    Apparently Australia surrendered their first piece of territory to China, raising the Chinese flag in Box Hill... singing the Chinese national anthem. Where next... maybe a piece in Sydney or an adjacent suburb... Open borders will chew you up and spit you out... the funniest part is so many Australians supporting it :lol:

    I wonder if they fly flags of other countries on their national days?
    I think they had better start to do it.

    Well you don't... not in Aus... if we did I think yours would be quite good, mine on the other hand would be terrible...I'm far too controversial....perhaps even maybe a tad disagreeable but don't tel anyone) I'm the type of person the communists shoot first...the troublemakers

    If you fly the Aussie flag in China while singing Waltzing Matilda I'd wager you'd be scrubbing toilets for the rest of your life and so would your entire family.

    In Australia liberals will applaud you for retaining/transplanting your culture....

    Umm, what is that in aid of??? Just interested as to what you’re refuting...

    I think this is very pertinent to the fact the stereotype of indigenous Australian is created from a minority, not the majority.



    For years I have often pointed out that the concept of the indigenous sitting around living of the government teat is factually incorrect. I often point out many indigenous people who shun the government teat and work hard to promote themselves are hobbled by the concept of handouts that come from a very small minority…


    Even on these pages I point out just how proud these people are and the injustice of how they are treated in the shadow of the few poor examples everybody holds onto… This point just stands to support my stance with stereotyping indigenous Australia…


    Oh and before you complain about some shallow hatred you want to hold, it is no different to any other nationality (statistically) just the perception of the endemic racism promoted in Australia.

    LRL agrees with you. He was just illustrating a stereotype which demeans most ATSIC peoples.

    Oh, I gathered we had the same stance, just seemed out of the blue type post. I was just wondering if I had missed something, as LRL seems more intent on posting hate at me, I am not bothered chasing back to see what motivated the post.

    Explain please what the hell you are saying. As usual you are trying to read your own petty little insecurities into others posts.

    Grow up Garry for fs.

    Positive choices just posted that on twitter so I thought it interesting to pass it on and I have in the past posted similar posts. No agenda Dick head.

    I have seen your previous posts on this matter and on others. More often than not I agree with you even though you hardly ever agree with me.

    This is the prefect example.

    You must have a very dull life if the best thing you have to do is to find some way of attacking me even when you agree with me, apparently according to God Gary I am not allowed to speak.

    Well you win Garry, like so many before your childish behavior has driven me away.

    You truly are an R. Sole.

    Umm don't know what your problem is and I don't really care. As stated to another, I was simply wondering what the post was in aid of, what you were refuting or supporting. I simply didn't want to chase through your posts to see as just like here, you simply want to post your hate, so I cannot be bothered…


    I would suggest you read the post before assuming the comment, as it was in complete support of your post, but as per usual all you want to do is take offence and post hate...

    But hey, one does wonder, you post personal attacks in others threads because you’re such a nice person. And then you post stuff like this... Basically, who cares what you think, sure you may have plenty of support for posting such hatred, but I simply point out the truth... Not my issue but yours.

    There's a certain group (from North of Oz) who are notorious food smugglers. They literally couldn't give a sh#t. They're actually proud of it. AND they're citizens.

    Darwin Bombing.
    An interesting piece of history which isn’t much spoken about.


    The Bombing of Darwin, also known as the Battle of Darwin,[4] on 19 February 1942 was the largest single attack ever mounted by a foreign power on Australia. On that day, 242 Japanese aircraft, in two separate raids, attacked the town, ships in Darwin's harbour and the town's two airfields in an attempt to prevent the Allies from using them as bases to contest the invasion of Timor and Java during World War II.

    Casualties and losses
    236 killed[1][2]
    300–400 wounded

    30 aircraft destroyed[1]
    11 vessels sunk
    3 vessels grounded
    25 ships damaged 2 killed[3]
    1 POW
    34 carrier aircraft damaged[1]

    The population of Darwin was about 2000. 10% of the population were casualties.

    Yes, what the hell was that about? Can you imagine the state of that putrescent substance by the time it arrived?

    And WHY oh WHY would anyone ever need or want to smuggle raw meat? That's the part that does my head in. It's not as though the smugglers in question didn't know Australia is full of butchers (and even if we were some kind of vegan nation .. surely you'd just go without, or go somewhere meaty for your vacay). It's utterly inexplicable. I've scratched around for a motivation which seems at least logical, if not reasonable .. can't find one. Have even shopped the question around to proximate brainpanners, and all came up blank.
