Yes - they appear that insecure that they need to wrap themselves in silly symbols, and take "pride" in what is merely the accident of their birth. You can be lucky enough to be born in a rich country. Only an idiot can find "pride" in that.
the citizens of a country make it what it is. if you fail to see that, it would explain your shame in being an Aussie.
Most Aussies aren`t bigoted enough to attempt to abuse people for flying the flag. Most Aussies call this p1ss weak behaviour unaustralian.
People waving the flag account for more racist bull(*)(*)(*)(*), and never to admit any mistakes. And yes, send all boatpeople back, or in your case the Mexicans. True blue spirit. 70 years ago Hitler expressed the same................................................................. And I reckon you are just one of them, or did you stand up and raged against the Iraq War? I bet you couldn't care less. As far as I am concerned, stay away from flag wavers, whether Aussies or Americans or else, bloody conservative bull(*)(*)(*)(*) that is..............................
Yes. Not the silly little rags you wave around. Try to learn the difference Who expressed shame? The only shame is the poor sad bastards who are so insecure about their own identity that they feel the need to wave flags around to feel the security of tribe mentality. The poor sad bastards who take "pride" in the good fortune of their birth. Take pride in your OWN achievements - not the achievements of others to whom your only connection with is the accidental fact that you were born in similar geographical locations. That is just pathetic.
Do you feel uncomfortable without some sort of "us v them" scenario to fall back on? That is sad. We all belong to the same species. You don't need a flag. You nationality is a meaningless construct. Try just being a person. Racism is a really bad look.
"unaustralian" LOL Most useless, media-driven cliche ever. Makes me laugh when I see people follow these stupid trends.
70 yrs ago, Hitler wiped his bum, according to your own reasoning, you are against personal hygiene too? Poor old Adolph has a lot to answer for.
Our little girl wore a Ozzy flag hat she made at child care. Is she a racist bogan? I think you plebs just like to jump up and down on forums, pretending you are better than everyone else. Your generalisations are pure biggotry. Dismissed as a shrill hack.....
Says the racist bogan trendsetter. Again why the the "enlightened" ones so blind to their own hypocrisy?
I don't own a flag. I'm not a racist bogan. It seems you haven't been reading the thread properly. Personal insult noted though.
Neither length nor lucidy are the problem here. Just try to invent a word with some meaning. That's all we ask. ("unaustralian" LOL)
"lucidy" isn`t a word with any meaning, but bitterness, and lack of self respect are meaningful words. To live in this beautiful country, and to still not even know what it means to be Australian, must really be a sick existance. Funny to see though, and a good example to children, of the cost of weakness.
LOL, that was ironic. Of course, I meant to type lucidity. I'll cop that one. What it means to be Australian, to me, is not using media-driven, meaningless, cliches like "unaustralian". Let's leave "words" like that for Bolty, Today Tonight, and A Current Affair.
Heh! At least I understand the words I use! I think you are trying to accuse me of being elitist or condescending. Not a "pleb"! Have another go! This is funny.
