Thread: Train Flag is Lowered

TRULY AMAZING

only words i can utter...

If that is determined as racism we are doomed. To the person who deemed it racist, go back to your country of origin.
All in all with the Hysteria surrounding many issues it was only a matter of time until we saw riots/unrest. Both side are probablly as much at fault as each other and need to pull their heads in and learn to live with each other. The media pictures were very disturbing. At least the people here in WA had the sense to ignore the SMS messages here and treat it it with the contempt it deserves.

My initial thoughts were that the complainant was an Aboriginal.

In the past I've been bemused by the American penchant for flying their flag at home or almost anywhere.

However, over the past few years I've becoming more interested in getting a flag pole for my front yard and flying the Aussie flag. I'm even more determined after hearing of a council that ordered some rate-payers to take their flag poles down 'cos they didn't have planning permission.

Over here (in Switzerland) it is nothing unusual to see Flags flying from balconies etc. Can be Swiss, Italian, German, whatever... you just fly your Flag.

One of my friends over here gave me an Australian flag for a wedding present. For the past 2 years I've had it flying on the balcony.

When we get back home I hope to put it up there too - though until I saw this I didn't realise I'd get knocked about for being "racist" for being proud to be Australian and showing it?

Good point, did not think of that. However even if it was an aboriginal it is the recognised flag of our nation and they should be proud of it. Failing that we coul always rebuild the land bridge so they can traverse back to where they originally came from too. None of us - no exceptions are original inhabitants of this country let alone the world, unless you believe a particular story of creation in which case we all are anyway and all related.

That's total bulls**t!

Since when has it become racist to have pride in the nation that you call home!
I can't believe the media even ran with it - I would have told the stupid person complaining to get a life of find another country to live in

Tough luck. They'll need to get used to the Aussie flag.

Some good news. A mate, on the job in Sydney said the driver has been flying the Australian flag in his drivers cab for a couple of years now, the mate rode with the driver yesterday and the flag was still flying.

I’ve never been much of a flag waver but I think it’s time to show the colours.

Let’s face it, the Lebos have won this round, not since the second world war have Aussies been scared to go down to OUR beaches.
