I have yet to hear your plan, to give America back to the natives there.

I'm all for dumping that ugly old Pommie mob and signing up the Danish Royal Family for the job.

Then when eventually our Mary becomes Queen, we'll have an Aussie Head of State who will at least barrack for the right team at the cricket and the rugby (really pissed me off to see that ginger idiot Harry barracking for England against the Wallabies - when he is 3rd in line to be the King of Australia)

I have never claimed any country should, I was pointing out Foolosos hypocrisy on his stance towards Israel.

as if australia has any better alliances around their region... you need as much help from everywhere in order to keep that continent like a western model for the south eastern places

Western australias separatist application is still at the queens desk waiting for an approval since the xix century...

If the Commonwealth Parliament had absolutely nothing else to do and the holder of the Vice-Regal post was a foreigner who was meddling on domestic affairs, I could see the Australians saying '(*)(*)(*)(*) on that' or any other dismissive colloquialism they choose to use. However, I think that their government is preoccupied by things that actually affect the lives of Australians.

I don't know about that. I'm kind of fond of the monarchy. Anyhow, this thread is about Australia. Save the seperatist wanking for another discussion. Quebec seperatists are more dated than monarchists. At least the monarchy has a purpose.

so you justify the US foreign policy and the occupation of stolen Palestinian lands on your own self deluded hypocrisy of other people's and nation's actions that occured in the past?

Tell it to the Palestinians who are being killed at a rate of 34 to 1

Tell it to the families of the killed US military personell that served in places like Iraq

And of course you justify the Iraq war in the same way. Bush can do no wrong hey OXYmoron? The USA is a pure white dove held up by GOD\\

what a joke -

Yes

The land was not stolen as it was not Palestinian in the first place.

Quote:

They should stop fighting then.

I will tell them thank you for the sacrifice for your nation.

Um, hate to burst your bubble, but Australia (as we know it) isn't even three centuries old yet.

And what we apologised for happened in the 50s and onwards. So did you mean decades??
