patriotic.

I was just going through random pages on Facebook and stumbled upon a page called 'Fuck Off We're Full', enthusing Australians to satisfy their needs to attack all of us who do not identify with their 'Australian' way of thinking/acting/living. Here is what it said:

Australia - The Right to Leave!

After Sydney not wanting to offend other cultures by putting up Xmas lights...
After hearing that South Australian changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered...



Quote written by an aussie citizen and published in an Australian Newspaper:
"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 multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. 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 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!

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 dont care how you did things where you came from.
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 National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you to advantage of one other great Australian freedom..

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE!

If you arent happy here then move on! We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So Accept the country YOU accepted.

Pretty easy really, when you think about it.


If we all pass this around or invite your friends to read this sooner or later this will get to the complainers and THEY WILL GET THE POINT!

Cheers




...I must admit, it did make me laugh.
Because:

a) You say this, yet you strive for us 'wogs' to call ourselves proud Australians. How ? We do not act, speak, look, live Australian. We do not call ourselves Australian. Our ancestors came from different lands and, granted, we do not get a say in where we're born but to an extent, get a say in where we die and what country we're willing to die for. I wonder, do people seriously go up to a Japanese boy and say 'Ha ha you're Australian ?' Or is it really just the wogs that cop it, because we 'blend in' ? There's another subtle yet overt form of racism, in our every day lives. How dare you people have the nerve to call me Australian, yet outcast me because of my heritage and, ultimately, nationality; my proud traditions, family and customs; my religion and religious beliefs; my differences to you. And I speak on behalf of the entire population in Australia who identify ourselves with our 'wog' culture. We don't get the choice to leave this country and your fucked up views of how things should be [pfft] until we turn 18 and our parents stop holding us here by our throats. And if we choose to live here, so what ? You people have no problem going over to our countries, be it for a few months, a year or forever. Fuck off, at least we don't hide our national pride.

b) Australia is a fucking Aboriginal culture - all you 'white man' Aussies are fucking Anglo Saxon. GO WORK OUT YOUR NATIONALITIES and then get back to me. You don't even have a real culture, or maybe you do - terrorizing indigenous peoples of countries after you take over and slam the BRITISH flag down in the soil. Your ancestors came here in chains, ours came here by choice, there's the difference. Go back to history class and learn something. How many years did it take for your country to apologize for nearly wiping out an entire race, a race that was here long before your people even discovered this land ? A race that KNEW how to care for the land and had cultures and morals of their own ? But that's okay, you educated them too. Now why not make your own 'Australian' race. Technically, when you tell us to go back to our countries, you should really step back and think about it - or better yet, take a step back on to the boat and sail back to Ireland or England or wherever you manage to trace your heritage back to. Fuck off, at least we can be proud of where we come from. Which links me to point C.

c) Maybe Australia should stop calling itself a multi-cultural society. How can it possibly be multi-cultural if everyone in it has to be Australian ? That doesn't exactly work. Why pride yourselves on a label you don't even deserve, if all you ever do is condemn us all to call ourselves Australian and engage in Australian lifestyles that are not only foreign, but adopted off the English anyway. Maybe we don't WANT to speak English. Maybe we're content speaking Greek, Italian, Lebanese, Spanish, Chinese, whatever the fuck we speak. Maybe we're secretly making fun of you 'true-blue' Aussies so you won't understand. Maybe we don't want to abandon our religious beliefs, or our traditions, or our cultures just to please the minority [and yes, you are a minority] and provide a positive, consistent national identity to show the world how really and truly proud we are to be Aussie. Fair enough, some of these things are a bit far fetched - we do expect that nowadays with political correctness getting taken a step too far. But for God's sake. Sought freedom ? Get off your fucking high horses. The only people who sought freedom were the illiterate, drunken fucks who stepped off those convict boats way back in the time before time began and this country would be nothing, absolutely nothing, without the outside contributions. Where would you fucks be without your goddamn souvlakis, or pizza, or all the other creature comforts you all enjoy so freely ? Nowhere, that's where. You'd be stuck in your little rut of Vegemite and Wheel of Fortune. Good fucking on yas. Fuck off, we have a culture to indulge in unlike you.

d) Don't attack us for being here, it's not our fault. If I have to have the stupid fucking 'you are the nationality of the place you're born' argument one more time, I will rip someone's head off. If I was born in China, I guarantee you a hundred dollars I would never be considered Chinese - not in a million YEARS. What makes Australia so goddamn special ? Absolutely nothing. The generation before us fucked this one up. I ask my parents what nationality they are and they say Australian...do you know how much that kills the generation before THEM ? Our generation is too different, too patriotic. And you know what ? We love it. Granted, if we were to ever go overseas they'd call us Australian and probably try to send us packing. But half of us speak our native tongue. Half of us are planning to move back to the mother country. Half of us, if not to move there, plan to stay there for a while. And half of us resent our parents every time they call us 'Australian' or tell us to 'stop being so damn patriotic for a country that doesn't love us back.' Nah geez, let's just be patriotic for a country that's trying to get rid of us Mom & Dad. Very intelligent move on your parts. So fuck off, you may have done it to the generation before us who were most likely in awe from coming here on the boat like so many of our parents did and immediately took up with the evidently-non-existent culture that surrounded them. But you'll never get anywhere with our damn generation. And if you have, I pity those children.




There you have it. And for all you who join this group - I pity you, really and truly. It just goes to show how truly hurtful this must be to see your culture sink and your country get taken over by us foreigners. Maybe we should all stop talking to you and go back to our own countries.
...Maybe you should too.





FUCKKKKKKKKKKK YASELVES :D

april fools.

I don't think I've played an April Fool's joke on anyone since Year 7, and I kind of miss it ?
I hate the fact that we lose contact with our childhood as soon as we reach a certain point.
Who draws the line ? When do we have to grow up ?
Do we ever have to grow up ?

Two days until holidays, and I swear to God I better play a game of hide and seek with someone my own age. It depresses me that the only people who enjoy hide and seek are those ten years my junior, who have the most impressive hiding spots like behind curtains and under beds...hardly a promising concept of fun.


The things I will always love, no matter how old I get ;
Nutella, Happy Meals, Alice in Wonderland, Dr Seuss books, stripy toe socks, hair clips,
Sour worms, hide & seek, kids meals at restaurants, paper hats, paper chatterboxes,
Nightmare before Christmas, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Monsters Inc,
Backstreet Boys, glitter, Easter eggs, Halloween.
