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.

If we want to read his tripe we can find it ourselves, it's not like it's hard to find.


 

 

So how is your new flag design going for Australia,  have you thought what you would like it to be as you object to the one we have

 

 


Yes, I have. There are a lot of good designs out there just waiting for a new flag competition.

Bogan?....I was with a friend a while ago and she pointed out a bogan to me. This woman wore ill fiiting clothes that were obviously too small, wrinkled like they had been slept in, rode up at the back so the the womans unsightly midriff was exposed. All this while sitting on  garden bench legs apart and drinking coke from a 2 lt bottle and dropping cigereatte butts on the ground outside the court house.

Interestingly enough the woman lost her case 🙂 The magisgrates face said it all.....such a waste of his time.

A flag is a pievce of cloth bearing an abstract design how can it be racist, sexist or any other kind of "ist".? it is the people who misuse it  to proclaim privilage or superiority over others that are the problem.

 

I also feel the Union Jack is no longer relevant and would like to see it go. I rather like the one designed by Franck Gentil

I quite like this one. I stole the image so have no idea who deserves the credit and the shape is obviously wrong but I like the stars to be gold and like the way it looks.

What do you call it when the PM claims Australian made is of lesser quality therefore we need to purchase our submarines OS?


 What if that statement happens to be true?

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.

Australians faught and died under the Union Jack , right up to the Vietnam war as it was this war that we first faught under our own flag
Lots of good has been done under our current flag, but all that means nothing if you have tunnel vision and can only focus on the bad, the sad part is that in a few time if we were to change the flag the same people would be complaining about all the bad done under the new flag

Australians fought and died in wars not under flags.  No Australians have ever been to war about a flag and they're never likely to.  

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.
