:lol @ Harold and Alf
I always find things like Australia Day strange, but I know it's because I'm from the Britain and we're just too old to have something like that.

Funky Junky
Mysterious Girl
And give me some kinda sign girl
holy shit i completely forgot about that douche
:lol there's a bunch of vege groups pissed about that.
heh, just saw the vid. it was pretty funny to me, but I can see why some people would be pissed. It breeds intolerance and discourages diversity, things which in many ways are unAustralian in the first place. Still... :lol @ the thong + brazillian men comment.

Haha a DJ at a night club I frequent got fuckin pissed at me coz I got over 40 people to request funky junky it was classic!
Then I rang every MacDonalds in the Area asking if a washed up popstar called Mr. P Andre worked there. The 13 year old's didn't have a clue about his wash board ab's!

Sadly, everyone in the UK knows who Peter Andre is thanks to a reality show.
I met a lot of Australians at a youth hostel not long ago, and I got to say...you're all awesome. One or two of the girls were a bit "loud" for my liking, but still alright. Generally I was just amazed at how cool aussies are. Or at least the ones who travel.

Yeah some Americans guys and girls I took night clubbing reckoned I was gay for drinking Smirnoff Blacks. So I challenged the guys to a sculling contest I finished the middy before the dudes were half way. One of the Americans proceeded to throw up learn how to hold you liquor!
BTW
Did Peter Andre marry the Jordan bird?

I think they're just engaged.
Sculling! One night I went out to an Irish pub (meaning real pints) with a few aussies and, given that I was the youngest, I apparently had to down every other pint I had. Yeah, right. Still I was up for it.
I managed it too. Despite the fact that every time I came back from the bar or toilet, my drink had mysteriously increased in volume while everyone else had drunk theirs surprisingly fast. I got some serious respect that night, good times.

Over 200 years if you're thinking First Settlement. But as a nation we're 104 years old, considering Federation only occured in 1901. Not surprising really, Australians generally suck when it comes to our own history -- hell I didn't even know who our first Prime Minister was till Year 7 or 8, yet by then I knew George Washington was the first US President. Who's our First Lady? Beats me, but I've seen her on the telly a couple of times.

You could date the landmass to that, sure, but not a country called Australia.

I have to say sorry to the rest of the world that we're insecure enough that we have to start a thread. We're almost getting to be like the Americans 
Ill Saint- you know what today is a self-congratularly day when we say how great our country is. It makes the public feel good about themselves. Other than that we're pretty militarily, politically and economically impotent outside the Asia-Pacific region. And hypocrites.
Atleast we don't have nuclear wepons paraded down the street- so I'm fine with some beers, barbies, cricket and some self-congratulatory back patting.
And Kylie ain't all that. That is the truth.

That's kind of the way history works. When one civilization invades and conquers another historically, they either kill the vanquished to keep them from mating with their own, or absorb them (sometimes killing just the men and mating with the women). In very few cases have conquered people been allowed to keep their cultural identities as it's generally detrimental (for obvious reasons) to the stability of the new nation-state.
Sucks, but so does war and conquering and all that bad stuff.

australia day is awesome. public holiday where you can go fishing the night before, then cook the fish you caught on the bbq the next day whilst drinking piss and watching cricket.
this is the australian way.
now all we need is tits and arse...
shhhhhhh.... its a secret.

Sure. But does this make it excusable? The majority of Australias indigenous people are ravaged by the legacy of alcohol 200+ years on, and continue to live like shit. We've pissed all over them. Their bitterness is staggering, and rightfully so... I don't think they have a whole lot to celebrate today.Inumaru said:
Anyway, I don't mean to bring this thread on a downer. Just some food for thought for any Aussies visiting.

That's Australianism and that's what we're celebrating. Finding any excuse possible to have the day off and get on the piss. Who in Australia under 50 gives a shit about the Queen? Nobody, but we'll still take the day off to celebrate her birthday.Ill Saint said:

Are you American? if so stop acting so high and mighty. I'm sure your native Americans really appreciated almost being wiped out...and those African Americans? Being chained up and picking cotton, shit, WHAT FUN! In conclusion, get out of this thread.
For the record, I don't give a shit about Australia Day or the reasoning behind most public holidays. However I do enjoy the holiday itself, and I detest hypocrites who come into threads and have a whinge, *cough*Ill Saint*cough*.
