands incontrovertible evidence, legal due process, and all that, and because I'm such a lawabiding person you think I'm supporting rape, mayhem and riot.

I think you're still busy looking for an excuse to shoot people.
