Here's another example of Aussie boofheads displaying nil sensitivity to the feelings of people from other cultures. Didn't it occur to any of these geniuses that Malaysians might be offended by having their national flag, a symbol of freedom from colonial subjection, turned into skimpy swimwear for display on worldwide TV?
While we might just laugh at their stupidity, governments of other countries are not so forgiving.
Same goes for climbing Uluru. Just boofhead behaviour, I think.

It must make some of you feel quite superior. Always thinking of others' feelings.
Provided they think as you do, of course.

back to playing the man it seems.

you do realise you have already lost the discussion the moment you do?

obviously not

Another pearl of wisdom.

It was not a contest to be lost. A conversation never is. Until it was turned that way. Still, it was interesting, most people put their views forward, open and honest, and every one deserved to be heard. In that regard, and the fact that the thread lasted as long as it did, gives me confidence at least here we can have these conversations without malice. If I have upset any one with my forthrightness, I apologise. It was not my intention, some times the best of intentions go astray. To my regret, I feel this conversation will still be a hot topic in 100 years time. And that is a pity.

Yes, well said. I hope my stating my opinions hasn't upset anyone, even if we disagree. Not meant to be personal, just adult discussion.

This is an emotional subject, many opinions, so obviously, we're not all going to agree with each other, and, surprise surprise,......We didn't, which is all good, and to be expected, unless....ya "play the man".
No excuse for that at all, after all it's only a difference of opinion, & I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me, in ANY discussion.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the thread, and will continue to so so, should it continue, and whilst I still have the same opinion, I have some more understanding of the views of others.
