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

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?

The "i"s should be capitolized and your missing punctuation at the end, and a comma.
See, I can help too! 🙂
Capitalized, there I have returned the favour 🙂

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.
