Evening all,
Hope this causes no offence to anyone, just thought i'd pass on what i saw this afternoon whilst stuck in the Traffic.

Gave the wife & i a bit of a chuckle......were stuck behing a lady in a mitsi van type people mover with all of her children, and a stcker was across the tailgate saying,,,

: " IF YA GUNNA BURN OUR FLAG
MAKE SURE YA WRAP Y'SELF IN IT FIRST!!!"

Some may be offended by this (personally i'm not), but just thought it was very accurate of a lot of peoples thoughts.

Cheers,

Pug.

How does on enter the "mud pit"

I agree 100%, if you dont like it LEAVE.

[72pug]

I also thought it was fairly ironic reinforcement of the Aus Flag, Considering Anzac Day is just around the corner again.

Nothing wrong with supporting your roots, and being proud of them eh.

on that note, Hope everyone has a good one on Wednesday!!

[lokka]

My thoughts exactaly buger off if ya dont like it here or our way of life and mostly our flag ....

[shorty943]

Love it, Pug.

I know I did not serve, just to let some minority mob or other demand we all change to suit them.
I am damned sure Dave and all the other good young Aussies who serve today, do not serve to allow their mum's and sister's to be brow beaten by some dissatisfied migrant group or other.
We do, as a nation, have a lot to be thankful for, to our migrants. But, we as a nation also have the right to final say, as to who comes, who stays, and who obeys what laws.
That last bit, includes every single person, who has foot set on this soil. You, me, migrant residents or new citizens, prospective new migrants and citizens.

Have I left anybody out. I don't want some poor minority thinking I am bigoted and not showing them any respect.:angel:

Australia love it. Or leave it, now.

Shorty.

[RobHay]

Personaly I rather like the idea of wrapping them in the flag, :twisted:

Leave our way of life alone
Leave our Flag alone
Leave our country alone
......don't like it........leave

[shorty943]

:D :twisted: :p :twisted: :D

Shorty.

Guys, Please remember one thing.
This is not our country.
I was born her and so were most of you.
I love dearly and would never think of discracing it.
But we are not the owners of Australia, even if your family has lived here for generations. We are still immigrants. Unless your Indiginous then your like 1st and 2nd generation Asian and middle east and european, all immigrants. I'm as Aussie as you can get... but i know its my home land, but i also know my forfathers came here in the 1700's and took what they believed to be there's, some of it was right, alot was wrong.
The yanks only settled in the US from other parts of the globe in the 1500's (i think) and they act like they have been ther for ever...
I agree that no one should burn a flag and no one should discraise any country. Its morally wrong. Like our ways or leave it is correct.
But dont thing that you are the owners of our country, We have the privilage to be here, as do every other soul on this planet. No one owns the planet, it owns us and we need to look after it more if we are to stay alot longer than the next generation.
On that note, i'm heading bush to destroy more tracks and kill more innocent wildlife.....................

[shorty943]

You are almost right there Clarkie. We do not own this country, or this planet.
We are a part of it. We are actually embedded into the atmosphere.
Think on it.
The air is all round us on every side, we breath it in and out of our body. We move in the atmosphere as a fish does in water.
Our body is actually constructed out of the natural elements of the earth. Our bones are calcium carbonate, same as the coral of the Barrier Reef, or any old lump of Limestone. Our blood is red because of the Iron Oxide that carries oxygen around our body, that is Iron Ore people. We are a part of this planet, not something above and beyond nature.
Oh, and we are a screwup. A great big screwup.
Mankind, made in God's image? If that's the case, Hughie, you screwed up.:(

IMHO .. very convenient, but also quite incorrect. Aborigines are/were also immigrants. It's just that it was a while back. As far as I'm concerned, after 5 generations, I'm as Aussie as the next bloke .. black, white or brindle.....

saw a sticker on the roll bar of a falcon ute the other day.
it had the disabled parking logo and written after it, "i'm only in it for the parking"

[kowari]

Yea, wot he said.

The true indiginouse residents of this island continent are the animals and plants that evolved here. I wouldnt want to get involved in a debate about the merrits of one lot of immigrants over another, irrespective of the length of time any of them had been here, 5 years, 50 years, or 40,000 years, suffice to say wer'e all human and have contrived to stuff it up. that applies globally also of course.
If you look back at the Millions of years of evolution to the ecosystems that have resulted, you cant but feel that the place would be a far better place without all of us.

As for any of the petty squabbles that dog the human race, at the end of the day, like it or not, "Might is right".

not really, K.

at the end of the day, we die.

i have a point in this evolvng discourse, white poms dropped hordes of convicts on this land and claimed and settled etc...and abused the locals...

so, if it wasn't the poms, i wonder how the indigenous would've fared under the rule of frogs, ruskies and/or nips.....

MOD HAT ON

as usual with these kinds of posts there is a lot of chest thumping

(and the original post was about a bumper sticker)

Please remember this is a G rated site,,,
by all means express your patriotism
but not by name-calling other races.

Yes that's so, I didnt mean to imply that I agree that might is right, just that with humans (and animals for that matter) it usualy is.

I believe that the locals would have lived under the rules and attitudes that prevailed in the world at the time, and no nation has a good record on that score. The locals were equally persecuting their own locals,(to a degree of course). just as humans have done globally since we evolved . hence the might is right comment.

any way, as someone has said, enough of that.

hope every one has a good Anzac day, and gets off road!

No one remembers the good people do only the bad let us not forget the Fallen Men and Woman that didnt return Home and cast a thought in silence for the Heroes of this Country we so proudly call Home And remember the ultimate sacrifice these people made for us so we can live in a country that has endless opertunities and you can be whatever you want to be .
LEST WE FORGET
