Love this
flame away


I got this in an email I thought Id do more than just forward it on, I thought I'd make a post and see how it made fellow members feel.



I Am the Labor Parties Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, God fearing Australian ..
I am a hard working Australian and l work long hours to earn a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.
I drive Australian-made cars ( but I still love my Lambo !! ), and I believe in Australian products and buy them whenever I can, but they are becoming more scarce on a daily basis thanks to the pollies we elect, most of whom have never had a proper job in their lives
The Politicians are proffered by only 3% of our population who are members of political parties and then you are compelled to vote for the person these people select whether they live in or even know anything about the electorate they are told to represent.......bloody ridiculous!!
If you are not a native born Australian, then you should not be able to stand for government on any level. Julia Gillard is Welsh ( has she even taken out Australian Citizenship !! ) and Tony Abbott was born in London form Oz parents so probably has dual citizenship, and Bob Brown bats for the other team so has many barrows to push other than Green stuff.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some bloody governmental functionary, Labor/Greens or Liberal, that wants to share it with others who don't work!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a home doesn't make you a capitalist; it makes you a smart Australian.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English and without it being blessed first.

I believe there should be no other language option but English, both spoken and signs.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to, except on a carpet on a footpath in the middle of the afternoon in the downtown city rush

My heroes are , all my fellow Australians, the blokes who unwillingly spent nearly 4 years as POW's of the Japanese Imperial Army on the Burma-Thailand Railway, after the poms surrendered them in Singapore, 505 of my mates who gave up their lives in Vietnam, 23 of our sons who so far have given up their lives in Afghanistan and for what??, also Slim Dusty, Banjo Patterson, Henry Lawson who tell it like it is in the Australian vernacular, and grudgingly Henry Ford who invented the most awesome car and its subsequent variations
I don't hate the rich, but hate the way they always manage find ways around paying taxes
I don't pity the poor, I hate the way they always crying that they are hard done by!!

I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!
You would not fight for your own country so why would we expect you to fight for ours whilst absorbing its benefits
This is AUSTRALIA ....We like it the way it is and more so the way it was before you lot arrived ...so stop trying to change it to look like Britain ,USA ,Russia or China , or some other socialist country!

If you were born or legally migrated here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. (And take Julie Gillard and her group with you.)
I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the Lodge, the seat of our biggest problems. ( Have you noticed how big that seat is getting, you could almost rest a beer on it as its so wide!! )

I want to know exactly, where the "Do Gooder's " get their money from, and why are they always part of the problem and not the solution? And on that subject bring back corporal punishment in schools, give teachers back the power to control the classes so as good kids can learn. Kids today need to have boundaries set so when they grow up they have a set of values to live their life by and in consideration of others.

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what race, color or creed you are, but not just because you happen to be an illegal alien and scream that they are "RACISTS PIGS"


And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license. I think it's good....
I hope you are not too stupid to claim to know how our electoral ballot system works, The Politician's don't'.so what hope have we??
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

I believe that it doesn't take all the intellectuals to raise a child, it takes two parents....

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the Australian/Indigenous flag's should be the only one's allowed to be flown in Australia !

If this makes me a BAD Australian, then yes, I'm a BAD Australian
If you are a BAD Australian too, please forward this to everyone you know....

We want our country back!
My Country.....
I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Boer War. helping the POMS
My grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the the World Wars 1&2 helping the POMS
My grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Depression of 32. caused by the Americans
My father watched as his friends died in Korea helping the Americans and the POMS
I watched as my friends died in Vietnam ,East Timor & Desert Storm helping the Americans and the POMS
Over the last century Australians have died keeping the POMS and the Americans in jobs for war material.

Our son's and daughters watched & bled as their friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .. None of them died for the Afghanistan and Iraq Flag. Every Australian died for the Australian flag.

At a Victorian high school foreign students raised a Middle East flag on a school flag pole, Australian students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

West Australian high school students were sent home , because they wore T-shirts with the Australian/Indigenous flag printed on them.

Enough is enough

This message needs to be viewed by every Australian; and every Australian needs to stand up for Australia .

We've bent over to appease the Aussie-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.

I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the Australian flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know. I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AUSTRALIANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !

Let me make this clear! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY !

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

1. Get a sponsor !
2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past !
3. Live by OUR rules ! Dress as we ,Australians Do
4. Get a job !
5. Pay YOUR Taxes !
6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it !
7. NOW find a place to lay your head !

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !

We've gone so far the other way .. . . bent over backwards not to offend anyone.

Only AUSTRALIANS seems to care when Australian Citizens are being offended !

WAKE UP AUSTRALIA ! ! !

Add your bit if I missed anything and pass it on. I did!!

Its a contradictory load of shit. Complains about having freedoms removed, then asserts others should have their freedoms restricted.

Australia was built by migrants and will progress through migrants. Change is at times uncomfortable.

It has to be satire. If you agree with any part, then your parents and teachers failed you and stole the gift of being critically aware by allowing you to develop swallowing any jingoistic, hate driven, evidence deprived nonsense you could be force fed by the far right.

IF this is serious, the person is no less than an extremest, nay, a terrorist.

my bitch for the day!
The road works on the highway heading south from kingston! I mean its 60km/h FOR FUCKING EVER! Normally I would just do 80 as a bit of a compromise but I know that the cops have been revenue raising like fucking mad on that stretch because everyone speeds there cos its not dangerous to do it! I mean its 4 fucking lanes wide, for the most part straight as a die and has a new surface on it and in the last four times I've been up there I haven't even SEEN any workers or any sign that any work is happening there!!!! If people can't be trusted to drive at 100 along there then they shouldn't be driving at all!!
I personally reckon that its due to all the loose gravel on top of the surface flicking around everywhere so they want people going slow so that they don't get inundated with people wanting them to pay for the damage to their cars. But for fucksake why not put the right amount of gravel down, roll it in then brush the rest off? No they'd rather have it rolled in by all the cars trudging up there at 60 and let them push the loose stuff of the road and into the drainage ditches so they can block up, flood the road, eat all the base out from under the road surface so it collapses and they can do it all over again!
Get this, i was doing 60 up there yesterday and this black supra went past at 80 and a rock flicked in my window, hit the head rest of my seat, bounced off that into my head then dropped into my hoodie!! The stupid thing was I didn't hear a single rock hit my car the whole way up and the one that did flick up hit me in the head!

That's fair enough Webbey, but it's a bit dramatic mate. Ok, so there might be some Lebanese who target Aussies, but couldnt we say that about every race? It's a two way street and it's an extreme minority proportion of people who are involved in this shit. It's simply blown out of proportion by overly dramatic media like A Current Affair and Today Tonight, who pretty much cater to peoples insecurities.
I dunno where you get this info about boat people being from backgrounds of crime and voilence? Maybe the smugglers yeah, but boat people are generally just bullshit poor people who are sick of the shit going on back home and want a new beginning, they cant afford to do it legally and who probably wouldnt pass Australia's bullshit citizenship test. I probably wouldnt pass it after living in Australia all my life!
We all talk about conforming to Australia's way of life, but what is Australia's way of life? If Australia's way of life is about relaxing after a hard days work, or having a barbecue and some brewski's with mates, why wouldnt you want to share it? I'm the son of a migrant, and im pretty certain that somewhere down the line everyone has come from somewhere else. Im sure people bitched and moaned when my dads family arrived, im sure people will continue to bitch and moan into the future when 'different people" come to Australia. It's just the way things go, the world is getting smaller and smaller and Australia is not exempt, its just a bit slow at accepting change

Cerby
Post #8813

I think everyone deserves a fair go, but I also think that people should earn the right to be a citizen. I think that multiculture is an awesome idea, but setting up microcultures inside australia is the worst idea ever! So in the interest of stopping that from happening I think certain parts of incoming cultures which directly conflict with ours should be banned, ie the way certain arabic cultures treat women. Its not "sort of okay" It is directly opposite of australian culture and possibly law!! So fuck it off. If you don't that like well you don't really want to be in australia do you?

If you wanted to be in australia you would embrace the australian culture, this is not a backwards country with poor human rights laws. Its taken centuries for the western world to develop the laws and human right beliefs we have now and that is why you don't here about dictators slaughtering entire races of people in america or england or here. Obviously this means our system works and equally obviously this means the reason why refugees want to be here is because of the system that stops that shit from happening! So why the fuck would they want to change it.

I think ANYONE getting money from the government needs to be contributing or have already contributed to the government and country in return.
Obviously there is a fuckload more australian people on the dole than refugees and I think that they should convert the dole to minimum wage. So you get $300 a week, say minimum wage is $10, BAM you work 30 hours a week! If there is a really shit job which needs to be done say to the people working minimum wage " we will pay time and a half for you to do this job."
I think its a brilliant idea cos it will teach people to have a work ethic. Some people can't work cos they don't know how. SIMPLE. They find it easier to not work than to get up and do it.
And the amount of unskilled work that is out there that simply doesn't get done!! OMG
So the government is giving this money away, if they turn the people getting the money in a government employed work force its not going to cost them much cos they don't need to find the money to pay them cos its already in the budget. Now if you want to talk savings look at government funding and grants! Say landcare or someone goes to the government we need this money to rehabilitate that bit of land government says well rather than giving you money you can have a loan of our work force. BAM thousands saved and omg those 1000 minimum wage workers have done so much more than the 20 volunteers have!! FUCK YEAH win all round!!

But back to the refugees. Compulsory english, not just if you want to be get citizenship, just compulsory full stop, give them say 2 years to get literacy! And while your at it, compulsory year 10 level education!! So now for the money the government was giving away, they get like 2 or 2.5 days a week workforce and the refugees get an education and learn english, so they can get jobs and find it easier to live in australia and deal with australians!!

Cos i can tell you some of these sudanese guys for example, once you get past the language barrier, they are awesome blokes and can tell you things you wouldn't even imagine happening in australia! SO much shit has rained down on these people they deserve a break!!
And the ones that get into crime and act stupid, well fuck they have nothing to do!! They are given money and told to sit over there and behave yourselves. Well what are they going to do. Some of these guys have NO education, so what job can they get? And in their countries a lot of the time turning to crime isn't the big taboo it is here, a lot of the time it is the accepted way of making money!! I mean look at afghanistan! That place runs on opium full stop. Why has the taliban not been kicked the fuck out? Cos they buy the crops and get them overseas to get the money. Look at gunns and how loggers act when hippies try to shut them down! They act like that cos they are trying to protect their livelyhood.

Okay now imagine we got invaded by russia 50 years back and gunns fought them off then turned around and gave you a way to feed and clothe your families and the only bad thing is a bunch of people who have a million times more money than you, live like kings in your eyes and you will never ever meet choose to fuck themselves up with your product? You would say fuck them its their choice I mean jesus any idiot can see its bad for you but if they want to do then hey go nuts. then when that rich country said hey a couple of your criminals came on over and killed 2000 of our people, you'd be like "well over here people die all the fucking time, we except it as the way it is and you should to. Anyway it was our criminals so what has it to do with us."

And then the rich country goes " fuck you we are invading you country, blowing it the fuck up, shutting down the company that employs all of you, stopping you from earning a living and hey while we are at it we will steal all your shit to make us richer. We know you have fuck all but we want it and we are going to tell everyone else that its for your own good and force them to help us do it" I guarantee you that everyone here would be like "fuck you, I'm spending the last of my money on buying a gun from my mate bill across the street and I'm going to do my best to make your life shit" and gunns is like "sick we can use people like you, tell you what we will give you guns, ammo, food, feed your families and all you have to do is shoot at those arseholes and once they are gone you will be a hero and we will go back to buying your crops" Hell I know what I'd be doing!!

So anyway what im saying is turning to crime could be purely out of boredom or complete ignorance of how australia is.
So if we educate these people and force them to participate in our culture ( not saying get rid of theirs), make crimes harshly punished (like oh you came to this place to escape other people behaving like this and now you do it, well in australia that is not okay and we are going to send you back to your own country cos we are protecting our citizens from it turning into a country like the one you fled) Well now you have a functioning, contributing part of society. Their lives are way better than they were before, our lives are better, the country is a nicer place to be in and it is way easier to see the refugees as australian because you can communicate with them. And the exact same approach should be applied to the australian scumbags who have had all these opportunities and wasted them! Fix two problems with one stone!!

Its not illegal to seek asylum.

More Aussies, stab Aussies, than any other race does.

The only ethnic group truly over represented in crime stats is white, anglo saxon 'Australians' who fill our prisons and provide work for emergency wards on saturday and sunday mornings. Ditto the main group receiving welfare, and the predominant group detected cheating welfare.

Who is feeding you this crap that boat people are treated better than 'struggling aussie families'? I predict you do not have one shred of evidence to back this claim, because it isn't true. At best if you don't have a humanitarian visa or are granted asylum all you can hope for is to be penned in a community bunk house, at worst, locked in a prison (by any other name) while your claim is processed.
Should you get through this process there is no special benefit or rate of pay on welfare for immigrants who are beset with a wide range of difficulties in integrating into the community and getting work.

Illegal immigrants account for maybe 15% or so of total immigration.

Some pretty good points here....unusual for a boost convo tongue.gif

Well,I have my own view....we shouldnt bow to ANY minority groups.
Im not opposed to immigration as such,but what pisses me right off is when minoritys expect everything thier own way....and the middle eastern races are the worst.
They belive thier way is the right way,even though they have completly ruined thier own countrys through thier silly religious beliefs.

If they want to treat women as unequals,believe they can have "prayertime" at work,belive western culture is disgusting,have mosques,etc etc,then they should fuck right off to where they came from....but on that point,if a middle eastern person dropped into my place with a 6 pack of Cassie D's,a few snags for the BBQ,and ate the same meat as me...he would be more than welcome.

It isnt just middle easterners that this applys to though....White abos are a pet hate....I actually am a "white abo",and have more blackfella in me than half of those protesters....but Im not black,I dont live in an aborigional community in the outback,Im capable of working,so me or my kids dont need "handout" money....just coz I have a few specks of blood in me from the truganini days,I dont need fucking help,and it dont make me "special",and the only land I want is the house that I bought....by working,not by collecting centrelink and getting pissed,and having a grudge against the "whitefella",even though u blonde haired,blue eyed,pale skinned tassie aborigionals actually are white fella.....they must all have dirty mirrors.

And dont even get me started on same sex marriages and gays bringing up children....I could keep all you lot amused for days with my views on life in general smile.gif.

By the way mook,im from one of the "vales"....and also have a "fuck off,wer'e full" sticker on the back of my 4x4 tongue.gif smile.gif

If people come to australia as different races,from other countrys,but want to work,and integrate into australian society,and our way of life,its all good.

BUT....dont bring your culture with you,and try to mould our country to your way of thinking.If we cant go to lebanon,and have the government build us a catholic church,dont come here and expect us to build mosques.

Post #8817

I agree with a few things you said hsv. But I have to say that I think people should be allowed to practice their religion unless that means breaking australian law or anyones human rights....even if I personally believe religion is a lot of bullshit used by some people to control others and by other people as an excuse so they don't have to make any of their own decisions or accept any consequences for their own behaviour.

On the subject of gay marriage. I'm fully sure how I feel about it for two main reasons, first is tied up in the whole religion thing ( i don't see why people need to have this big ceremony to prove their relationship is for real or whatever)
And secondly marriage is a church thing! As far as I know gays can have a civil union which as far as i can see is legally the same thing just with nothing to do with the church. Now the church hates gays. FACT. Christianity is all about taking what is said by the bible and the vatican as "gospel" truth, and having "faith" that its the right thing to do. Now the bible and the vatican say hate gays. So by definition if christians don't have "faith" that this is right and hate away then they aren't christian.
so why on earth would you want to be part of an organisation that hates you!! By being part of it they are supporting the organisation and saying that they believe thats it right! makes no sense to me. i mean after being treated like shit by christians for years and watching them use religion as an excuse for it I said fuck you and your shit I'm better off with honest people than self righteous lying backstabbers! i mean if someone is going to stab me in the back then I'd rather they're honest about it, rather than pretending it's for your own good or its the right thing to do! I don't care what that book that the clever people use to control you says, its never the right thing to do to fuck people over!!

But I could not agree more about minority groups!! Even if you don't consider foreigners or different religions, minority groups have been fucking up the country for ever!! We need more freedom in this country and less people minding other peoples business!!

This can be such an intricate subject...


Martin Luther King nailed it in his "I have a dream" speach.

People are people. Everyone bleeds blood, everyone breathes air, everyone hurts and everyone is affected by hardship as much as anyone else. We are all on this planet together, no matter how different we look, how different we smell, how different our food or religious beliefs are, we are all the same at the end of the day. I can guarantee it's simply circumstance that allows people to be xenophobic or racist; if racists were born in a war torn country with nothing except the shirt on their mother's back(quite often not even that) then they would be seeking asylum too(It's effectively what any "AUSSIE" does anyway, seek a better way of life through money, possessions).

RESPECT is the key word everyone should be toting about instead of their "Fuck off we're full" stickers and "Aussie pride". Respect your neighbours, and expect respect in return.


Be proud of who you are, what YOU and your people achieve, and stop getting caught up over land and culture. Embrace cultural diversity, if you still don't enjoy other culture then simply live your own life. If someone hurts you personally, deal with it as such.
