Feels like it was planned really, too ignorant a mistake to make, the wreckage has been said to been "tampered with on an industrial scale". But then again why knowingly shoot down a commerical airliner? What to gain...

Whats the saying: don't judge others until you have walked a day in their shoes. And I don't think anyone on this forum would like to spend a day in their shoes, based upon my experiences. Craig H

Looting, no respect for the living or dead, lawless, a bit/lot of ethnic cleansing, state knows best up bringing - characteristics of virtually all communist and ex-communist states. The ultimate outcome is a failed economy with massive numbers of ignorant poor people. Look at the chaos and ruined societies throughout the world and thank yourself you live here. Then take careful note of what some politicians and minorities actually want Australia to become...

Some of you guys need to dial down the xenophobia.
Have a read of this to better understand the impact MH17 has had on the locals.

The simple reason it will never happen is greed both from the wealthy and poor and yes australia has had it to good for to long most australian have no ******* idea whats its like to actually live week to week one meal a day and having to fight to even get that. They sure are good at telling everybody else how easy it all is tho.

I'm not supporting any conspiracy theory. But I don't think people should just believe the first thing they here, just because someone said it on the TV. Especially when things about the story don't add up once you look a bit deeper into it. To be honest I haven't looked into the Malaysian airways problems recently. So I have no opinion. I am not going to write someone off as a nut job, conspiracy moron just because they believe something different to what was reported on the TV. |

We (myself and my wife) support her side of the family month by month through my In-laws (Orthodox Christians living in Egypt). I had a house mate, English chap, wife from the Philippines. They supported her family. Not everyone has it easy. I actually understand that more than most after the stuff I've seen first hand and I'm quick to point that out when needed to others. There is a line that has been crossed and wrong is still wrong. Sorry - I just get a little angry when I see this sort of stuff...

They suffered miserably pre World War 2 at the hands of Stalin. From 1941 onwards it was the Nazis, militia and stalin. Then post WW2 it was Stalin again. Throw in decades of living under the Iron Curtain, then some corrupt leaders, and you can understand why they have never had a chance to recover. This is what those protests were about before Putin swallowed the Crimea, they wanted to join the West. I think they got sick of having nothing, especially living in a country that has 'rich' soil.

if we go through history there has been a number of persons who have had no thought or concern for there fellow human beings
Slavery and before that the Roman s and all the way through look at some of the devices man has made to toruture his fellow man MY personal feeling and thoughts are that yes there are Alien life out there but one look at us and the basic fact that we cannot get on with each other How would we react if a space ship did arrive? It is not all doom and gloom there is a lot of good out there in the world Take a simple example In Wagga Wagga just after the Canberra Bush fire a local Wagga truck driver went to the radio and TV station saying he will take any donations free to Canberra In the end they got 5 or 6 truck loads some brand new bought that day. Look there is hope for us a slim one but there is hope

Those looters have no conscience, poverty or not... Not a nice memory to have of yourself for the rest of your life, surely those looters will get investigated too asap.
cheers, Maka

Looters and opportunists operate everywhere. Remember the scum that went through ransacking houses abandoned during the bushfires? Some were dressed as volunteer fire fighters. The same happened here after the floods. No matter where the police close the roads these ****** always find a way through.

Data retrieved from the the ill-fated MH17 flight black box shows the plane was hit multiple times by shrapnel from a missile explosion.
"As the clean-up of the wreckage site continues in Grabovo, Ukraine, European officials have described the finding as “massive explosive decompression”, CBS News reports. On Saturday, a European air safety official told the news organisation that the missile “did what it was designed to do - bring down airplanes”." http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/worl...727-zxc9g.html

Saw one of the conspiracy links on book face earlier when they're claiming that it's actually the missing mh370 aircraft,,and showed all sorts of photographic evidence.
Have to admit it was quite compelling, but ultimately bs I'd say. |

It was quite well written, the dude should start writing books or something. Be better than trying to get mileage out of something like this.

Seriously, does anyone really think that anything but Untrained and heavily armed 'Separatists' Accidently shot down this plane down ?
Regardless these buffoons and morons need to be brought to justice. By all accounts, many are mercenaries and are being paid to do what they do. |
