    I'm still willing to look at any studies that suggest anything to the contrary.

    So far, ... nothing.

    Credible study? This woman`s "education" has been a total waste if all she can come up with are "how long have you been beating your wife" questions. To attempt to label peple as racist for having the best interests of their country at heart, is as lame as lame gets.

    I'm still accepting studies that show anything to the contrary.

    What you need the capacity to accept is, Farida Fozdar`s "study" is simplistic, biased, amateurish, and embarrassingly pathetic. Grownups can see that easily, but if Fozder`s waffle gets you going, I won`t spoil the feelgood for you. :mrgreen::fart:

    What you need the capacity to accept is, you've provided no evidence to support your "argument".

    Still waiting ...

    Nothing in here about me being God. You've made a mistake.

    "People who fly Australian flags on their cars have more racist views than the rest of the population, a new study has found. ...

    "WA University anthropologist Farida Fozdar says those flying the flags expressed more racist opinions on a number of issues."

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-01-2...survey/3790172

    Does anyone have a study that shows anything to the contrary?

    Still waiting on that ...

    Uncle, if the study is meaningless then there is nothing to counter in the first place. A proper study on racism and flag usage is pretty pointless and I doubt anyone would do it.

    Do you have anything besides your own opinion that suggests the study is meaningless?

    And, what is it you fear from a "proper study on racism and flag usage?
    Anything to back up your claim that it would be "pretty pointless"?

    Put it this way aunty meat head for reality & let me tell you this. If I had a gold fish as dumb as Farida Fozdar, I`d feed it to the cat.

    OK, you've got nothing. We understand. You should have just said that in the first place.

    White flag accepted.

    Does anyone even need a study to know that these pretend Aussies appropriating the flag for their own egos are thicker than the average?

    let me guess, youre a 2 flag man, right? And I guarantee you attach them to your 4wd one either side. I bet that makes you feel important.

    Nope. All one has to do is talk to them or listen to their "conversations" to know what these people are like.

    I go back to a point I made before: How many doctors or lawyers are out there with Australian flags flying on their BMWs, Mercedes, or Audis?

    Not many (if any). The majority are tradies, who didn't get past year 10, driving around in their lime green ute or black 4x4.

    The facts speak for themselves.

    I get the distinct impression that everything in this post is 100% accurate.

    IMO, to live under the mantle of a beautiful country like Australia, then whine about people celebrating this country by showing our flag, is pathetic and parasitic. Every society has it`s weak, and lazy, in most countries, natural selection weeds them out, but we feed them.

    Actually, you're the only person on here whining.

    We're just pointing out a few facts about the flag wavers, without whining.

    Correct.

    That's why the flag wavers usually copy each other: once one of them gets a flag on their lime green ute, they all seem to follow.

    Sad really.

    Not in a black 4x4 with dual Australian flags, no.

    On that point, you are correct.
