… and for all those people who are on about australians being racist… no we are not racist. We are differentist. We hate anyone who’s different. Irrespective of their race. If they speak with a funny accent, if they look like they’re “up themselves”, if they’re too tall or too short, too friendly or too clever, no matter in what way they’re different, we’ll get ‘em. We’ll wear ‘em down. We’ll pummel ‘em with the tall poppy syndrome so completely, they’ll be outta here quicker than they can say, “gidday mite” [sepo] or “good day mate” [pom] or “gordonya mayt” [generic swarthy type with funny accent].

Helena opines: "for example the utter lack of justice in Queensland ( where I live ) that lets pediophiles off with a one hundred dollar fine…shocking but the list goes on when it comes to judges here." Helena, we are not always soft on crime. Do you realize that Australia has the highest penalties in the world for violent, brutal crimes like: 1) Failing to buckle up their seatbelts - minimum penalty of hundreds of dollars in different states, maxing out at a minimum of %500 in WA: 2) Failing to buckle up their seatbelts on a mining site - minimum penalty for a first offence of $5,000 (you read that correctly, as in five thousand dollars); So quit ya bitchin'. Pedophiles only target kids, and they leave us adults alone. Pedophiles only target those kids most likely to become pedophiles themselves. But seatbelt violaters target everyone. Every time I drive on the road, my life is placed in jeopardy by an irresponsible seatbelt hoon. We go out of our way to catch and punish the real criminals, like the flagrant violaters of seatbelt laws.

Have to agree that Australians are (well most of them) very ignorant towards other races especially English and American.

It has to be something to do with insecurity, I also feel they are also very short sighted with history, they genuinly believe that they are better at everything ??

I blame the school system in Australia, very one sided and jingoistic to the extreme.

To Point 2: Can’t say I have ever experienced this one. Maybe you are just going to the wrong cinema.

To Point 1: Must be a Sydney thing. Come to Brizzy and half the pubs serve Pints. The ones pretending to be Irish won’t ya serve anything else.

To Point 6: Australia also grows the biggest and best mullets!!!! Henry Rollins agrees. ha ha

To Point 9: Not true. I got a couple of wallabies in the backyard. Next door is just a goose though

Multiculturism, why do some countries feel they have to force multiculturism upon their people in a massive way? theres always been crossing over of peoples and cultures, and all of us naturally treat each person on their own merits when face to face, not on race.. but the basic question needs to be asked should different races and peoples around the world be allowed to keep their own identity and cultures? or should they be forced to intergrate with every other culture? seems an easy question to answer. there are people who have struggled for thousands of years to retain their culture and identitys, are they racist? one of the things that i love about the world is that you can travel it and see different cultures, different looking peoples and different ways of life, i love it and should’nt everyone marvel at the rich variety of cultures and peoples that humans have produced and how much more exciting that makes the world.. surely if every country in the world adopted the muticulture policys of western countries then the world would eventually become one people one culture. Thus multiculturalism taken too far is self destructive, multiculturalism destroys multiculturalism. personally i don’t want to travel the world and see the same people and same culture every where i go in this world. why do the leaderships of western countries feel they have to make their own countries ethnic mini copys of the globe? do they not relise we already live in a multicultural world, and theres nothing bad about that. multiculturalism is a good thing for every country when done responsibly and not at the expense of your own people and identity, it can open peoples eyes and teach tolerence. people are people. but do gooders that can’t see the forest because the trees are in the way seem to rule, do gooders whom are motivated by personal ambition, whom are motivated by a need to be seen as living saints at every one elses expense. we should be helping the peoples of the world to achieve the freedoms that western counties have achieved, but you should’nt have to give away your own peoples to achieve that. in this country we are told that immigrants need to intergrate and in the same breath that immigrants have a right to practice their own culture and (in our country) and that we should respect that.. doe’s anyone else see the complete contradiction in saying these things. no wonder people are confused. this is what shits me about australia and also the reverse racism, theres no doubt there will be some small minds that say what i’ve wrote is racist “without even knowing what race I am” the word racist has merely become a tool to shut anglo people up while we walk all over them..
