You've gotta' love the Ausies, subtle as ever... but entirely right!

I know the white population don’t treat the Abo’s too well but in a country that is so sparsely populated there has to be plenty of areas left over for them to carry on living of the land? If not there should be.

Captain Cook to Abos.

"Look there's loads of desert over there, go and muck about in that. Us white folks will have all the forested bits by the sea. That ok with you?"

It wasn't a very serious point. I just enjoy the irony.

OK I thought u were having a rant.

[Numptycorner]

Nazis is overstating it. We have a real Nazi at CUK, so let's not cheapen the term.

The only Nazi around here is you Greg

Only if BRITISH citizens have suddenly become Nazis while I wasn't looking. You'd get a fair few braindead twats going along with it, sure, but the hypocrisy in that whole rant is pathetic. We went right round the world forcing perfectly good, ancient societies to change to our methods of living, but we start throwing our toys out of our prams if anyone else even suggests that we should change (which they aren't even doing most the time, they just want us to f**k off out of their countries which we're currently steaming around trying to forcefully "regime change", and completely failing for once).

Yeah, yeah, I know "PC brigade", "leftie b*llocks" blah blah blah. The right-w(h)ingers need to take a close look at themselves.

The 'PC brigade' argument is hilarious. It's guilty of exactly the thing it accuses others of: labelling people to close down argument.

To be fair on white Australians, they were hardly 'invaders'. Remember we used Australia as our human 'landfill' site to get rid of the scum of our soceity. They just happen to have evolved from that.

Well yes, you saying that Australians are also immigrants, but how far back do u want to go? We could go round and round in circles. English people complaining about immigrants, you could trace their family tree and say well you're ancestors are Romans therefore you are an immigrant and are a hypocrite?

It wasn't a very serious point. I just enjoy the irony.

They are Australia's aboriginal people and by any standard of recognising inigenous people, they fit. I'm only posting about it as I've met plenty of Australians who can't see the irony of ranting about immigrants not fitting in while at the same time ranting about Aborigines.

Americans - immigrants, Irish, Welsh, Scottish - all immigrants..

Well the Aborigines are not actually indigenous to Australia. They originally inhabited what is now called Papua New Guinea before moving to what is now Australia. So maybe if they're not happy they should also f**k off with the Muslims and all the other dissatisfied and (ungrateful) feckers.

And the crocs before them.

Depsite what some of our Australian cousins seem to think, Aborigines are humans.

[Moscow Mule]

And the crocs before them.

Well, if you're going to include one of the oldest species on the planet, maybe we should get the Greys to come and pick us up again...

[wendigo100]

Maybe the Aborigines should consider saying something similar to white Australians. Except then loads of them will have to come and live over here.

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on National Television.



"I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia : one the Australian law and another Islamic law that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option", Costello said.



Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", he said.



Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.

Quote: "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians."



"However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the 'politically correct' crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia ." "However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand." "This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. And as Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle."

"This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom"



"We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society .. Learn the language!"

"Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture."

"We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us."

"If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others.

"This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'."



"If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted."



Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, BRITISH citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths!

Maybe the Aborigines should consider saying something similar to white Australians. Except then loads of them will have to come and live over here.
