PIG stands for Pride Integrity & Guts. wss must be proud
The earlier email mentioned BIMC as being Australian run and with Australian doctors. The Channel 7 show does not show one aussie doctor. You must live under a rock if you have never heard that term "Round Eye" before. It was Japanese who referred to Aussies/yanks/poms etc, in WW2 as round eyes. Were the japs pigs. some of them possibly?
I fought in the Vietnam war and we were called round eyes by the Vietnamese. us and the Americans. were the Vietnamese pigs. Maybe some of them. Your words "were they awful to us" your view. I did not take offense.
It is a term used to cover many people with the same features.
What do you call someone with Black skin.
Politically correctness all gone wrong. When police cannot use the term Aboriginal in a description of a wanted person. They must use male/female with tanned complexion. Not very accurate I am afraid.
Get a life and reply to things you know something about.
