Simpson joined the merchant navy in England, then after one trip he (and 14 others on the crew, must have been a rough trip) jumped ship - making him a defector. He travelled around Australia for a few years, doing all sorts of jobs and sending pay back to his mum the whole time. When Australia got involved in WW1 he volunteered pretty quickly, thinking he was going to get a free boat trip back to England. Unfortunately for him he ended up in Egypt to train for Gallipoli. When he got to Gallipoli he "found" some donkey and started using it to bring in wounded. People say he must have used it to get the easier, closer fellas because a heavily wounded bloke way up the front couldn't get on to a donkey. He went through about half a dozen donkeys in 3 weeks then was shot and killed. There were other people doing basically the same thing as him at the time, and the real heroes doing stretcher carrying like they were supposed to. There was an investigation a while ago into whether Simpson and others should get VC medals but all the evidence showed he was basically just doing about the average of what a stretcher bearer should be doing. Figures like 300 men saved, he would have to have done 12 a day, are impossible due to how long it took to bring the wounded back from the lines to the medical areas. One of the paintings by Horace Moore depicting a man and a donkey, formerly thought to be a portrait of Simpson, now known to portray Henderson. http://www.smh.com.au/national/taken-for-a-ride-20130306-2fli4.html http://www.smh.com.au/national/behind-the-anzac-myth-of-john-simpson-kirkpatrick-and-his-donkey-at-gallipoli-20150505-ggu8rz.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Simpson_Kirkpatrick

Having known a few women who were actually in the armed forces, I'm guessing that if you asked them how offended they were by those posters, they'd say, "It depends on how nice their dicks are."

Secondary Reminder: Simpson survived 24 days of the 8 months Australians were at Gallipoli. ~10% of the campaign there.

For a while there was a sign out the front of the old Port Phillip Woollen Mills site (now being turned into apartments) proudly boasting that the prices were starting from $1.1 mil. They're building around 500 of them. I live in Footscray because I'm hard as nails.

It's like that joke about Chris Kenny but instead the punchline is "but you kidnap one aboriginal child and dump them in the bush".

By the time you're saying it technically wasn't kidnapping you're really not going to come off looking as good as you think you do in your head.

But you have to understand in Queensland in the 90's it was just the done thing to kidnap aboriginal kids and dump them in the bush with no clothes or shoes.

I don't think that's the biggest takeaway from that graph. Please tell me that's a joke graph. Please don't tell me one in five to one in four people think dog loving should be legal.

'animal' is a broad term. the UKIP voters are actually 74% in favor of making interracial sex illegal, which is surprisingly progressive.
