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.
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
: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.....................
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.:(
Shorty.
Very Deep......lolQuote:

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"
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".
