That's why I don't like Australia Day... it really makes me wince when I see eveyrone on tv celebrating Aus Day and waving flags etc... waving flags is not Australian.
Majority of Austrlalians are just as stupid as the white men that invaded the place? Well thanks I guess, everyone has their viewpoint and your'e more than welcome to express it. I do reckon Aus has an identity problem though - we seem to hire Aboriginals to do tribal dances etc at important events, and when they're done just leave their communities to rot in the middle of nowhere.
The whole celebration Aus Day (the day the white fellahs rocked up in their ships to Sydney harbour or something) is in itself a little twisted. Celebrating the day when we jumped off a ship and stabbed a flag into the ground isn't the most... tasteful representation of Australia, and is only really celebrating the Ango-Saxon past of Australia. Why not celebrate Federation or something like that? ANZAC Day is by far the true 'Australia Day' anyway.
Lol let this be a lesson, Ophelia... never ask an Ausralian about national pride, nobody can agree on what Australia is in the first place... Besides, everyone knows the only good thing about Aus Day is getting parro at the cricket.
