I dislike Nationalism/Patriotism/Be Proud of Where you come from.
Never understood it. I hear quite a bit that "The country is going to the dogs", Well the why FY^%$ don't you leave and find somewhere else that meets your needs.
"That would be un(Insert Nationality Here)".
It's not like your family is originally from the country you're living in anyway :unamused:

I call Aboriginals "abo's" and refuse to accept it's a derogatory term. It's an abbreviation of aboriginal much like aussie is an abbreviation of Australian. So how on earth is it derogatory?

I also think racism against Caucasians is understated and ignored. I find many who complain about racism are indeed very racist themselves.

Jesus Mate …I got called a racist facist cracker! for using abo in a thread not so long back...I too thought it was an abbreviation much like calling an Englishman a Pom an American a Yank or a Japanese a Jap....
Also I don't get why if a white man calls a African American a [Racist or culturally insensitive words are automatically censored] it's full on racist yet Black American's call each other [Racist or culturally insensitive words are automatically censored]'s all the time and it's fine.... :crazy

What is the difference calling someone pink , Blue, White as apposed to calling someone a Fat C@nt , 4 eyed head , Fat arse ? I believe this does massive Physiological effect to one's self esteem ?
Maybe explains why Suicide's are at an all time high .

Actually I thought you were both sensible people I will need to re assess that
The difference between calling a Englishmen a Pom , and an American an Yank is socially they have always been classed as an equal
Unfortunately some of our forefathers thought that Italians ,Asians and Aboriginals weren't equals and feel that this term is racist and derogatory and was used by our forefathers as deriding term
Now do you understand ??
I'm not being PC , I'm being respectful to a race that some our forefathers would of eradicated of the face of this planet if they could of

So we are held to judge by our forefathers…..I feel that it is the intent in how the term is used
for example the number of times Happy.... you yourself have described us as 'Mexicans' is in jest and I don't feel it as racist others may have a different view...
If somebody uses a racial term such as “Asians” or “Mexicans” with vitriol… it is clearly offensive. But if someone uses the same word in a neutral context, how can it be so racist?
Very good article here

Yep wicked waste alright. Seen one fireworks display, seen them all. Honestly, when are we going to tire of it? Australia Day Fireworks, Christmas Eve Fireworks, New Years Eve Fireworks, Queens Birthday Fireworks, fireworks just for the sake of having fireworks day and on and on it goes, ad nauseum.
Millions of dollars literally going up in smoke all around the country every single year, so we can all stare into the sky for 10 minutes at a time and go "ooh ahh". Money that could've been put to good use addressing the increasing rate of homelessness and unemployment, the shortage of staff and decent facilities in our hospitals or perhaps to provide funds to the shelters, assisting women and children trying to escape domestic violence, that run on a shoe-string budget having to beg the government for every dollar - just to name a few.
But nah, let's just keep those fireworks coming, bigger and better every year, so we can be the best and the world can see how wonderful Australia is because we can put on a New Year's Eve Fireworks display better than everyone else :unamused:
As far as I'm concerned, the fireworks can p… off, along with the Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi chant!
