Looks like yet another storm in a  tea cup from the easily offended no sense of humour and we hate Australia mob

 

This Singlet and T-shirt has been available for a number of years on the web, on eBay and in many shops around the country until some super sensitive poonce from Canberra on an end of season  footy trip to Cairns with his team  decided to get himself all offended and post a pic etc and then the usual easily we hate Australia types all jumped on it  (seems some ACT AFL players are over sensitive)

 

So is this RACIST or simply a singlet that’s says you are proud to be Australian and  if you don’t like it here leave.

 

Is this yet another storm in a tea cup from the easily offended humourless types

An original Tweet by George Craig from Canberra  posting a photo of the singlet with the caption “@woolworths cairns, selling racist singlets for everyday low prices! #racist” was shared by Greens MP Adam Bandt on his Facebook page.

Well actually it's you who have altered what said as never said that they faught about a flag i said they faught under a flag big difference and flags in the milatry play a very big roll

The old we can't change the flag because people fought and died under it comes out every time there is discussion about changing it.  

 

This is what I said

The flag is not very relevant to anyone's everyday actions, it's just symbolic even to those who hold it dear to their hearts.

 

This is how you rewrote it

but if they hold no relevance as you suggest then why the need to change it

 

There is a difference.  The flag is not playing much of a role in the heat of battle.  Even in the military it's playing a symbolic role, a rather large one but symbolic none the less.  I don't think Canada suffered froma  lack of patriotism jsut because they dumped the union jack so why should Australia?

Now if i too suffered from a lacking comprehension i would ask what "lack of patriotism jsut " was but I can decipher that you just made a typo 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

The "i"s should be capitolized and your missing punctuation at the end, and a comma.

 

See, I can help too! 🙂

Hey poddster,

You should be thankful of America every day. Your Damn right brave.... Men in this country couldn't wait to enlist for WWII. As my father did and came home damaged for his effort, so you could post your useless smarmy **bleep** about my countrymen here. 🙂

In regards to your ? About bravery

Re: Is this singlet RACIST

I will decline your invitation in the interests of harmony and diplomatic relations on this forum.

However, perhaps you could justify to yourself the slaughter of many thousands of innocent unsuspecting people, with no ties to the the military, in a stealth raid on undefended civilians as a show of strength. Perhaps you might like to familiarise yourself with the reasons that those targets were chosen over other targets.

Put aside your fierce patriotism and apply some logic while you do that, if you can.
